Does anyone know what the gi of whole wheat flour is? I like to make healthy muffins and cakes, with only the ingredients that I would be eating normally in my diet, so that effectively I'm not limited to eating them once a week or whatever. However, I'm worried that the fine flour, which has...

I know you don't advocate the PWO insulin spike Jodi, but can I ask what your reasons are? Is it maybe that you are already very insulin sensitive after heavy exercise, and the whey itself is enough to provoke a large enough response ? You then take oats to get a prolonged carb absorption?

So you guys are pretty sure that cooking the whey protein doesn't affect it's availability / use to the body? Though I'm a chemist, and can't see a reason why this should be so (except at VERY high temperatures), I have been told by protein companies that it will damage the protein to cook it.

sounds pretty charming. What warning signs did you pick up on ?

Can you tell us more about what you were consuming that caused these problems. E.g. artificial sweeteners

Ok so I'm feeling inclined to go back to mon/wed/fri with my current split. I will do that until I've done 6-8 weeks/cycles total, then change it up again. Your intensity definition makes me think I should up the weights and drop to sets of 6 reps. The thing is, how far can you take it...

What type of shark do you guys eat? You must be aware that some species are close to extinction from overfishing and wanton destruction for their fins etc... I'm personally all for abstaining from them for those reasons.

How do you rate HIT, Max-OT and HST as training methods ?

Well, I'm not sure what my 1rm are, but I lift so that I can just do 3 x 8, then I up the weight. How do you train ?

I'm not using total body workouts though.. day1: chest/tris/abs 2 and 3 rest day 4: Back Bi Cardio 5 and 6 rest day 7: Legs, Shoulders, abs 8 / 9 rest repeat.... The highest intensity I can muster though.

Hi, I could use some of your opinions on what to do here. For a long while I trained a M/W/F split doing chest/tris/abs on monday, back and bis on wed, shoulders/legs/abs on friday. I used to do 20mins HIIT cardio after each session. Now I did this for a long while on top of university and a...

I tried these, used davinci caramel syrup b/c I had no maple :D They just came out and they look and smell gooood :) I'll let you know on the taste verdict ;)

Well, I used to to do a Mon / Wed / Fri 3 day split, one body part per week: Chest/Tri/Abs/Cardio Back/Bi/Cardio Legs/Shoulders/Abs/Cardio I got overtrained, took a week off, did 2 more weeks and then due to various travelling and time commitments have since been doing a 9 day rotation: day1...

Um, Bread isn't that low on the GI scale, no matter what kind.. it's been processed. Might I suggest Old fashioned oatmeal ? Healthy Fats: Nuts, Oily Fish, flax oil etc. Have protein at every meal, divide your total daily intake by the number of meals you eat et voila.

This is an interesting thread, would you guys care to elaborate on what other things might not be critically important for some people ? I'm all for experimenting to see which things are important for me, and no-one should have to live with a spartan diet if certain things are not critical for...

http://www.cspinet.org/nah/4_00/stevia.html This was something I just found, I can't find the original article I was talking about. When I get more time I'll find it and post it. Alex

I've heard some pretty negative things about Stevia too.
