NEVER take in ANY carbs before aerobics - if you do, all you'll burn off is the carbs, and practically NO bodyfat.

If you must eat before aerobics, slow protein and fat only (bacon slice, single fried egg) - NO whey protein - it's too fast, it will glycolyze, and you'll be no better off then the juice.

Nobody should be drinking juice. Eat the fruit, eat the vegetable, but juice is liquid candy - no better than pop, unless it's fresh-squeezed, and then, only for part of a carbup or before lifting weights when you WANT an insulin response.

The "best" times for aerobics:
  • First thing in the AM, empty or a tiny bit of slow fat and protein.Protein and fat ONLY after. No carbs
  • After lifting. Protein and fat ONLY after. No carbs
  • At least two hours after eating. Protein and fat ONLY after. No carbs

If you're doing HIIT, treat it like lifting - protein shake before, protein and fat after. Don't do HIIT on a lifting day.

How's that sound?
