This is what my meals typically look like. All are recent meals, steaks are always 16-26 ounces, sweet potatoes or potatoes for a side, and I eat PB&J on toast daily.
I have been filling in with my whey protein 3 scoop shake with almond milk.
Snack is typically whole wheat cereal or cheerios with high protein milk.
I took it at the same dosage for my back and week 3 or 4 is when I was finally pain free.
I agree the inversion tables helped with pain relief and will speed up the recovery process. I still use them regularly.
