What a Day
Today is a WOW day for me....I know i should not have gotten on the scale at the gym but man i am glad I did.. I have hit 102 lbs lost...I am so freaking happy. The new change with the carbs before and after my working out has paid off.....:-)
See i got something out of the oh event in phx last week..:-)
Nov 2007 start 6 month diet at 380 lbs
Scott,
Congrats on the big loss. That's right you definitely have to make sure your metabolism doesn't go too far into "starvation mode." Carbs are one option, protein drink also turns into blood sugar but not as quickly or efficiently. You might give a 10-20 gram protein drink a shot and see if there's any difference while you're working out. Maybe 30 minutes before working out.
In theory, protein is better for natural growth hormone secretion (over the long haul, anyway). Carbs (especially simple carbs) cause more insulin secretion, which can help build muscle, but (insulin) is a two-edged sword in that it causes the body to store fat. (Ask anyone who's just started treatment for diabetes.)
Best Wishes,
Dave
