[Statiz]

[AandF6969]

UNoffical "How to Cut" thread and sample diet...

Carbs are good after a workout..

[lil hulk]

i will usually take down 2 scoops of protien with 1 cup of oatmeal (for carbs) after workout.......just put them together and drink the oatmeal down if you dont like it...its easy after you do it a couple of times..........your body will use the oatmeal right away so you will have minimal or none fat stored off of the carbs......thats why they say eat them after workout

[sonnygll]

You need to research the cutting diets more. There is no such thing as "no carb" There is just low carb.

For absolute maximum fat loss, you eat 20 carbs a day, with high protein and fat intake. No post workout carbs or anything. It all depends on your goals and what you can stick too.

Of course something easier to stick too would be better. 40 to 60 carbs isn't too bad. You also have to eat the right carbs, no processed junk.

Just start reading up on it and you'll get it. We all started out confused, not knowing $h1t about it. Doing some reading a little here and there over a period of time will do the trick.

when i cutting i eat carbs for breakfast, pre workout, post workout and post post workout... and so do most other people that means i eat carbs in 4 of my 7 meals. Carbs are good, need more researching

[sonnygll]

Actually carbs are a very individual thing. They aren't good or bad. I know some skinny ectos who have to eat like that. However if I ate like that, I would look like Jabba the Hut, in no time. Many people who have or had a weight problem are like that. Frequently that is why they are fat. They have impaired insulin function and sensitivity. It's just choosing the right plan for your genetics.

Why are you typing every word starting with a capital letter??

Tuna can be purchased fresh, 0r processed..

Closed minded people are doomed to stay that way in all aspects of life.

You still don't have enough fats in that diet..

Real food and not so many pre-made shake products is the way to grow..

[Kokaine]

Cheese??please


The Sodium In Cheese Will Make Your Stomach Look Like The Michelin Man

Round Top Steak Has Fat Saturated

and why are you making new posts for every sentence

oh i bet you are trying to get your post count up

[Kokaine]

Yehawwwww

[sonnygll]

Right on.People that don't eat carbs are clowns with no muscle.

Oh yea, because everyone is exactly the same and there is no such thing as genetics...... That is utterly ridiculous.

[Kokaine]

Your muscles are full of glycogen and glycogen comes from carbs.No carbs=No muscle.


You can cut carbs for a while to get ripped but the 50 g of carbs a day thing for the rest of your life makes no ****ing sense.

[sonnygll]

Actually a little protein is converted to glucose and you still eat some carbs and that replenishes glycogen. Also nobody said anything about eating that way all the time for life. The topic is cutting.
And finally you might look just a little flatter when cutting, but it does not equal no muscle. Your muscles are NOT full of glycogen. They are actually proteins full of water. Glycogen is just the fuel. If your muscles were full of glycogen, when you workout, they would deflate until they were really small, and then swell up really big after PWO. Since that doesn't happen, I think we can assume I'm right.

When I am cutting I burn through all my glycogen during the workout. I can tell by the shaky feeling. However my muscles are still looking their biggest because they are full of blood.

I think you've got a lot of learning to do.

This guy wanted advise.I doesn't matter whether you are cutting or not.


You have to eat carbs for breakfast.


You have to eat carbs before weight lifting.


You have to drink maltodextrin PWO


You have to eat a small amount of complex carbs 1 hr after PWO shake to stabilze glucose leves after the insulin spike from the fast acting carbs you drank PWO.Not doing this will mess up your insulin realease for the rest of the day and eventually lead to fat storage.


On your day off..or on cardio day...Shieeet don't eat any carbs at all if you want.Your sorry ass is gonna feel like crap all day long but hey,if it makes you happy.Fat loss and muscle growth is a lifetime commitment and any kinda of extreme dieting for long periods of time will do nothing but damage to your overall health.

[magic32]

^^^^^That's sage advice, the only exceptions would be purposeful carb depleting as in pre-contest, or event (vacation, beach weekend, etc.) cases prior to which you'd carb load to re-inflate. Also, during these times you'd employ CNS stimulants for artificial energy.

That's true for some people but so what? I was simply commenting on our ridiculous blanket statement earlier. And the "muscles are filled with glycogen" thing. That's like saying your car is made out of gasoline. Utterly retarded.

[Kokaine]

Stop reading magazines and learn how your body works,Dude.The difference from person to person is minimal,all that "Oh, some people are carb sensitive" bullshit makes no sense.Theres ONE way to eat and unless you eat like that you are not gonna gain muscle for shit.Long term carb depletion causes the same effects on everybody and they are:

1-Low glycogen levels in the muscles=Shitty workouts with low intensity that lead to nowhere.

2-Reduced protein uptake into the muscle cells due to improper insulin release timing=Loss of muscle fiber and fat storage.

3- Depression due to lack of serotonin in the brain=You will get stressed over stupid shit,your glands will release too much cortisol which leads to catabolism and muscle loss.

Your body is 70 % water therefore your muscle cells are 70 % water too.But yes people that work out store most of they glycogen in the muscles and you should take proper care of that essential ingredient of the bodybuilding puzzle...


Shut the hell UP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[sonnygll]

chill out and quit having temper tantrum, crybaby. Change your tampon, take some midol, and calm your ass down.

Here is study about insulin function differences between ethnic groups.

Here is an article explaining how an endomorph is different, and how it relates to bodybuilding.
http://www.bodybuilding.com/fun/beast41.htm

Here is some research about about metabolic differences in general
http://jn.nutrition.org/cgi/content/full/131/2/354S

1 only if you go too low.

2 yea, not $hit. That's why you have to fine tune it to your genetics and goals, see links above for research on those genetic differences.

3 Bull$Hit. Where is your proof that carbs have a serotonergic effect? If it did then a high carb diet would be a cure for depression, but cause sexual dysfunction in 15% of those people or so.

Which serotonin receptors does glucose happen to be an agonist for? lol

On your last point, you have at most 400 grams of glycogen depending on muscularity. That is a very small amount of total volume. When you eat low carb, your muscles can appear a little flat sometimes. However when you get off, they puff back up. So who cares.

So, unbunch those panties already.

Right on.People that don't eat carbs are clowns with no muscle.

I disagree completely with this quote(no offense) but as a trainer I work with people who can eat carbs all day and gain very little fat, but I also deal with people who eat carbs heavy for one day and their asses jiggle for a week!
