Ah, yes. Again we see the "skip the carbs, and eat lots of protein." This in spite of the fact that no accepted studies have ever proven any harm from eating complex carbohydrates. Quite the opposite. Much more than one gram of protein for every seven pounds of body weight either is converted to fat and stored as such or is converted to glucose because the person isn't eating enough carbohydrates. When that happens, there are no amino acids to not only build muscle, but the other things like antibodies, etc. can't be made by the body unless it breaks down one's muscle tissue to make them. You guys that ignore the facts better make sure you eat those proteins throughout the day to keep your blood sugar levels up. Don't be surprised if you keep getting heads cold and flu like symtoms. Yes, you can eat enough of them to do both jobs, but, unlike eating complex carbs, the body will not convert any extra protein to glycogen and store it for use later in the day. That and the fact that you best make sure you don't drift into protein poisoning. That kills. But the worst is this idea that soon we are going to see increased acceptance of testosterone and steriod use. This is absolutely nuts. You should see what the medical community has to say about this. In short, you are asking for all sorts of problems, some of them quite serious. Especially as you get older. Good luck. E
