Okay, so once I read from Arnold that this 30 minute window immediately following a workout is the absolute most important time for consuming the right foods as this will make or break a workout...okay, WTF?
Firstly, I undertand the significance of taking in nutrients/food immediately after a workout and why. However, this whole 'make or break' thing...not so much.
I suspect the window refers to the oppurtunity to take advantage of supplying your muscles with adequate nutrients for optimal growth...obviously this window does not just stop after 30 minutes right? So why only highlight the 30 minutes instead of the typical 48 hours after to focus attentively on the diet.
My point in all this is there are soooo many people that claim the make or break philosophy and if there is evidence/research that supports this I would just like to know what it is and why.
Thanks.
