I don't get this statement. Are you saying that on a 30% below TDEE diet it will take 3 days to go into starvation mode? Therefore it is necessary to include a high-carb day every 3 days? I actually do this, but I put my high-carb days on the same days I do squats and deads (tue and fri...

Thanks for the reply, Pintoca. I guess I didn't make my questions clear enough. I'm familiar enough with dieting to know the definitions of ketosis and neoglucogensis. And when I wrote "calorie deficit" I meant 15% to 30% reduction in my Total Daily Enery Expenditure (TDEE), not my BMR (I would...

OK, maybe some strange questions... I have read that "starvation mode" means your body is storing fat and burning muscle. Is this different from gluconeogenesis? How do you know when you're in starvation mode? Is it that painful, hungry feeling you get when you're really hungry? Or is it...

jkurz-- seriously? don't eat anything for 1 hr after cardio? is that because the body is still burning fat for an hour? won't the body need some amino acids at least? or would that spike insulin too much? also, 50g dextrose post-wo ok? how many grams of fat on a diet like this? is this...

audiophyle, how do you know it is off? did you have it tested? do you know how off it is? i just ordered the whey isolate, complex carbs (multidextrin) and dextrose. is there any products out there for these three items that are known to be accurately represented?

what do you mean mislabel shit!? hope you're not talking about the nutrition label. examples, please. which brings up another question.... how do we know that what is on the label of any protein or carb supp is accurate at all? It's not like it is regulated by the FDA, so it could be anything...

anyone order from supplementdirect.com? experiences? comments?

thanks, bros. any other suggestions? what are you perfect protein shake recipies for both cutting and bulking?

mmmm. psyllium husk... *drool* he he he seriously though, will that prevent an insulin spike or is it just to add a little fiber?

oh yeah, will adding in the EFA prevent the insulin spike that protienfiend was talking about?

how much of the UDO is good to mix with protein. say i wanted to make a 50g protein shake + ??g UDO...

thanks for all the great suggestions. i think i will try the cystal light (hope that's not gay) and also some fat/sugar free jello. forgive my ignorance, what are UDOs? While I'm cutting, I'm not sure a banana or even PB would be a good idea, but while bulking that's great.

yeah, water, of course. haven't tried the flavor-less whey isolate from supplementdirect.com yet, so that may be fine, but the vanilla isopure or the vanilla 100% whey tastes like shit with water. there must be something with artificial sweeteners/flavoring that i can mix with the protein?

i'm about to order a few lbs of whey isolate, multidextrin and dextrose from supplementdirect.com and was wondering what is good to mix it with? anyone have the recipe for those great tasting isopure rtd's? i don't want to mix with milk or any kind of fruit juice. is there something i can get...

lee, what is CKD? also, don't you mean some people can be kicked out of ketosis by chewing on some regular gum as opposed to sugar-free gum? or are there many carbs in even sugar-free gum?
