I'm BACK!!!!!!!!

Which is known to be a very reputable bodybuilding place, and the ex-pro there was telling me not to eat ANY complex carbs on my days not working out...(just veggies) Now this is very hard for me to do. My stomach starts hurting when I dont eat enough carbs... Is this correct info and is this something that I will get over as my body starts feeling really weird and my stomach hurts a lot when I try to follow this... -------------- My mind tells me to win, my spirit shows me how, and my body delivers.

	2005/03/28, 02:54 AM i think he got it backwards....all you want to eat are complex&fibrous carbs......ie sweet potatoes, yams, brown rice, lentils, beans, soy.....while avoiding simple carbs like white rice, potatoes, pasta, white breads....etc.....only times you can eat simple carbs are right after your workout....with protein....complex carbs keep you satiated longer and help keep up with your diet...

It is a bit extreme, I believe there are better ways to go about it. What he is suggesting will in fact work, but it is a type of thing you really have to get used to, and want really bad. You may not be able to do this. -------------- If you don't stand for something, you will fall for anything.... bb1fit@freetrainers.com

I bought new running shoes (Oasics gel kayano) and haven't had one shin splint since!!! my knees have been acting up lately though, so I am having to roll them out and stretch real well to keep the knee pain down... -------------- My mind tells me to win, my spirit shows me how, and my body delivers.
