Thanks. Ok I will remember to take proteins drinks after the sweet drink I take after my work outs. Usually after my workouts I like to blend 2-3 apples with ginger and the inside of the aleo! But now that I saw your video I will possibly add some greens to it.

Most protein shakes say 60/40 carbs vs protein ratio. What about fats (IE coconut “milk”). Should they be avoided? Ive been doing banana,whey,frozen mango,coconut drink from wholefoods,and spirulina. Should this be refined?

hi yuri
thanks for your info,i too have started having a smoothie after my workout, and notice i have lots more energy through out the day, and my toning looks much better, i am on a alkalizing eating plan, but my test shows i am still quit acid, so my herbalist is sending me for a blood test, just incase there is something my blood isnt excepting, dont know if you can tell me anything on the subject, have been on this plan now for about 11/2 years, also about spiralina is not all that good for you, there have been side effects such as diarea, dizziness, other problems, also on the subject of hemp seeds, the health food shop laughed at me and told me , didnt i know hemp is ilegal substance, so where do you perchase it from, joanne

Good to hear from you buddy. You bring up a good point. In my experience, I haven’t had any issues with post-workout fiber. Worse case scenario you can juice everything to get the simple sugars right into the muscles. However, even if you’re using fruit (any plant-based food for that matter) you’re going to have fiber – unless it’s juiced. Not a big deal though.

Hey Yuri, You are promoting lots of greens post-workout shake, which are high in fiber. I’m under the impression that this will slow the absorption of simple carbs after you workout; thus slowing your bodies ablility to switch back to an anabolic state? Also would greens be better suited for a pre-workout drink lets say about an 1 hour before the workout..

I would recommend getting in some simple sugars just as you would after your workout. You’ll have more energy to train well.

I don’t see why not – it’s good nutrition.

Getting in simple sugars right after a work out is great, as I tend to get lightheaded after exercise. Thanks for the tip. Speaking of lightheadedness, would it be best for me to eat something prior to working out (if so, what) or is working out on an empty stomach first thing in the morning still best?
