What are good sources of low glycemic carbs for US bodybuilders?

[Smokescreen]

I currently use oatmeal, brown rice, Barilla Multi-grain Plus pasta (with ALA omegas in it) and sweet potato.

Getting tired of sweet potatos taste to be honest with you. Anything else I can use?

Please list. Thank you.

Having high progesterone. Docs don't know where it keeps coming from. Then again, my docs are dumb fucks. Its not the HCG. Dropped the HCG a long time ago for a few weeks. And progesterone did not drop. Did notice that progesterone levels drop the lower my Test levels get. But I dont want to go below 1000. Even at 1000...progesterone stays at 2.5. That's over the 1.2 limit.

Read that progesterone also gets produced in the adrenals. But one my doc had ACTH levels tested out. And mine came out right smack in the middle. Dont know if that would be ANY indicator that my adrenals are over-producing progesterone.

Could it be all the sweet potatoes I eat? Been reading on the web that sweet potatos might either increase progesterone OR act like a progesterone.

I personally dont think sweet potatoes could have that much of a profound effect on progesterone bro

Well then why do I have such high progesterone levels? And funny how Ive been having high Progesterone last 4 years. And it just so happens Ive been eating sweet potato for the last 5 years.

I read that progesterone cream is derived from Yams. And sweet potato is not that much different than Yams.

And I've been to a few "women" websites. Sites where they talk about "their" hormones and PMS etc etc. Many women "claim" that they feel better when they eat sweet potatoes. And many replied saying..."because sweet potatoes are like yams and progesterone is derived from yams...hence why you feel better. because you are getting in more progesterone"

Some women even said that they get the same feelings they get from progesterone cream FROM eating sweet potatos for a few days!

Something to think about.

Bro, you're back is sick. You obviously know what you're doing. I diet on the weekdays. But on the weekends...I eat whatever I want. But in moderation of course.

What does YOUR diet consist of?

You're telling me that Oatmeal is your ONLY source of carbs for every meal you eat?

Chicken and Oatmel?
Steak and Oatmeal?
Tuna and Oatmeal? etc etc???

Red Skin potato? Aren't potatoes high glycemic. High in starch sugars?

red skin is better than regular white. i was just suggesting it as a possible replacement for sweat.

if you are going for the super low effect id suggest more oats and less of the others. i may have misunderstood your post.

i personally respond better to a mix of carbs i eat a lot of fruits, berries, veggies, oats, all varieties of potatos, ect.

your right about the sweat potatos but i think you may be more sensitive to the issue than most.

thanks for the back compliment.
