Any kind of fat or fiber or both will work. I particularly like flax meal, best of both in my opinion.

Fructose uses a non insulin dependent pathway, replenishes liver glycogen for a later use.

Mercola was a fan of this also, but upon subsequent research has long since changed his stance.

Wouldn't a higher GI diet, especially when calorically restricted hurt your insulin sensitivity? Isn't insulin manipulation (keeping blood sugar steady, etc.) crucial to our progress?

Good call....

I would think the answer lies in a teens ability to naturally have enough ATP production, and creatine could actually shut down their normal output thinking it doesn't have to put any more out if it is going to be supplemented. Not sure about the last part of my statement, but the first part is...

Save your money.... :D

I say good riddance to a company that has been ripping people off for years. They used to be a decent company at one time, way back.....

CLA is best utilized on a bulk, as its main claim to fame is that it interferes with a substance in your body called lipoprotein lipase that helps store fat in your body. If you are on a calorie restricted diet, you probably will see very little benefit from it, as you are not taking in enough...

Obviously none of you have ever competed. It is one thing getting to 9-10% bf, but quite another getting to competition bodyfat levels. So, you think that to get to 4-5%, all you have to do is tighten your diet more, do cardio, and take a protein supplement? Well, you unfortuantely are in for a...

Exactly!!

Look, I am not here to argue, I really don't care what you guys want to use or not. I replied to a question simply asking what would you use free form or bonded aminos for. I gave some examples. This was all. I have been doing this for the better part of 20 yrs. , been competeing, and have done...

If you are calorie restricted, i.e...contest dieting, your job 1 is to protect lean mass. I am sure all will agree with this. Your body will get BCAA's from where it can, and this is muscle tissue. If you do not supplement them, as you all may well know these cannot be made, they must be gotten...

This is simply not true. How about BCAA's when calorie restricted! Your body burns them quite efficiently for glucose. Not trying to be fecitious here, but you should do your research before making a blanket statement that is not at all true.

In the beginning, this may be true. You will make phenominal gains no matter what you do. Once you pass this phase though, it starts becoming very difficult at best to add lean tissue. This requires more calories, and by the very definition(more calories), comes a bit of fat. You can limit it...

You are asking the difference between free form and peptide bonded aminos. Peptide bonded are great (the chain is not broken), when needing a full spectrum protein, like post training, or even during training, or to supplement your "whole food" meals. Free form aminos shine for a...

I think that in the end it is up to you. There is evidence both ways. I will always load, I know it is a tried and true method and works. I want to start making gains in a few days, not a few weeks. So, you should experiment, do what works for you. There are even non -responders out there, so...
