But my question is this: for you weightlifters out there, what works for you? Non paleo weightlifters say they need lots of carbs after a workout, because the body is breaking up protein in order to recover. I do not want to do that of course. What do y'all do in terms of eating and working out, and why? Thanks --Richard If you've been getting good results doing what you are already doing than there's probably no reason to change. I believe the current recommendations of mega-simple carbs for weightlifters post workout is way over-rated but it really depends on what your goals are. To gain weight rapidly it definitely does work. It has also been recommended to those trying to drop fat but I've known many people unable to drop bodyfat when taking in high carbs postworkout. A simple meal containing an equal balance of 30-50 grams of protein and 30-50 grams of carbs eaten within 2 hours of your workout should suffice nicely. You could also use supplements like protein drinks which are good for replenishment but they are definitely not paleo and many provoke allergies and reactions due to all the dairy, artificial sweeteners etc. -Kelly _________________________________________________________________ Send and receive Hotmail on your mobile device: http://mobile.msn.com
