+ 2 Carbohydrate Backloading (Where In The Fuck Have I been?)

ad

I stumbled across this abstract: https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/15107010

It is unfortunate the full article is not readily available; however, the abstract itself contains a treasure trove of information that points one in the right direction. The 30-minute intervals of post-workout, high glycemic carbohydrate ingestion is intriguing. Furthermore, looking at the suggested ratio of carbs to proteins to fats, it is apparent the dietary information contained within the article is Dorianesque. The key difference, as previously noted, is the 30-minute intervals for 4 hours post-workout of high glycemic carbohydrate consumption. Dorian Yates, as I recall, did not recommend anything quite so rigid.

I am sure this information is nothing new to many individuals at Eroids. What I personally find to be of interest, if this study is correct, is that one should consume most their daily carbohydrates in a 4-hour-post-workout window. I would also assume the 100 grams or less of remaining carbohydrate allowance should be ingested in the morning time, and should be of the low glycemic index.

I am going to try this method of dieting in a few weeks. I must admit, I find it anomalous most of the carbohydrates are to be of the high glycemic kind; notwithstanding, I am going to give it a shot all the same. If this does pan out, I will be sure to post a log of my progress. You can call this optimism.

Do chime in if you have something to add.

Edit: I will have my work cut out for me. One must consume protein every 2.5-3 hours to maintain a positive nitrogen balance, per a well-known Eroids member. I don't dispute that information. I am curious as to how much protein should be consumed during a 4-hour window when Carbohydrate Backloading, and if it should be coupled with the carbs every 30 minutes. More reading ahead!!!

I am not promoting or selling this guys program. But I have done it and it works. He is considered an authority on this particular subject and works with diabetic doctors and cardiologist alike. He has a masters in particle physics, I think. This is relevant because when he talks about a study or theory he references it in his articles and research.

I call it my captain crunch diet because that's what I like to eat before bed! High glycemic carbs and trashy ones is the way to go post workout. But there are specific elements that need to be in place first. You have to be in a keto state first and you have to be lifting.

I'm doing plenty of lifting -- no problem there. Thanks for the link! I will make sure to do a full review of the material.

You're right! In addition to the dextrose, whey would also provide a good insulin response. This is good stuff!

Everyone is different, what you need to do is test your own macros, for 3 weeks try high protein low carb and see if you grow or shrink. After 3 weeks try high carbs low protein see what happens, this game is not a race you have to find what works for you not Dorian Yates or Ronnie Coleman because you are not them.
I upped my carbs starting Saturday and lowered my protein, as of today I lost 3 pounds. I will stay on this diet for 2 more weeks and see where I'm at. BUT on a side note my strength increased and that's what I was after. For those not competing carbs are very important for growth because it gives you the energy to train and train longer. Shit even Lee Priest was a high carb trainer, he loved fried chicken and ate it twice a week even during training. Carbs can be your friend but you have to experiment on your own, write a journal with your intakes a d either weight loss or gain and that will let you know.

I'm nothing special, I try and experiment because even science has no clue. They keep changing their minds every year, eat more protein, eat less protein, eat this, train this long, when all it boils down is if something is not working for you, change it.

Nothing could ring truer; we all must find what dietary approach works best for us. I will keep a detailed log of my training, diet and rest going forward. I am both curious and excited to see what happens.

You can track your gains or losses easier that way too instead of guessing like most people do. Ask Makwa if he has a log I'm pretty sure he does, he's a competitor and has a great aesthetic look to him.......No homo
