There is a lot of research supporting fasting during injuries and I can certainly testify to that by going from immobilizing pain Sunday evening to a tough WOD today.
The recovery plan was simple:
- 16/8 hour LeanGains fast
- Strict Paleo
- Pushing strong on the daily workout intensity for all unaffected muscles
The nutrition and intensity helps with insulin sensitivity and reduced inflammation (I refuse to take anti-inflammatory drugs even IB). I doubt other drug-free protocols can beat the CF recovery model.
