Chili Oil ??? LETS CREATE A FUNCTIONAL FOOD.
Hey Womanthrower,
Interesting question. Chili oil is normally made by soaking hot chili peppers in oil for several days to pick up the flavor and spicey heat of the oil.
Street Smart Suggestion- hot peppers are a great metobolic booster. A large quantity of Cheyenne pepers can increase your metabolism by over 200 calories per day. They are always part of my contest prep. If you like "hot" foods create your own chili oil from a good cold pressed monounsaturated oil (macadamia or extra virgin olive). Use this as part of your daily allowable fat portion. Cardio in a spoon!!!!

When I'm on a strict diet, I will only eat simple sugars/fast digesting carbs twice through out the day, those times being Morning and Post Workout, so I figured since I spike my insulin the highest at those times, taking my CrM would be the best Morning and Post.

Hey Ron, few amino acid questions:
1. Is there a maximum amount of Leucine that one should take in a day?
2. Would it be worth while to add a couple an extra gram or two to shakes throughout the day or just time it around pre/during/post excercise?
3. Do you know if any companies sell straight up 4-hydroxyisoleucine?
Much thanks.

Simple sugars on a Diet??
Forget about simple sugars on a STRICT diet. Its counterproductive. If your carbs are otherwise low, you may have a moderately small portion of white rice (refined carbohydrate) post workout. Thats all the insulin spike you need. I don't know what self-proclaimed expert said you need an insulin spike first thing in the morning. I've seen this crap in Flex magazine several times. It is not necessary for off-season bulking or certainly not on a fat loss diet. Off-season, Ezikiel bread or oatmeal is a far better part of breakfast than sugar water, maltidextrose or the like.
For the record, I diet on low carbs when I'm trying to cut up (150 (high) to 75 grams (low)).

HMB thumbs up or down
HMB- compared to Anavar in Muscle Media 2000. A lot of hype about it in the mid 90s. In reality, there are no consistant studies about the effectiveness of HMB. Some say it prevents muscle breakdown during dieting. I'm not a big fan of that line of reasoning. If something is not strong enough to help build you up in times of plentiful calories, you can bet it isn't strong enough to help you keep mass on the way down.
Save your money. Buy a good multivitamin/mineral instead and take care of your baseline nutrition.
I am amazed how many bodybuilders don't use a multi.
If you are on this thread, let me know if you use a multi: why or why not; and what brand.

I've used a multi for years. I really like Beverly's Super Pak.

Hey Ron,
Care to give us a little overview on how and why fat intake can help with muscle growth? I know Dave talks about this sometimes, and I was curious

Ron-
Quick question about fat. What would you suggest in a bedtime shake? I've been using flax oil for years, but I know you're not a fan of it. I use macadamia nut oil during the day with any shakes I have. Should I use that or would a couple TB of natural peanut butter be okay?
Thanks!Weak is a state of mind.
