TAURUS, please just back up your statement that it's bad to take in protein as soon as you awaken. Here's a few PhD's. I'm sure they don't have any protein ties because their article goes on and on about other supplements/nutrition. Listen, by the way, I wasn't kidding about my gains since this addition came into my plan. Can't argue with results, or maybe YOU can :eek:
Here's a few references to titilate your brain...
Steve Stiefel, PhD
Jim Stoppani, PhD
Here's one of my specific articles for you:
"Take in a whey protein shake immediately after awakening. You have been sleeping for as many as 8 hours, so you have not been providing your body with aminos for muscle building, muscle maintenence, and other processes. Although sleep allows your body to grow and recover, it leads to a catabolic state in which your body breaks down muscle mass to get the necessary aminos for conversion into energy....blah, blah, blah...Mix whey with water for faster absorbtion. Avoid consuming fats, complex carbs, and fiber as these will slow down digestion and absorbtion of protein, working against your goals."
I'm still waiting on Parrillo and his
20 years experience
Stay tuned for more and more specific examples further backing my (and everyone else's) claims for improvement
