Milk while cutting

[The_Eviscerator]

I stopped drinking milk last year and I noticed that I don't hold as much subcutaneous fat and water. I just throw some Silk (soy milk) in my shakes or oatmeal if I need a milk fix.

Again, this is more of a diet question than an anabolic question.

thank you

wouldn't having liver glycogen stores full keep thyroid output at your normal levesl?

yes, but you dont' need it FULL to maintain normal thyroid function. Once liver glycogen is full, carbs are directly converted to fat via Pentose Phosphate pathway

not quite

Actually they will go and refill your muscle glycogen as well but at a fixed rate and if the rate at which they are being relased is faster than the rate at which u can fill your muscles with glycogen then you will gain fat or if your glycogen stores are totaly full\become totaly full and your carbs are still releasing sugar. This is why something like oatmeal that is slow releasing will more than likely make it into your muscle stores as long as u work out durnig the week and dont overflow your glycogen stores every day but instead use it as you fill it and dont fill it so much on off days.
