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?Quote:

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?
i think brocolli is cool anytime...precontest is no time for fruit juice, dairy, fruit...i cut back on sat fat but i like eatin a steak the day of the show...ya, keep your oatmeal carbs and such to earlier in the day
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.Quote:
