  • Foods to avoid...

    Post up the foods you avoid while cutting... besides the obvious (dognuts, hotdogs, candy, ice cream, etc...). What are some "healthy" foods you avoid while cutting and why? For example - dairy products (milk, cottage cheese, etc...). Let's see the list...

    So while cutting you would avoid dextrose or maltodextrin - post workout?

      apples and bananas are typically a no-go for me...definitely no dairy...most carbs are gone except usually sweet potatoes and brown rice...

        **** gymdiva - your avatar says it all! I'm very impressed!

        So do you avoid most fruits while cutting?

          For me... no fruit or dairy. Fruit is a very high simple sugar also known as fructose, and dairy is also a simple sugar known as lactose. Not all carbs are out from me. I keep complex, slow-burning carbs in my diet, but I keep my fat as low as possible. I don't get any nuts or added fats.

          Good slow burning carbs are sweet potatoes (low GI), white or red potatoes and brown rice.

            so would you keep carbs like oatmeal in the morning? also fibrous like broccoli and the like are still considered ok? or would those get canned too when going low to no carb?

                Fibrous carbs are fine. Just keep up with how much you are eating and make sure it fits into your daily calories As for oatmeal, it is a complex carb that burns slow. It is better for a carb up day. Oatmeal is one of those foods to keep track of how it reacts with your body.

                  I think if you are "cutting" for competition, your diet is much more strict. If you are cutting, to be more lean for your personal liking, you don't need to be so extreme and cut out fruits and go so low with carb intake.
