What are your stats? Hard to comment without them.. Also, why are you trying to bulk on a low carb diet? Doesn't make sense to me?...

 

[Warblade]

Dates and Bananas blended in water? Why don't you just eat them? What's the rationale behind this?

I'm 5'11, 155lbs and 8% BF. The whole idea of my low carb bulking is based on an idea by Dr Mauro DiPasquale, but this is a modified version of it with 120g carbs/day.

I'll be working out 5x/week mon-fri, rest on sat/sun.

Dates and Bananas blended in water? Why don't you just eat them? What's the rationale behind this?

I could just eat them whole, but the idea for blending them is that they're supposed to serve as a second insulin spike 20 mins, and 35 mins after first ingestion of the creatine, to make the absorption of the creatine better, this idea was cited in a recent creatine study.

Do you have a link to the study (assuming its online)? I don't see how blending it makes it any different. Is it because you can just make it go down faster? Or maybe its pre broken down?

 

[dr_zane]

Liquid food is easier to digest as the liquid passes easily through the osophagus (spelling?) then does not have to be ground up much by the stomach. The liquid is and digested much faster than solid food and its products assimilated much quicker.

I think I understand the use of a blender.

It makes much more sense this way becasue than the body doesn't have to use energy to break it down either. And it also helps it to absorb faster.

I so think that you need more carbs though. I am starting my bulking diet in the next couple of weeks. I am on a low carb diet right now so I am adding maybe 100-150g a week until I get to around 400g a day. Gonna take 2-3 weeks since I am <50g a day right now.

I am gonna be doing a slow bulk though since I worked so hard to get rid of the fat. Atleast through the summer and than I will start a hard bulk.

I have about the same stats as you , but I'm 5'10" 160 and about 11% BF. Very little LBM since I wasnt' working out seriously before I started dieting.

not to flame, what the fuck with all the shakes! your telling me you take around 6 shakes a day? it looks as if your meals are based around shakes. someone must of really lied to you and told you you need that much protein from shakes. Bro, you are to never use shakes as a meal. especially when bulking!!!! you should be eating 6 or 7 solid meals a day PLUS shakes in between. out of your 455 grams of pro a day, 340 of them are from shakes. so basically you only really take in 115 grams of protein a day that you can really trust, because first of all nobody can sit there and tell me that protein shake labels tell the 100 % truth. im sorry to be a dick here, but your mass building diet is shit. you shouldnt be advising other people who need help, if all you know is what you read. do me a favor and try eating 455 grams of pro from real food and your body will pack on mass 100 times faster than these bullshit shakes your having. NEVER FORGET....SHAKES ARE SUPPLEMENTS, AND SHOULD ONLY BE USED AS THAT. NOT AS MEALS.
