| Did you know simple sugar consumed in the first 45 min AFTER exercise stimulates insulin which in tern enhances protein synthesis….. I didn’t, and there I was packing honey before sessions and drinking high-quality protein afterwards….. So for the last week I’ve been drinking protein shakes an hour before sessions and hitting the cards an hour after…. The effect, muscles recover much faster. And if I overwork them, fatigue doesn’t last as long as it use to. |

Sounds really interesting, so are you saying simply have a spoonful of suger after a long run?
I know I have felt really low on engery after a particularly hard traning session before, and a spoon of sugar which tasted great and boosted me. |

Last night when I was driving home after gym, I was thinking …. I can eat a Twix bar (simple sure) guilt free right now hehehhehehe……. (I didn’t of course)
I tried to stay away from table sugar (actually I don’t even like it).
What I do, its usually add a banana or a spoon of honey to my protein soy milk shake. Protein is still needed to repair the muscles. Another article suggested that lower-grade protein is better than some of the high-grade protein after exercise simply because its digested faster. And really you only have about 45 min after exercising before your metabolism swings back to normal.
My problem is that I usually really push on the aerobic exercises which really tap into the fat supplies of the body (between 1-1/2 to 2 hours)and that I am starving for hours, sometimes days if I maintain my usual diet (1,400 to 1,600 calories per day). But I am afraid to increase calories intake, any suggestions? (don’t say work out less- that I can not do) |

No don't stop the work-out or do less 
You know I have tried eating a little fat, just a small amount not long after traning and it does wonders for filling you up. Fatty foods will get rid of that stomach churning hunger really quickly, as long as you drink a ton of water with it.
The fat I may have is a small amount of cheese on the top of my pasta, and some olive oil.
Personally I think cutting out certain types of foods is not the way to go, but moderating the amount taken definately is.
Oh I also found orange juice helps fight the hunger.
By the way I quite like the hunger feeling, it's like "YES" I'm in control! |

I'll try that, I do like feta cheese
I don't like feeling hungry, I always try to stay a step ahead by eating every couple of hours....but like you said limit the amount of food not eliminate curtains foods all together, and I think that's where I've been wrong.
Its just that everytime I look at a bowl of pasta I remember about being 190 lbs … let me tell you, that kills my appetite really quickly.
How long have you been involved with fitness? |

Well for me fitness is a life time thing not just a get fit quick idea.. I've been thinking about my body now in a fitness capacity for about 15 years. I never ever take the don't eat certain food types approach, in fact I think the concept of "a diet" sucks.
I eat pasta almost every day, in fact, but just eat less than say a "normal" restaurant portion.
It's all about listening to your body. |
