In this article, like in many others but not all, scientific tone of voice in mixed up with highly advertising inflections. It is to be regretted.
Why not clearly separate both and offer either a non biased scientific information OR a subjective publicity?
We will see next week if the second part proves me wrong...and nothing is to be sold!

I always thought John would be...big. Looks like I was wrong.

The problem with this article, is that it takes a bunch of basic information and John tries to re-hash it into something scientific and sophisticated sounding.

Old known ideas he's trying to remake.


I'll sum it up

Post workout: Carbs/protein
During workout: Carb drink, protein, etc.
sleep: slow digesting etc. etc. etc.

Its so easy, 3 horribly worded statements summing up his large article.

John,
There's a post on the bodybuilding.com forums, and some people on there are recommending that everyone consumes oats as their postworkout carb source. I've posted responses that they should use a high glycemic, liquid carb source, but a couple people seem to be convincing the masses that oats are the perfect postworkout carb source, that you don't need high GI carbs after working out. I referenced this article you just wrote, but it would be more convincing if you would check out the post and reply. Here's the address:

not a correct summary. for example, note the following finding:

"If you eat too much protein with carbs, the insulin release may actually be lower."

I know I did not just sit here and read all that bull**** acting like you really had some new scientific info just to sell some shi*, thats fuc*ed up!I bet your PHD is mail courses mixed with some shi* you read in flex mag.
