I was in the gym this morning and talking to one of the trainers there. He was very positive and had a lot of great things to say, HOWEVER . . . he bashed my beloved Atkins WOE and did say 'fat makes you fat'. Argh! However he did make some good points, I just want to make sure I am on the right track . . .
He suggested I eat a low glycemic carb meal before weightlifting (a bowl of oatmeal) and drink something high carb right after. I understand the preworkout carbs, but not the after workout. I have done so well with Atkins and am truly terrified of carbs especially simple carbs. Since I am following a modified Atkins with lower fat and more low glycemic carbs, I don't want to mess up. What do y'all think? I tell you, the nutrition part of this is harder than the workouts! -- Toni
