K-WaL’s BodyBlog

so, I’ve always been a proponent of low carb dieting.. Carbs.. they were the enemy… till I reached my last rut.. I just didn’t have the energy I wanted in the gym, and was feeling like a I was making anything happen new at the gym.  For the last month I’ve added in 2 now critical parts of my new diet, and think they have made the difference.  In the morning, I wake to a large swig of gatorade followed by a fruit (half a grapefruit, or an orange)

preworkout, I’ve added an orange, and post workout I’ll drink half a gatorade right away.

I’m still loading the protein in, and have noticed that this 1-2 bottles of gatorade and 2-3 pieces of fruit a day, have not caused any weight gain.  If anything, Its making me feel as if I’m burning more calories per day, and I’ve increased my energy levels significantly.

so, I say.. go fast digesting carbs.. but keep them and the bulk of what you eat around workout time… save the fasting and calorie counting for other times..
