PWO nutrition is pretty damn important in mitigating the stress hormones that are causing these issues.

Yep, been finding getting some carbs in PWO - will be adding a shake for straight after at the gym has been working well to enable decent sleep.

Since the box is a bit further away from me now I'll need to bring some stuff with me in a cooler or something like that.

Mark I usually take a milk,banana, strawberry, honey smoothie/shake with a good pinch of salt in it and stick it in the fridge. If I need protein I'll throw in some natural yoghurt, but obviously if you're not eating dairy none of this will help.

Seems to be some evidence around milk is a very good post exercise drink.

[Tom]

Why the salt, Joel?

As far as milk PWO, I've been doing full paleo for two weeks now and some of my worst cravings come after a heavy deadlift/squat session when all I want to do is down 1L of milk haha.

On a budget if you need a liquid recovery drink nothing compares with milk. Chocolate full fat milk is better with extra carb from chocolate. Having said that I 100% believe whole foods will get you there. Just eat!!
