Sohan Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 Doesn't look like enough research has been done to warrant spending money on that product right now. Make it a priority to find a natural way to manage your stress and get more sleep, and you will strengthen your mind much more effectively. There really isn't a shortcut. Meditate, listen to soothing music, and cut out as many things as you can that cause you unneeded stress. But don't experiment with your body on an unproven pill.As far as your diet goes, again, no shortcuts. You need to eat lots of fruit and veggies, moderate your carb intake with minimal sugar, and get enough consistent protein if you want to keep lean for wrestling. Drink lots of water throughout the day and supplement with a multivitamin if necessary. With respect,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

lordtariel Posted October 12, 2006 Share Posted October 12, 2006 It depends on how you're cutting the weight. Are you exercising while you're trying to loose weight, or just modifing your diet?http://www.freedieting.com/tools/calorie_calculator.htm There's lots of calculators like this online. These tell you how much you need to eat to maintain your weight, to loose weight you'll need to consume less than that.

You need complex carbohydrate (starches) throughout the day, or you risk having low blood sugar, which can make you famished as well as deplete the glycogen in your muscles, which makes for lousy workouts. I eat complex carbs (I keep sugars low except for post-workout), protein, and fat in the right proportions in each meal every three hours during the day and then I don't eat within two hours of bedtime (unless I have had a very late workout, whereas I would need a post-workout meal for recovery).Don't cut your carbs if you want to be lean, strong, and fit.With respect,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."

Maddwraph Posted October 13, 2006 Author Share Posted October 13, 2006 ok, and before i go to sleep, drinking a protien shake with water is good to keep my muscles from staying strong right? complex carbs would include things in like pasta and rice right? and simple carbs which i can have at night are in fruit and salad?

I have always found it interrupts my sleep and I don't get the quality I need. Actually what makes me sleep like a baby is pasta and rice about two hours before bedtime. And as far as fruit and veggies go, the more the better, all day.With respect,Sohan "If I cannot become one of extraordinary accomplishment, I will not walk the earth."
