Gluten- try to avoid

It often makes me feel sluggish, tired and retain water, but here is another good reason why to keep your gluten in-take low!http://paleozonenutrition.com/2012/06/08/unexplained-infertility-it-might-be-caused-by-gluten/

Carb Loading?

I hear on many a cycle or during my time in the gym of how people have filled up on the carbs before their session- great example is a huge bowl of porridge/ cereal or a bagel and jam.
