Susan W Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 If those are the only two ingredients, then I think it's fine. Apple cider should just be unfiltered, unsweetened apple juice. What will you do with it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notkevinmyrick Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 Just use it as a snack with celery or something before a workout or in between meals when I'm hungry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notkevinmyrick Posted September 11, 2012 Author Share Posted September 11, 2012 But isn't there concentrated sugars in apple juice? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan W Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 But isn't there concentrated sugars in apple juice? Well, fruit juices are an allowed sweetener, so that one's okay. A little confusing isn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, it's so easy to make unintentional mistakes. That's why I keep my food super simple. Now, I could be wrong, but aren't you supposed to eat easily digested protein and fat before a workout and dense carbs after? I rarely snack...pretty much have finally figured out how much I need to eat for all 3 meals. Sometimes, I eat a small amount of sweet potato after the gym.

Moderators Tom Denham Posted September 11, 2012 Moderators Share Posted September 11, 2012 The ideal is protein and fat before a workout and lean protein and maybe a carb-rich veggie like sweet potato afterwards. Our muscles are especially hungry for protein for a few minutes after working out, so you want to eat lean protein and little fat in a post-workout meal so that it digests quickly. If you are lean, you may need carbs to keep your energy up. If you are "not-lean" and want to lose weight, you can skip the carbs in the post-workout meal and just accept having a little less energy.

LynneR Posted February 11, 2013 Share Posted February 11, 2013 I workout at 6am and find it hard to eat 1st thing in the morning. Any suggestions for a quick (ideally that I could eat on the way to the gym) pre-workout meal? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fenderbender Posted February 12, 2013 Share Posted February 12, 2013 Just use it as a snack with celery or something before a workout or in between meals when I'm hungry I found that I needed to avoid snacks in between meals to get the most benefit out of the program If you are truly hungry between meals you should simply trying to eat more at your meals, or add a fourth compleat template meal. this is how you get hormones to fall into line. I used to have to eat every 2 1/2 to 3 hours or go mental, watching the clock until I could eat again. Now I can go 5-6 hours or more without the thought of food for the first time in my life!!!
