Fruit and Diet

[deltreefitness]

If your cutting diet is as strict as a pre-contest prep, I'd say cut the fruit - its just a sucrose sugar source.

Isn't sugar from fruit Fructose?

I heard alot about simple carbs makes females retain water and make their tummy flabby.. Is this true or just a myth?

Yea you got me. I knew it ended in -ose. (I'm flying around the moon on claritin today so I guess I took a left turn at Saturn or something...)

No one said it was ideal Broly...I said that if you must have it when dieting po is the best time of the day.

am on an empty stomach certainly isnt ideal as am cardio is the theme


...and the question wasnt about insulin spikes...it i a question of finding an appop time to eat fruit because of its taste and palatability

Point taken. It does make sense.

...if bulking were the main goal..then Id agree with you 100%...no bones aboutit....

Im sticking to the 1/2 cup oats post workout for now, till I get convinced that simple carbs (malt/dex) more beneficial post workout and not make your stomach flabby

excess carbs make you fat...PERIOD.


the point of PO nutrition is to get nutrients to the body asap...thats why you need simple carbs...



but - suit yourself....

Give me a week or two with the oats and I'll switch it up to simple carbs and see what happens
I'd rather have a banana with my shake than sweet tarts or the dex/malt mixture

I usually have a few Shock Tarts after my workout... love sour candy.

sour candy? I can handle that! I love sour candy too!
Does this work the same as the malt/dex as smiple carbs?
