A few Q's from a newbie

[LDawg]

I'm gonna be starting one of crums diets (haven't decided which one) next week, but I have a few questions before I start.

1. What do you mix with your protein shake? Water? Milk? If you use milk, which kind? whole? 2%? 1%? Nonfat? skim?

2. What kind of whey protein, protein bars, flaxseed oil, glutamine, dextrose, MM, MV do you guys use and where do you get them from?

3. What does glutamine and dextrose do? Is it essential for a cutting diet?

4. Whenever I see rice in the diet, I always see brown rice. Is it preferred over white rice? Why?

5. Is tea by itself ok to drink? Let's say in the evening before bedtime?

You can answer any/all questions that you feel like.

TIA,
LDawg

1-milk is bad when cutting-use h20
2-if you must use protein bars, look at the carb and sugar counts-that is the key, but they are not needed if you eat right
3-glutamine is for recovery and is GREAT
4-brown rice is lower on the glycemic index which means it causes a low insulin response
5-try to avoid tea

Hey DDC, just wondering why tea should be avoided. Did you mean like sugar tea etc

 

[diamonddiceclay]

if there is no sugar or carbs, it may be good

DDC, what supplements do you use, what brand are they, and where do you get them?!?!
