Re: Thanks all :)

[Guest guest]

Everyone's different, that's for sure. I work out 5-7 days/week, for 60-90

minutes... both cardio (45-60 min) and weights (15-30 min) and ALWAYS work

out on an empty stomach. I find that if I workout after eating (even waiting

1-2 hrs) I feel yucky. And if I drink during a workout, I get side/stomach

cramps something fierce. I do take 1000mg of l-carnitine about an hour

before I workout & then eat a substantial amount of protein about 30 minutes

after the workout (either a protein shake with 28-30g protein or some meat

like leftover steak or chicken).

The days that I don't work out, I feel like a slug :-(
