Ok, I drink juice a half and hour before I work out and then I go for a little under an hour. If I was training for a longer period of time, I would have a different route. I used to be a supplement monger but I have eased up on thier use because sometimes it gets a bit much.

Arioch, you are screaming. Ok, so what happens when your blood sugar crashes after the big spike from the orange juice? [probably about 15 minutes into your workout] And again, you run out of glycogen stores in 20 minutes. Do you then stop?

Why not have something that enables your energy more efficiently and more steady, like a sugar free protein drink or some cheese before you work out? Honestly, you will find that your energy for working out is much higher.

You are dragging me back into this! ;)

Ok, Protein is for building muscle. Why would I drink a protein drink to give me energy? The Glycemic window I spoke about is REAL. Carbs give you energy, that is thier function. Protein is a poor substitue for energy, read my so called last post about endurance athletes.

Every muscle has a store of energy. I can not remember the scientific terms but I think it is ATP? That is gained by CARBS> There are no two ways around it. Carbs supply that energy.

The problem is that you all think that I am demonizing protein and fat. Not true, I LOVE protein. The reality is that YOU ALL ARE DEMONIZING CARBOHYDRATES.

There are three macro-nutrients(Again... *Sigh*), they EACH have thier purposes. I would not cut ANY of the three from my diet. The hatred of carbs is ludicrous. Read my last post and HONESTLY give me an answer, you can not.

Again, I must go elsewher but I will check back but READ the stuff I have written because the crap attributed to me is worthy of a liberal forum... JUst kidding! Not realy, but I meant it in good fun.

ALL MACRO NUTRIENTS ARE NECCESARY!!!! Dig it?
