Try to stay more Alkaline based on the ph scale than Acidic which is very hard eating more whole grains, fruits and vegtables than eating a high meat diet. I eat a lot more chicken and fish than any other animal based food along with a good amount of greens and fruits. Eating more towards the higher ph side (alkaline side) of the scale I have noticed more energy to go to the gym and lift then to go train later, not to mention my body recovers a lot faster. I definately don't follow a strict diet I do cheat but not excessively and my over all well-being is much better not just my body but also my attitude.
