So the title and description pretty much says it all. I feel nauseous when doing some workouts, specifically compound movements such as deadlift and squat, or any cardio. This is not a new problem. I've had problems with this all throughout track and cross country in highschool, body conditioning my sophmore and senior year, and now persisting into my workouts at 20 years old.
At first I thought it was my diet. During highschool I never paid attention to my diet. After highschool I ran with a good friend of mine, and be simply said that it was because my body was burning calories, which could cause gas. When I continued to burp, excessively, he began to think it was my diet as well.
I'm now doing Scott Herman's Push Pull Leg 12 week shred challenge and am really excited to see what I can do. I will say my diet is not perfect, but I am proud of how I reshaped it and my lifestyle. It hasn't been easy learning how to cook, and I'm still working on perfecting my diet. It is, however, a far better diet than I had. I haven't strayed away from simple carbs (except sugar of course. I cut down drastically on added sugars) such as white bread, but my carb, protein, and fat intake is getting close to on point. Yesterdays meal plan features 28% fat, 23% protein, and 49% carbs. I'm aware the fat is way to high and needs to sit at 20 percent, which is why I fixed that issue today. I ate just at my maintenance calories, because my overall goal is to simply see a loss in fat and replacement of it with muscle and not necessarily to just gain muscle because that would mean gaining fat too, and that isn't what I want to see. I am a new lifter (2 years of off and on lifting, never anything serious) so my body isn't in that great of shape, so I figured losing fat and gaining muscle was a perfectly reasonable goal considering newbie gains.
Ive been getting all the necessary vitamins, fats, minerals, and carbs. I weigh 175 pounds, 24% body fat, RMR: 1827. BMR: 1656 and I am 5ft 11.
Which begs the question: Why am I so gassy when I work out? I felt like I was going to throw up after a 15 minute hit cardio because of the amount of air in my stomach, and belched so much most of the air in my house is probably my own stomach gas at this point. Gross, right? I'm not obese, so could something simple like probiotic greek yogurt fix my woes?
