SHAKES
I am a low Glycemic girl. I don't do fruit. If I do it is only 1/4 to half a cup for those days my body craves it. However, we overeat sugar! I am particular about what enters my gut and how it ferments once it gets there. Learn your sugars.
Dosage and timing is key! It is about finding what feels better for you.
Trainers claim to eat carbs before your workout or in the morning so you can burn them all day. Body building claims make sure you have your balanced shake after your workout, so that you replenish your muscles.
Keto peeps say eat your carbs at night at the end of the day, so your body burns fat through ought the day. It gets confusing right?
Well truthfully I don't have the magic answer for you. I think it depends on your body, your workouts, your sleep cycle, and your stress.
Personally I like to wake up get some liquid carbs in me - I down a hydrate line made for workouts. It has small amount of carbs and sugar just so my muscles has some fuel during my workout. Post workout, I drink my shake (making sure that it is at least 12 hours since my dinner). 4 Hours later I have my shake for lunch, then 4 hours after that soup and salad for dinner!
To each it's own. I slow down with carbs, but need a small amount so I don't binge. I like carb it up on the weekends when I can relax, and then less carbs during the week while I am running around on the go at work and have to be quick on my feet. See what works for you! My way isn't everyone's way.
