Fructose, Dairy and SUgar substitutes.....

[JKurz1]

3 things in my current diet that I've heard and read I should try to eliminate. DO you guys consume any of these products whether bulking or cutting?

Also, fats. I'm amazed how many go low fat 99% of the time....thoughts? Theories?

Fats, while dieting keep my muscles looking full instead of flat. This aids in keeping down my "Tlak Time" at the gym when veins are bulging out of you delts lats and bald head poeple seem more hesitant to talk to you. I call it the "I'll rape you mom and kill you puppy factor". But to each his own.

Fructose: I try to stay away at all costs when cutting, as it restores liver glycogen rather than glycogen found in muscles. For general health, fruit is good, but for bodybuilding, not so much.
Dairy: Most dairy products will illicit an insulin spike that i don't necessarily want on a cut, but not such a big deal to me when bulking. I always keep the good ole cottage cheese in the lineup though...
Sugar substitutes: If it's found that Splenda is some type of carcinogen, i'm royally fucked. However, the sucralose in splenda appears to be the safest one out there.

All very good advice. Simple sugars are a killer and you must read the label on everything you eat.

Real yogart seems OK.

Agree on Splenda .... millions will have problems.

And everything is fair game when bulking????

Splenda is fine............I use TONS a day.........long term effect???? GOD only knows.....but you'll die of some cancer causing product...........

I use dairy year-round, but when cutting, I use only 3-4cups per day of the Atkins milk, which has only 3g lactose per cup instead of 12, so my sugars stay low. Off-season, lots of skim milk. Splenda, a good bit while dieting, very little off-season. Fructose, only from soda when bulking or on a cheat day lol, otherwise pretty much never.

wonder why everyone is so against fruit.........or is it you just don't really care for the taste?

Great piece of bullshit mumbo jumbo.

Well bro he's right. Carbs keep your muscles full, NOT fat. Carbs, and the water stored along with them, fat is not doing it. Plus, in a recent post you mentioned something about being on only 10g's of fat a day, which, not only is almost impossible given your diet and amount of red meat, but is also far too low to account for muscle fullness even IF fat could account for it. And as we've already learned, or should have known already, it's carbs that keep muscles full, not fats. Otherwise, wouldn't bber's fat-load instead of carb-load before a contest? Sorry bro, but for the most part, your whole post is wacked out and makes little sense. Must be a low-carb day huh?
