Protein before bed?

[alex2678]

Hate to jump in here, but 10 years ago when I lost the majority of my bodyfat (+30%), the last meal I had before bed was a big bowl of Life Cerial with whole milk. Sometimes with added berries or a bannana. And I ended up having abs for the first time in my life.

Your body is in survival mode 24 hours a day and really doesn't know the difference between Monday, Thursday, 1 in the afternoon or 4 in the morning. It's just not physiologically possible to store fat if you're burning more calories than you're taking in regarless of the source or timing.

Lifter, please be more specific why you feel this way.

The research to back it up is outstanding. But maybe the main reason is have a friend who is a surgeon as well as a competitive bodybuilder(nationals). He was the one who turned me on to these folks....I tend to take someone like thats advice.

I can completely relate to research & docs backing a supp you favor ... My personal health issues demand it. Thanks

alex - I'm glad you posted your findings as well.

There is ALOT of great info here on this topic, from two highly respectable individuals. And I'm sure there are many confused people out there trying to figure out what is the right answer ... As with MANY questions relating to the body & fitness, I believe there is NOT one right answer to this question b/c no one body is the same and there will ALWAYS be someone or somethign to refute it, no matter how solid the 'evidence' may appear....

I'd rather take the info presented & again, see what works best for me ... b/c all the research, references, opinions and 'facts' STILL may not EVER correlate to my personal findings...

Aww now you're lying. There is NO research to back it up because it has never been clinically tested. There is also no way to test that material for purity, so they use substandard material. And to add an even further dynamic to this lie you tell, AOR bought that material WE rejected from a broker.

Normally you'd be sitting on the sidelines by now and your post deleted. But people who might find that product and actually think it's as good as pure R+. Since only R+ is in the muscle cell in it's reduced form, it's IMPOSSIBLE for that to be better.

Since we are the world's largest supplier of R+ we get the material before anyone else does from the only lab left making it. What we reject after our chemist inspects it and we have it tested at the University of Wisc Covance Labs gets sold to brokers. Then people like AOR buy it.
It's nice that you have a friend who is a surgeon. However he doesn't know anything about the chemistry of lipoic acid if he told you that SR is a better form. OUR doctor has written a comprehensive paper on it and it will be published in the next issue of the peer reviewed medical journal Integrative Medicine. Have your friend read it to you. Or visit www.insulow.com when it's out and you can learn what the hell you're talking about.

We are also supplying the material to Northern Illinois University for a study on it's affects on blood sugar levels. AOR was supposed to supply their material but it was rejected. Now why do you suppose the researchers didn't want to use RS if it's better?

You're in way over your head bro.

Don't appreciate being called a liar. I take this personally. This was as I noted recommended to me by someone I respect.

I don't give a dam if you are some kind "chairman of the board"..don't call me a liar. My reputation means alot to me, and I do not recommend anything I would not or do not use.

The classier thing to do would have been to relay the information without the name calling. You must have taken exception to someone calling you on your posts, I can tell you are not used to being challenged. I can accept research and will acknowlege if I have bad information.

Do not call me names again....I don't give a dam who you are.

Chill bro,Ulter is a super good bro.No need to get all upset over a simple argument.

 

[Lifterforlife]

I am chilling. Not upset at all...take exception to the liar reference is all. Lively debate is what this is all about, it is how we learn. One of the beauties of our sport is the constant learning.

I don't believe anyone on here would intentionally lead folks astray, at least I would hope not.

I enjoy helping folks, as well as learning more along the way. I do this because I like it.
