Type 1 And Muscle Building
Thursday, April 26th, 2007Article excerpt from Ask Dr. Vernon:
“To do the best job you should work closely with a physician knowledgeable in low carb nutritional protocols, so my advice is general and informational. One needs to take in 1.2 to 1.5 grams protein per kg of ideal body weight (mass). That’s daily. After that, leafy greens and low glycemic vegetables with each meal.
You need to eat the protein, fat and fiber together. Fat and Fiber slow digestion and cause steady nutrient release. Eat until full-no calorie limit. Some experts believe that eating some carbs with protein after exercise helps build muscle.”
