When you refer to cheating is it just one snack every few days or is it a whole meal once a week?
Would you count fruit as cheating in this diet? I love them fruit smothies, The Magic Bullet rocks.He who does not strike first is the first stricken.

Apples have a low Glycimic Index rating...are they ok?
how about breads made with low GI flours such as pumpernickle, rye and brown rice flour?He who does not strike first is the first stricken.

Also, remember about timing of your carbs and when you will want to eat the low GI vs. the high GI foods.
And yes, apples have a low glycemic index as well as any berry. Melon fruits are high and citrus fruits are mid to high.Comment

I tried the Bread made from brown rice flour. It was good, I ate sandwhiches every day and still lost a lot of weight. I think I will stick with it. Althought at $6 a loaf I might start making my own. That way I can use splenda in it instead of honey, and flax oil instead of soya oil.He who does not strike first is the first stricken.

I just learned that sour dough bread has less impact on the blood glucose levels than whole wheat. Something to do with the fermentation slowing down the carb uptake simular to the way protein can slow it down, not really sure though, I'm still looking into that.He who does not strike first is the first stricken.

No, not really, it all truly depends on your RMR, but for cutting thats about right....now you have to take in consideration that when you cut your bound to sacrafice a little muscle this is pretty unavoidable, but if your calories are too low then you can sacrafice lots of muscle. Thats why diets are sooooo important.Comment

So speaking specifically of PWO nutrition. I understand the protein portion of it and kinda the dextrose portion. I have dextrose powder so I know I can take it that way but is their specific foods it can be found in? I heard gatorade was a good source of dextrose but I am not sure how experiance the source was that told me that? I am unsure of what carbs contain maltodexrin? Can you explain and give me some diet options on how I can get my proper mix of dextrose and maltodexrin pwo? Thank YouComment
