hungry afterworkout

I also drink a shake before I go and work out What time of day do you train? :) Melissa -------------- Excellence is an art won by training and habituation.

The idea is to deplete glycogen stores, and on an empty stomach, this should happen fairly quickly. The idea is that then your body will go to fatty acids for energy.

When I only do cardio I don't eat anything before but if I weight train I drink a protein shake (mixed with water) just before. Straight after the work out I take glutamine and vit C and then I wait for another around half an hour (time to take my shower etc) before I eat my oats. I'm also on a diet (competition in three weeks!) and I'm still losing fat. Anyway it works for me........ -------------- - Nina :o) Les Victoires éternelles sont celles du coeur.
