Post cardio nutrition

I was gonna write out a long response and tell you why you're wrong but I just dont care.

Keep doing what you're doing...I'll keep staying at 5% bodyfat.

Keep taking your ECA stack...you realize it makes you catabolic right? You also realize fats require more energy to digest than carbs? Most all food digested takes up about 10% energy for its immediate digestion. Cortisol is also highest after exercise and enzymes for nutrient assimilation are as well...but sure wait 30-45 minutes in a catabolic state to eat.

Why on earth you would want to refill glycogen after a cardio session is beyond me.

Why is it catabolic Bino?

Why is it catabolic Bino?

Not sure the exact mechanism but I know in studies that using ephedrine will have a catabolic effect on th ebody.

I wait 2 hours after a meal,then kardio for 60 min then I eat whatever is on the diet/meal plan. Could be chicken and rice etc. Thats how I roll. I usually have 2 bananas and 50gram whey after I train and then wait 1 hour before eating next meal,no good?

hasn't ephedrine been shown over and over again to be slightly anti-catabolic? going beyond the recommended 25-50mg may slightly change this, but otherwise, it does not have a catabolic effect....

Beta-agonists are not "catabolic" in human skeletal muscle.

I dont think this is actually true after doing my own research on it Bino. I read Pin state it increases ACTH and/or cortisol, but in my own research found nothing at all.

Ephedrine will actually have a net positive effect on LBM through agonism of muscle adrenoreceptors. Ephedrine also has LBM sparing properties.

No doubt there is evidence stating beta-agonists show anabolic/anti-catabolic effects in animals, there is ample evidence this is also demonstrated in humans.
