Well, I’m on a low carb diet…. I train 3 times a week, HARD, Upperbody/Lowerbody with high intensity (doggcrapp)

BUT, after my wokrout, that means three times a week, I go crazy on carbs, like 200 grams AFTER the workout, all those carbs come from food, GLUTEN-FREE foods, so banana, (white) rice and potatoes are my sources in that feeding window… since then I have made the leanest gains of my life. So a lot of cabrs post-workout will give very good results if you are limit your carb intake during the rest of the hours/days/week.

For the rest of the time I ate a lot of healthy fats and proteins and NO (starchy) carbs.

give it a try.

Will be great if you could refer wich study you are talking about. I need more scientific explanation than just a very simple afirmation.

When you say young rodents, what age does that refer to below 18 years old or what?

Hello there. This is kind of an “non-traditional” question , but have some other site visitors asked you how have the menu bar to look like you’ve got it? I also have a weblog and am really planning to adjust around the theme, on the other hand I am scared to death to mess with it for fear of the various search engines punishing me. I am extremely not used to doing this …so i am just not positive just how to try to to it all yet. I’ll just keep working on it one day at a time Thanks for any help you can offer here

Between whey protein concentrate and whey protein isolate, which among the two do you think is more expensive? Try to visit http://www.squidoo.com/high-protein-shake if anybody want more info.

Thanks Brad, it´s so confusing sometimes, too much wrong information, I read it was good to drink fast digesting carbs during the workout because it gives you better pumps, but honestly I trust your advise over those “gurus”. Now I know it´s just bs, thanks again.

During the workout? I don’t see any muscle building benefit, and definitely not any fat burning benefit, so I’d have to say don’t bother…just another bodybuilding-guru-gimmick.

Brad, what about drinking fast digesting carbs during the workout? I´ve been trying it and seeing good results. I´d really like to know what about this from you because you always give great advise and I trust it.

What would make for the best post-workout shake? Mine consists of 1.5 serving protein powder and 1 cup of orange juice

It is soooo refreshing to hear someone speaking common sense about this topic.

Also, increased insulin levels are connected with a whole lot of bad health, not just those you cited. Heart disease is the big one.

Keep up the good work.

Brad,

Bodybuilders use exogenous insulin. It overrides the liver and fills up the glycogen storages of the muscles first. That’s why it is so potent.

And you miss to give a citation of the study.

Greets, Jebus (not the dude with the cross).
