Thanks everyone,
I've recently changed to Firefighter crossfit and runnning to change things up, I'm doing all the crossfit stuff in firekit so its really mental. Last month I did just firefighter crossfit and so no i'm just incorperating running back into it.
Stevethespartan, my old basha buddy is a qualified sport scientist, but a hopeless lazy one if i'm brutal, i'm getting some nutrition advice from a website FIRERESCUEFIT.COM. He's a nice guy but keeps pushing supplements which really ain't my bag as I KNOW anything can be found in diet alone its just the commitment.
My chocolate addiction is quite bad, to the point I saw my GP as I became unbareable when I gave it up that the Mother inlaw posted chocolate through the door and wouldn't come in until I ate it! The doctor said it seemed like a hormone imbalance that the choclate was helping to balance and that because of my physical training it shouldn't be a bother continueing eating the chocolate.
Yeah to be honest it should be ok but obviously it will slow Down the fat burning process. Will just stop you being as lean as poss. But on the flip side of that, you can gain anything from diet but it is very hard work. Supplements make life a lot easier. Even if it's just the basics. I'm a professional fighter and train 2-3 times a day so I need to take different proteins and amino acids to recover. I'd defo recommend getting a good protein shake. Chocolate flavor ;-). This might help with the cravings. It may be hormonal because chocolate releases endorphins etc... But I may also be in the mind. My down fall is fizzy drinks and sugar in general. I have to trick myself but eating quite a bit of fruit. Good sugars.
