Diet help please

[Phate]

Well just proteins in general is all I mean. But ya our bodies just do much better without ingesting any sugars at all. I never suggest anything that causes a high output of insulin.

I mean from a health perspective alone in my case I know 1tsp of sugar can decrease immune funtion up to 17% for up to 4 hours.

Whey protein may digest faster, too be honest I personally dont know the transit time for it. I have never actually read into it at all. I mainly stick with food sources and perhaps have a shake here and there when I need to but dont specifically use it for PWO or any given time.

A lot of the info online was something I stuck by when i first started out. But then I actually went to school for nutrition, and made friends with a couple IFBB pro's and a few top end competitors and realize none of them have shakes or dextrose PWO. They have food. Or sometimes they have a shake at the gym then go home and eat RIGHT AWAY as their main source of nutrition PWO.

very informative, thank you, hopefully i'll be able to take some nutritional science courses this semester

Definitely should man. The world needs more people informed about proper nutrition.

And people will ALWAYS disagree, even the most knowledgeable people in nutrition who write the textbooks.

But you gotta try a few things for yourself and see what works and what doesnt. Take courses if you are able, read your texts and scientific reviews...and if you have the chance talk to people who look how you want to lol. Some dont know wtf they are doing but if you get high up competitors or pro's you can get good info from some.

I make suggestions to people based on all of those. And my suggestion to anyone I help is never use dextrose etc PWO. I wouldnt suggest using synthetic insulin either.

If I train 2 guys the same, and they both take the same calories from the same macro ratio and one uses dextrose PWO and one uses sweet potatoes or oats i can bet the one using dextrose isnt any bigger at the end of a year. He may be more bloated and be at higher risk for diabetes or have a decreased immune system tho lol.
