At the time I had my calorie levels set so I was bulking. After one week at tier 1 I had lost body fat and I couldn't believe how hungry I was. I had to consume a lot more calories and carbs moving into the higher tiers to start gaining weight again.
Also, currently I'm in a dieting down phase. I'm 6 weeks in, averaging 2lbs a week, and I haven't even touched cardio yet. FT and the diet are just doing their job!
I suppose it's due to the fact that's Fortitude Traning is based on full body sessions.
When I first switched from a basic split routine (one muscle per day - trained once a week) to a Chad Waterbury's progam, I couldn't believe how my metabolism and my hunger encreased.
And it's at this time that my periworkout nutrition made a huge diffrence in the performance / recovery process.
