Cool. I already eat stuff that's high in good fats ie avocados, nuts, peanut butter. I will give it a try next week. Will wait for my wheatbread to run out first.
I've heard about these low carb diet way back in 2004 or so when I took food nutrition course in college. The thing is that people thing they can eat allthe fatty foods they want if the carb is low...

None of these devices are accurate. You need to get dunked in water for the most effective measurement of your body. That's what I'mdoing next summer.Originally Posted by Rompe Toto

I mean, there are some things that you'd want to minimize, like saturated fats and avoid like trans fats. The thing is, when most people golow carb, they substitute with unhealthy alternatives. Instead of sugar, they'll use splenda, not stevia. Eating fibrous vegetables, nuts, oils, seeds, andmeats will help you out. They're mostly healthy and a lot better than the typical North American diet.Originally Posted by wj4

For bread, you should look at/try sprouted bread. It's great stuff. Healthier, lower GI, etc. It's definitely more expensive though and it doesn'tlast as long because it has no preservatives. Around $4 a loaf

Low carb diets are always dangerous though. If its just lower end of the recommended amount low (45% of total calories) then thats one thing, but a strictlylow carb diet is never a good thing in my book.

Im 50/50 on carbs. There are days when you train and you need the energy, so oatmeal etc. to me is essential for getting the most out of my training. Howeveron off-days I keep carbs to a minimum (60-90g) and just raise my fats. However, whatever you'll eat there will be some trace carbs. A typical trainingday would be around 30%-40% of carbs, off day around 20%.
The first thing you should do before going low carb is to identify WHEN to eat them and WHAT to eat. After that you can tweak them. I go for low-GI preworkout, then high-GI post and a meal late might be low-GI. At mid-afternoon its all bout fiburous(sp) carbs (broccoli, cauliflower, carrots etc..)

There's no way I'm cutting it out 100%. I'm just going to play around with it. Instead of a turkey sandwich, I'll eat 2 turkeypatties or something instead.Originally Posted by Durden7

The whole GI thing im skeptical about as well. The more I research GI i've come to the conclusion that it doesnt play a large role in anything.

Post workout they're definitely needed as well as preworkout. Skipping carbs altogether isn't good though.

have you read up on it's effect on insulin and other metabolic related hormones like leptin, IGF-1, etc? in general, the higher the GI, thefaster blood sugar spikes, and the greater the release of insulin and associated hormones. most of the time, that's something to avoid, because largeexcesses of energy storage lead to adipose tissue generation. time wise, if you consume high GI foods close to training sessions, the insulin receptors inyour muscles are far more activated, so energy and nutrients are directed mainly towards these tissues for rebuilding and repair. consistently high levels ofhigh GI foods can lower insulin sensitivity and cause type II diabetes. fats, protein, and fiber tend to slow down the absorption of high GI foods, althoughthese foods will also trigger a release of insulin, though not as much as carbohydrates in general.Originally Posted by Durden7

processed grains and sugars are very high GI, and are found in a large number of things people eat all the time. the rise in the amount of processed foods inthe western diet coincides with the rise of the obesity epidemic.

I just played a ton of bball yesterday (tournament, played 8 games and I played the entire games w/ no sub) so my body is definitely feeling it.
However, today is a day I usually work out and run. Should I rest an extra day and start my workout tomorrow? Or should I just continue?
