Re: Follow Along G's Run to the NA's

What type of oatmeal do you use? Any good tips for spicing it up?
Why does it seem to be your carb of choice pre-contest?

hey man, i actually use quaker quick oats. they just came out with some no sugar or sweetner added maple and cinnamon here not to long ago. those are the ones that i am currently using.

the reason why i use oats as my go to source is that 1- it has a min insulin response 2-tons of fiber 3-it is filling to me and not as hard to nail 100g of oats as opposed to brown rice. cream of wheat is also a good one i like first thing in the am. it is a touch faster than oats processing but no significantly crazy impact on insulin either. i do transition over to sweet potatoes when i load carbs up to showtime also.

long and short of it is i like the fullness i get and i still lean out while being able to push max numbers of carbs with them and it cleans you out also

Also, when you get into your lower carb days and carbs get cut by meal 3 and say you train between meal 4 and 5. Do you go no carbs postwo or do you shift a carb meal pwo? Wondering how anal you get about "carb timing"?
