David, could you please give just a rough outline of your pre/post workout nutrition program that you personally follow. I read you nutrition article from a few months ago but still am waiting for that out line that you said you were going to do next.[/quote]
DL, when I started to research the specific info the follow up article, I slowly realized what a monumental task this was going to be.
Now, with my web site up and ready for launch, I’ll be writing up the article, and GREATLY expanding it as an e-book. I see how much confusion lies in this field and hope to alleviate much of that.
Currently I have Surge before and after the gym, with my CEE in a separate drink, and my beta alanine in the Post-WO Surge drink
Most of the big brand dressings I find are soybean oil. What is the low down on this? My understanding is that the estrogenic isoflavones are only found in soy proteins and not fat. Is this true?

Haven’t you aksed that a couple of times before? LOL
You’re right, from what I’ve read the phytoestrogens seem confined to the proteins.
Good call.
I have a friend who has lost 30 pounds and before that he lost 40 pounds on his own. He is 250 and he wants to lose inches. He is at a plateau. His diet still needs some work but he is eating better than all the people on campus but he is frustrated. His especially for some reason has trouble losing the spare tire around is mid-section. How do you get rid of this?
How much will he need to lose until the inches come off?

GL, I PM’d you too.
To lose fat around your midsection, do lots of sit ups. Side bends will get rid of love handles. Don’t use any weight because you don’t want to get big and bulky like one of them bodybuilders. Also, do high reps because they rip you up and burn fat.

GL, first off, congratulate your friend for me! That’s a great accomplishment!
Now for my serious answer (although you’ll probably prefer my not-so-serious answer).
The area of his body at which he’s losing fat is genetically determined. For guys, it’s not surprising to hear that his midsection is the problem.
Most importantly, get his diet and exercise in order. If he’s still not losing at that point, then you’ll want to have him get blood tests to see where he is, metabolically speaking.
Also remind him that much of his “gut fat” could be loose skin that comes from having lost 70lbs.
Again, based on the genetics issue, there’s no way to predict how much weight he needs to lose in order to drop belly fat.
Ok, come to think of it he has been doing lots of lower rep training because he is strong as an ox. He doesn’t do much non-weight ab work either at higher reps so I’ll mention that to him and see what will happen. LOLOL
For a funny answer you get a funny response. You can do it! Yeah

dave, how much does protein slow down the digestion of high GI carbs?[/quote]
Dnutz, I’m guessing that the ultimate concern is insulin and low blood sugar. Knowing the ultimate goal of the info will help me make it more clear.
Protein can have different effects based on the type. For example, casein should slow down all digestion a little, resulting in a lower GI for the combined food.
On the other hand, the protein in Surge won’t really affect digestion BUT will actually enhanceinsulin release caused by the high GI carbs. It was so-designed to maximize anabolism post exercise.
To give a quick answer: most proteins should decrease digestion rate, but not all.
