For my female athletes. regarding Jeff's comment: -if you are trying to lose fat, if you carb load after workout it interferes with normal fat oxidation post workout, so its better if you limit the carbs you ingest after the workout if you are trying to get the most muscle-building and simultaneously fat building effort. - -. women have two hormone phases each month: high and low. High estrogen makes us spare glycogen (stored glucose/carbohydrate your body uses for fuel, especially during high-intensity exercise) and increases the amount of fat we use for fuel. That slows our recovery time because our bodies need available carbs not only to prevent us from eating into our muscles during exercise, but also to help us recover quickly when we're done. Although we mobilize more fat during exercise, the opposite is true during recovery. At this point women tend to burn an increased proportion of carbs, whereas men burn and increased proportion of fat. - - excerpt from ROAR by Stacy T Sims, PhD

If you are trying to gain muscle, a high carb meal after your workout can be beneficial. Yes, you will drastically decrease the amount of growth hormone, but you will drastically increase insulin which is a much more anabolic hormone than growth hormone. Insulin is indiscriminately anabolic meaning it can wither increase muscle or fat depending upon timing, but post workout when your muscles are primed for nutrient absorption, insulin will do your muscles a great amount of good.
I would be interested to find out which method is most effective for gaining muscle, though. A short surge of insulin or a long lasting spike in GH.

I've been following your videos and wanted to tell you that I am very grateful for your candidness and honesty. Your advice has taken my home and gym workouts to the next level. I'm going to continue to follow you and am considering signing up for your Athlean 0 workout regiment as well.
My fav topics you have covered:
-what supplements should and should not have. what works and what is crap.
-muscle control and purposeful muscle contractions during workout (how tos and just general principle teaching.
Good stuff and thank you!

I like to mix my preworkouts with about 80% water 20% cranberry juice. I find the bitterness of cranberry balances out with the tartness of most preworkouts well and is also a healthier juice with antioxidants.
For postworkouts and overnight casein I use 2% milk, but usually add some water to it to thin it out (50/75% of 2% milk to 25/50% water) I find whey protein to be too watery and taste bad with water but is too think to mix with straight whole milk. Casein especially is really thick and i dilute it a bit more.

Hey Jeff, love your videos. you mentioned that high carb consumption post-workout isn't good because of high insulin sensitivity and it will reduce growth hormone secretion. I used to only take a protein shake post until I read if you don't consume carbs post lift you will go catabolic. what I read said this happens because you're not replacing the carbs you just burned during your lift and your body consumes your freshly torn muscle for fuel. any truth to this?

I highly respect Jeff's knowledge, he's one of the best no doubt about it and with college degree to back anything he says. BUT: supplements are CRAP. Don't take them, you are wasting your precious money for maybe a 2 or 3 % edge! Eat whole foods instead it's much, much, much better! You need nothing, not even vitamins! Everything you need, and even more, is available in nutrition.

I am confused and could use some advice. I only drink my pre/post shakes with water. As far as the post workout shakes are concerned, how long should I wait to have my post workout shake if I am adding water? I don't know if it's correct to wait an hour or longer, post workout, to have a protein shake. TYIA for your assistance.

JEFF first of all, i absolutely love watching and learning from your videos. For quite some time there has been a lot of lot of talk about studies saying how sucralose which is present in almost all protein supplements(including yours) and just wanted to know your opinion on that in one of your upcoming videos

I know this video is a bit old, and you maybe won't answer this, but I'm really confused, I've always taken Whey and Dextrose post workout, I'm an ectomorph looking to build muscle. But in this video you say carbs slow down protein digestion and will slow muscle building. What should I do?

You forgot about unsweetened almond milk. Also, your insulin stores are depleted after a workout so I thought it was best to consume simple carbohydrates post workout? (with protein of course)
A topic you might consider: simple & complex carbs, when and when not to eat them.
