Fructose, Dairy and SUgar substitutes.....

oh, Carth - what are your thoughts on dairy too? Do you consume daily? Cottage cheese? What is it that bloats? The sugars? I found cc, with like 5g of carbs 2 sugars and 80g of protein PER POUND.....it's pure casein......I would think this is a numero uno protein source...no?

A few years back I used to consume to cottage cheese a lot. But I always ended up bloated and with gas and sometimes the runs. Turns out I was lactose intolerant. But anyways...i do not eat that anymore. Too much sodium in that shit.

Cassein protein you said? That is all I drink. I consume no other protein but that! Whey protein..only pre and post workout.

Carth: Rice Cakes are about the worst damn thing you can eat carb wise brother (brutally high G-index).


Your other choices: Yams, Oatmeal, and brown rice (not a fan) are GREAT Carb options.

Eat what you want, just an FYI bro-mac

What brand of Rice Cakes are you talking about? Mine says brown rice on the ingredients. And its only 7grams of carbs per cake.

BTW guys. For me...not you guys. Since I eat whatever on the weekends. I always like to drink juice with my breakfast meals. Like OJ, or Strawberry juice etc etc. But all you guys say this is bad. Then what would be a good alternative that tastes like juice but is better for me????

A company named "HOOD" makes awesome very low carb "knock-offs" (Orange Juice/Lemonade/etc.....) that have all the vit/min's as the real shit with little to no carbs.

They make a LOW carb milk that tastes great too.

Looks good but you know what? I don't really think it matters that much. Like I said, I only consume breakfast juice Saturdays and Sundays. You really think 2 days of the week is going to be bad for me??? I don't think so.

helps T4->T3 conversion as well as leptin levels - refer to my other post for definition of leptin

Mr.X...I now understand this part. But what would deplete glycogen from the liver in the first place? And how would I know this happened? Do I feel something?

Honestly brother----everything they make tastes great IMO (except the yogurt products...they're "ok" )

Very healthy stuff.

Without a doubt the best thing you can drink in the morning is Grapefruit Juice. Talk to any bodybuilder of health expert and you will find this to be the case. If you can get it fresh squeezed it tastes even better.
Of course anything in excess can have effects you don't want.
A half a glass is the way to go!
