Another question for TrainerDan
Hey Trainerdan,
Thank you for all the extensive posting you've been doing. I know I and many others have gotten so much out of the information you share.
I know I've brought this up once before, but your earlier response has left me with questions and doubts. Here's my question: the authors of Protein Power state categorically that you should lift weights on an empty stomach, should hydrate yourself during the exercise only with water, and should not eat carbs for an hour after you've lifted, or you can "kiss your growth hormone goodbye." Your earlier statement seemed to imply that there is actually controversy about this advice. I usually lift weights in the morning and I just find it so hard not to have a little something for breakfast about a half hour before I lift, so obviously my stomach is not empty when I lift. Should I worry that I'm "kissing my growth hormone goodbye?" Give it to me straight.
