Some of you may remember discussion here about the benefits of vinegar consumption before eating a meal containing CHO. Avantlabs has a lengthy thread going about it right now that I follow. First, let me say that I have been using ~2 tbsp of apple cider vinegar right before my post-workout shake which at the moment is the bulk of my carb-intake for the day (~75g dextrose mixed in with Drive+). If for some reason I have a meal with more carbs, for instance hosting a barbecue, I down a few shots of vinegar before eating.
Effects (anecdotal of course): Muscles feel fuller, and no post-competition bloat from increased carb intake. In fact, I am staying leaner than I have before.
According to some of the chatter at the Avantlabs forum, their is soem evidence that acetic acid also raises leptin production as well as increasing glycogen recompensation (especially in the muscle and liver).
Anyone else using the vinegar pre-carbs, or I am the only one crazy enough to still down the stuff?
