Depends upon a lot of factors, the most important two being your body type (do you collect body fat very easily) and the second being the kind of cut you are doing.
I have seen guys who do Velocity Diet style cuts do extremely well using high GI post workout carbs. Other guys do well aiming for the usual 40/40/20 splits and don't use the post workout carbs.
If you're an ectomorph, I think shutting off cortisol's going to be pretty important (post workout spike: yes) but much less so for endo or meso guys.
A highly, HIGHLY debatable point of view... -

With the 7-oxo/lxt I'm not so sure that cortisol is a big problem. But I don't want to do anything or not do anything that I'll regret three months from now.... - 01-18-2006, 12:44 PM
I'd say stick with low GI carbs just to be on the safe side...they're still going to replenish your glycogen stores but without the potential for fat gain that a higher GI carb will.

Call me crazy, but unless you've just finished a 2-hour workout, you should stick to protein only after a workout, followed by a low-glycemic, whole food meal about an hour later (sweet potato, oatmeal, etc.). This is assuming you want to lose bodyfat, of course.

That is, of course, my opinion only. If you have great difficulty shedding pounds and/or more of an endo, the protein only plan seems to work according to some people. - 01-20-2006, 10:13 PM
