((-You must understand that the idea of taking in pre-workout carbohydrates is not necessarily based on improving performance (which it does for some; it's only a "bonus"). Carbohydrates allow better muscle fiber recruitment- in turn preventing fatigue. The main goal of pre-workout carbohydrates is to promote post-workout glycogen synthesis while only interrupting ketosis for a short period of time.))

Zeus,
I see. I did not understand that. I get it now.

Is this your first go around with the TKD? If not, what were your results on it before?

I wonder also if you know if an occassional Diet Coke or Diet Rite would cause a person to get kicked out of ketosis?
I guess this is a personal thing, right? Each body responds differant?

Finally, if I do weights in the am and then do a cardio session right after, do I wait an hour for a protien shake or do I get one in as soon as I finish the cardio? I am still ccnfused on the importance of eating what, when. I suppose it is all a timing issue to get feed the muscles and not lose muscle.

Any thoughts?
