That what provides the carbs in the 3:1 ratio and replaces blood sugar levels after doing some exercise.If you're that fucking set on demonising sugar just nail a pint of skimmed milk for your protein and wander round in a daze all afternoon with low blood sugar.Or just drink some water. That must be good for you - it's got fuck-all in it
P.S. anyone with good SCIENCE on the 3:1 or 4:1 ratio thing? The only paper I ever saw didn't control for calories, so the 4:1 carbs to protein lot got 25% more calories than the 4:0 (i.e. no protein) set. No wonder they recovered better...And this was for endurance athletes, not people dangling around on their fingers.
hey petejh, I just finished reading the article you linked at, it's really interesting. have you got some suggestions for snacks or food combination that gives that 4:1 ratio that is recommend? in the article they give this example, which I am not particularly too excited about (don't like butter): 1/4 cup of nut butter with 3/4 cup of apple and banana slices many thanksq
Thanks for the clarification there Pete. I'm not unaware of the 16 pages of sugar-SCIENCE that has happened on the other thread though Suffice to say I don't live off chocolate milkshake alone. I also do some exercise other than fingerboarding.I am merely suggesting, as thousands of athletes, professional and part-time, endurance and power based, have been saying for years - that chocolate milkshake makes a good post-workout recovery drink.And I don't know about you Fultonius, but I tend to do more than one set in a fingerboard session
It's cheap, convenient, readily available and has this magical, mystical carb:protein ratio (about which I can quote no scientific evidence).
