• stretch anything that you "feel" soreness either when training or when you stretch daily for 5 mins to increase your range of motion
  
• Ultima raspberry electrolyte drinks twice daily to relieve muscle soreness and help with diet https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IIGVUQA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
  
• fish oil twice daily. Walmart Spring Valley brand supplements are good and studies show good purity. Make sure you research whose supplements you take.
  
• Maybe some glucosamine sulfate if you are having joing/tendon issues
  
• focus on your breathing and keeping an active pace. Do cardio training outside of bjj with a goal of increasing your lung capacity
  
• Build your bjj game around your particular strengths rather than trying to emulate another persons style. Focus on you getting better week to week rather than keeping up with the rate of improvement of other particularly younger members
  
• Don't roll faster than you can think about what you are doing now and what you want to do next. going harder is almost always a bad idea
  
• If someone injures you because they explode into submissions do not roll with them any longer and let them know why as the younger prouder group won't give them that feedback. You'll likely only get a couple of those injuries before you can't do bjj any longer
  
• Competition is a different experience but at my age of 52 I only have 2 or 3 competitors out of 1000 at an ibjjf for example so think realistically about what competitive experience is available to you.

The best zero sugar electrolye drink power I've found is called Ultima. https://www.amazon.com/Ultima-Hydrating-Electrolyte-Raspberry-Gluten-Free/dp/B01IIGVUQA

I like this one

Hi there! We seem to be pretty similar - also Cat 3 lady with 90g of protein a day. First - fish oil will have no carbs in it. For electrolytes, I ordered this, which has none, or you can use lite salt or Powerade zero (or equivalent).

For carbs, you're going to want to keep them under 20g (not counting fiber, like with keto) and fats also under 20 grams. Lower is always better, if you can manage it, and spreading carbs out throughout the day will prevent spikes. I messed this up by eating a container of pico de gallo for dinner last night, and felt weird for an hour but nothing too crazy.

Keep in mind that this is, very much, a type of fast. You aren't going to feel satiated, but it will work. My personal favorites for food are:

• sliced turkey breasts from the deli (careful about flavorings, smoked is usually OK but I found the sriracha one isn't) with horseradish or mustard, if you like tangy spicey stuff
  
  
• Egg whites however you like them. Either boil eggs and leave the yolks or as scramble with dark green veggies of your choice
  
  
• Chicken breasts marinated in calorie free stuff. There are marinade suggestions at the back of the book.
  
  
• Shrimp with cabbage and soy sauce. I may add a tablespoon or two of a sauce with a few carbs in it if I've been good the rest of the day.
  
  For reference, I'm averaging around 635 calories a day.
  
  I'm not gonna lie, this diet is very boring. Others may have better ideas - I know my husband has concocted some crazy curry that meets his macros, but it always ends up being more than I'm allowed to eat all day (he's a significantly bigger person than me in all directions). I'll get the recipe at some point though so others can copycat if you'd like.
  
  You can follow along with my updates here if that's helpful! I update every morning, and will probably keep going until the 14th.
  
  Good luck :)

Haha! It's "Braundo" and most definitely!

In case no one posted the links yet, this is what I ended up with for my electrolyte drink. Into a glass of water I pour in NuSalt, grind in some pink Hymalayan sea salt, and down it with a 250mg Magnesium pill. I do this first thing every morning, and combined with diet I get all of my electrolytes.

NoSalt

Salt

Magnesium

My wife can't do this, she uses this mix and it does work for her:

Ultima

Hope this helps! KCKO!

This is what I was taking that made me feel bad. https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IIGVUQA/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Also, tried Mio which wasnt really helpfull, but wasnt as bad as the stuff from amazon.

Lyte Show is a life saver

ultima electrolyte drink mix

The ultima has no added fake sugar, or brominated veg oil or any of that crap and has a lot more minerals than Gatorade/Powerade. I love the raspberry but there's tons of flavors and they also come in individual packets but I prefer the scoop to make pitchers of it.


The lyte show is great to keep in your bag for when you really need help. It's also great for athletes and binge drinkers because of how quickly it replenishes. It does taste like salt water but not as bad as you would
Think. The other option will
Taste better and be easier for you to drink but this is for when you need it quickly...and it really doesn't taste that bad


I swear by both of these.

Also this one which is on the pricey side but has zero cal

It'll do in a pinch but I'm a big fan of Ultima Powder. Pickle Juice works too when you're getting crampy from exercise and need to hydrate.

Personally I hit the salt plain, I don't mix it. Little gross but you could do either one.

Black coffee, as in no additions/creamer/sugar is fine. I hate it personally but it helps immensely with hunger control lol.

If you're worried about calories in electrolyte powder I'd just buy something like this that has 0 calories. Personally I wouldn't even go searching for something 0 calories as all the ones I've seen have 0-25 calories and you need I believe 40 calories or more to break a fast.

In addition to my morning electrolyte drink, I mix in Heather's Tummy Fiber. I'm not sure if it makes a big difference for me, as I've been using it since I started keto, but people with digestive problems swear by it.

You get more bang for your buck with a powder than with tablets.

I prefer Ultima powder. It's cheaper than Nuun (per dose) and isn't as chalky. It's also good because it has zero sugar (it uses stevia instead) and has no artificial colors and flavors . I've tried most of the flavors and IMO Orange and Cherry/Pomegranate are the best.

Agreed. I think OP should try nailing all the electrolytes in one go with a scoop of this daily

I don't know what electrolyte replacement you're using but you could always try something like powerade zero or a calorie free powder.
