Common Questions and Answers about Carbohydrate loading training

Avatar m tn I have been overweight for some time and peaked at around 275. I am currently 250. My exercise routine consists of weight training and biking (stationary) for 20 miles 2-3 times a week. I have seen minor differences in my body, such as lost inches on the waist. But lately, it has been hard to lose the weight...I'm staying around 250. I want to focus primarily on losing the fat. I'm already pretty strong (bench 275) and don't really need to get stronger.
1266263 tn?1270153368 When you deplete your glycogen stores, as can happen during repeated days of hard training and a low carbohydrate diet, you feel overwhelmingly exhausted. Eating high carbohydrate foods like cereal, pancakes, bread, fruit, vegetables, potato, pasta on a daily basis can help you train harder and compete better. All the best.
Avatar f tn However, after strength training (as opposed to cardio training), your body tends to need more rapidly absorbed nutrients and a higher glycemic (fast released, starchy) carbohydrate. Another slight difference between interval cardio and strength training days is the timing of your meal. After cardio, you want to wait 45-60 minutes, and then consume a high-quality protein (whole food) and vegetable-type carbohydrate.
Avatar m tn Hard training breaks you down and makes you weaker. It is rest that makes you stronger. Physiologic improvement in sports only occurs during the rest period following hard training. This adaptation is in response to maximal loading of the cardiovascular and muscular systems and is accomplished by improving efficiency of the heart, increasing capillaries in the muscles, and increasing glycogen stores and mitochondrial enzyme systems within the muscle cells.

Avatar n tn I do a lot of weight and resistance training and combine this with aerobic training (cardio), my aim is to get toned up and lean (i play scrum-half) for the new season, i seem to have a problem with burning off the fat, in order for the muslce to be seen and my coaches to be able to see an improvement, (abdomen being the main culprit). Basicall what im asking is if i dont produce insulin does this mean i dont produce glucagon and so cant burn off the fat around my body?
Avatar n tn Circuit training burns 30 percent more calories than typical weight training workouts. You can easily do circuit training workouts at home or at the gym on your own. Workouts last 30 to 45 minutes each and use either dumbbells, resistance bands or just your own body weight as a resistance. You're doing a series of exercises one after another in a circuit without taking any breaks in between the exercises.
Avatar f tn I have been formally diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and possible Carbohydrate Intolerance. My issue is when I eat a load of carbs, it hits up to 3 days later and I can't hardly get out of bed and am weak most of the day. Everything I read about Carb Intolerance says that fatigue usually hits within the first few hours. Has anyone else experienced this? Carb crash, a day or days after the carbs are eaten?
Avatar m tn I even needed to eat half way the training to get through the training - even if I eat quite a heavy carbohydrate rich meal 1,5 hour before training. Back than I eat a lot of whole grain wheat and what was considered mainstream healthy diet (low fat low sodium, dairy etc). I started a low-carbohydrate, low grain diet which got rid of these symptoms and I finally could sleep through the night again. Problem is that 5 years later the carbohydrate intolerance is bigger than ever.
Avatar n tn If you are training regularly, you will probably need between one half and one whole ounce of water (or other fluids) for each pound of body weight per day.To determine your baseline range for water requirement, use the following formula: Low end of range= Body weight (lbs) x 0.5 = (ounces of fluid/day) High end of range=Body weight (lbs) x 1 = (ounces of fluid/day) For example, if you weigh 150 pounds, your approximate water requirement will be between 75 and 150 ounces each day.
Avatar m tn What you eat after Peak 8 training does matter It’s recommended that you do not eat sugar or carbohydrate for 2 hours after the Peak 8 exercise because these foods can impact the release of the growth hormone in the body.

Avatar n tn I think Gymdandee meant interval training, not intravel training. But be careful with this training, if you're not very athletic it can be stressful on the body. Look, anything you do that makes you move will help you lose weight if you also have a daily diet that works for you. You can eat your way past any gains from exercise, and you can exercise yourself into boredom and injury, so do what you like to do, experiment, and just have fun doing something rather than sitting around.
Avatar n tn etc As far as diet and training is concerned. Cardiovascular is great especially when an individual is weight training. Weight training is the best was to change the way the body metabolites food and burns fat. Powerlifters are not the same animal. There goal is to lift as much as possible. Thus they work the body in a completely different way. They welcome water weight as it aids in strength. As far as how much carbs one needs on a diet. It all depends on how active an individual is.
