Ok, Protein is for building muscle. Why would I drink a protein drink to give me energy? The Glycemic window I spoke about is REAL. Carbs give you energy, that is thier function. Protein is a poor substitue for energy, read my so called last post about endurance athletes.
Every muscle has a store of energy. I can not remember the scientific terms but I think it is ATP? That is gained by CARBS> There are no two ways around it. Carbs supply that energy.
The problem is that you all think that I am demonizing protein and fat. Not true, I LOVE protein. The reality is that YOU ALL ARE DEMONIZING CARBOHYDRATES.
There are three macro-nutrients(Again... *Sigh*), they EACH have thier purposes. I would not cut ANY of the three from my diet. The hatred of carbs is ludicrous. Read my last post and HONESTLY give me an answer, you can not.
Again, I must go elsewher but I will check back but READ the stuff I have written because the crap attributed to me is worthy of a liberal forum... JUst kidding! Not realy, but I meant it in good fun.
ALL MACRO NUTRIENTS ARE NECCESARY!!!! Dig it?
I prefer my carbs after I work out since recovery is best aided by getting some protien and carbs right after training.
I don't hate carbs, they hate me. I feel much better and have more enrgy when I'm getting more protien and fat than carbs
No, we are not. You are shrieking again, Arioch. You are wrong, noone here is demonizing carbs. I demonize REFINED carbs. I don't even demonize starchy, high glycemic carbs like potatoes, however, I do not eat them because they play hell on my blood sugar and make me feel like hell. I probably eat more vegetables and nuts than any person I know. When my friends are gorging down on beer and pizza, I am eating pizza TOPPINGS and a side salad with a Diet Pepsi. I never see them eat vegetables at lunch.
I eat at least one salad a day and several cups of veggies and nuts. The Atkins diet has much more vegetables on it than the average American diet. Even in the strictest phase, it is required to have 2 salads and 2 cups of vegetables.
I can't believe I am being lectured on diet by people who eat junk food!
