My visit at the Doc's

Last Friday I decided to go see the Doc; he put me on anti-inflammatory and antibiotics for several days. My physical was yesterday, everything was good, the inflammation seems to be under control and am trying to watch my diet, and eat a few things throughout the day. Lately, I had been concentrating on work and work, and skipped meals, drank less water..., and I got tired, and my body fat % actually went up ??? I talked to the Doc about it, and his answer was interesting: You need to eat more doing P90X, so that your metabolism keeps going throughout the day, breaking things down, burning fat and calories.  If you do not eat enough, your metabolism slows down (starvation mode), and is most likely going to store things as fat, rather than breaking them down and using them for fuel.  Another thing; if you eat complex carbs-type food (multi-grain bars, brown rice, etc...), it takes longer for your metabolism to break it down, so it works longer, and that's what you want. If you eat simple carbs (white rice, white bread, sugars, etc...), sure it's easier to break it down, but whatever your body doesn't break down for immediate use at that moment is stored as fat for future use. I'm not an expert, but I guess it makes sense. So let's eat more and see what happens.
