Lesson Overview

2.44 – Why Some Diets Make You Feel Heavy in the Gym: Some foods change how your body feels during training, even if calories are similar. Large, heavy meals before workouts can slow digestion and redirect blood away from muscles. This can make you feel sluggish and unfocused under the bar. High-fat or high-fiber meals too close to training often cause this effect. Blood flow competition between digestion and muscles reduces performance. Timing meals properly helps muscles feel lighter and more responsive. Food quality also matters because highly processed foods can cause bloating and discomfort. Feeling heavy does not mean you are weak, but it can limit output. Learning how your body responds to certain foods helps you plan meals better. This lesson teaches awareness instead of rigid rules. When digestion is calm, workouts feel smoother and stronger. Proper timing improves both comfort and performance.
