strain and recovery tanked
starting to question how much i’ve been blaming alcohol for my bad recovery
had two red days back to back recently. no alcohol at all. also stopped eating like 3 hours before bed
only thing i changed was food… ate pretty processed stuff, high sodium, sugar etc
what’s messing with me is i used to get these same numbers all the time when i was drinking. and back then i just assumed it was the alcohol
but if i’m being honest those nights also came with worse food choices
so now i’m wondering if i’ve been putting too much blame on alcohol when it’s actually both
like yeah alcohol obviously hits recovery… but this kind of food seems to do a number too, even without it
curious if anyone else has seen this
have you had red days just from bad food alone? or do you still think alcohol is the main driver no matter what
