No sir!
Genetically predisposed to high blood pressure. I try to avoid thermos.
The ideal mixture of Omega fatty acids?! You don't say!!I've been doing mine with nothing other than 2tbsp of Udos 369 mornings
BCAA's can kick you out of ketosis?
I didn't realize that. I have stayed in keto while using the BCAA's thus far, I guess I am burning them adequately during training.
No, it is just Alanine. Alanine is reductively animated to a pyruvate molecule, which is then carboxylated and the glyoclytic pathway begins. Alanine can be biosynthesized from leucine, isoleucine, and valine, however, particularly in times of hyperaminoacidemia.
Not to nitpick on your posts too much, but the vast majority of BCAA studies are done on empty stomachs and/or post 12-24h fasts, due to the fragility of testing.
Agree. But in a low carb or fasted environment, many aminos will be broken down in to TCA intermediates due to the lack of available substrates. Once that happens, they can undergo transaminations/deaminations to get to glucose. I really think we're saying the same thing in different words and misunderstanding each other.
A glucogenic amino acid [there are 13, including 5 which are both ketogenic and glucogenic] is an amino acid which can have its carbon skeleton removed to form intermediates in the Krebs/TCA Cycle [primarily pyruvate]. As I said previously:
Alanine is the only amino acid which converts directly to glucose through transanimation/deanimation in the liver.
Incorrect. A ketogenic diet is merely a state of chronic glucose depravation whereby the body positions fatty acids [triglycerides, to be more specific] as the primary oxidative substrate and the production of ketone bodies ensues - in fact, this same hydrolyzation occurs in transient fasted-state training due to the upregulation of certain fat metabolic proteins. There is a vast amount of research I have placed on this board to verify this.
Quite true, which is what I said previously. Alanine is the only amino which undergoes direct conversion.
timing as well as quantity. taking 5g of bcaas is quite different than 20g. I'm still not 100% sure on how anabolic using BCAAs is because although they do increase short term anabolism the studies i've read showed that they also increased oxidation, leading to no net gain. I think again the timing + quantity is what is key, i think its possible that the right amount of BCAAs could kick your body into a more anabolic state, but that you need other proteins there to maintain it.
Almost ALL of my training is done first thing fasted (breakfast after). I take my first thing in the morning supplements (IGF-2, Lipotrophin-PM, and OsteoSport), preworkout 80 min-pre-resistance session (RPM), and creatine 30 min-pre-resistance session (NeoVar Recomped). I only drink water during my training sessions. I personally don't notice any difference in fat loss etc. by training first thing; I just prefer it because it starts my day off. It's an individual preference thing IMO.
I'm growing to absolutely love training in the AM, fasted of course. Everything about it just seems right, from what I've read anyway.
Yea I'm kind of lost????? So what did they end at? To take bcaaz before fasted Cardio or not? I'm lookin for fat loss and just ordered bcaaz cause I was thinkin it would help my fasted Cardio and workout. I'm also doin keto And am a lil confused on what was said since I'm not very good on the whole science thing. Any help would be good thanks.
10mg Y-Hcl??
fasted workouts make you go into ketosis?
Find what works best for YOU, mate (it doesn't matter what anyone else says, since everyone responds DIFFERENTLY to everything). Since you want fat loss do what gives you the best results; this means experimenting with fasted and non-fasted cardio (I personally would recommend resistance training as opposed to cardio (or doing HIIT cardio, instead of long, slow cardio) for fat loss because it is MORE effective), etc. to find YOUR sweet spot!Yea I'm kind of lost?????

But what i've seen shows that AA oxidation also rises in that situation, somewhat to entirely negating the long term retention.
Interesting. How so?
Ah, you may have misunderstood me, as that is exactly what I was suggesting.I'm going to have to find the studies again. There was a comparison of both short term (1-3 hour) and longer term (3-24) nitrogen retention, and although BCAAs showed the highest retention short term and casein the least, it tended to reverse itself over the next few hours. I have to find that study again
ah I see. I guess as well its all about volume, as there is quite a difference in protein retention/oxidation between 5g of BCAAs/EAAs and 30g worth. I'm starting to really believe that a shortly preworkout to periworkout combo of roughly 20g casein, 10g whey isolate, 5g BCAAs/EAAs is probably optimal
if you take too much it will. how much is too much is much harder to quantify, i'd guess 5g is pretty safe, 10g maybe.
