Hi. I started CBL a week ago and, though I read through the book several times, I was wondering whether I should ditch the slow digesting carbs (fibrous veggies and such) after 6 PM on non-training days. By the way, I train in the morning fasted, so by a NON training day, I'm referring to the night before a morning when I won't train. I know that the slow digesting vegetables are not desirable on training nights because they'll get in the way of the high glycemic carbs we're trying to slam and keep insulin raised for a long time, preventing HGH release, etc. But on a NON training day, should they continue to be excluded at night in order to release HGH during sleep then too?
One of my “staple meals” on CN is a veggie footlong LOADED with all the veggies they offer. Is that going to have a big enough effect to negate the spike from the white bread?
On non-training days (when you are ULC) the only requirement, aside from minor tweaks, is that you must keep it under 30 g of carbs. So getting 20 g of carbs from broccoli is fine. Eating oatmeal and brown rice is not.
That it won't destroy your ULC day if you have a bit of it.
I would say it's likely fine if you can keep it under 30 g. Though, that is not something I would recommend.
If you're able to eat oatmeal and keep the carb count at 12g per 100g… you have no taste buds! 😛I like oatmeal.. mixed with milk, cinnamon, vanilla, brown sugar and/or maple syrup. But alas, me thinks that would be more than 30g carbs, ha :'(
I just have no idea why you eat oatmeal, bread, fruit, (any grains or high usable carb food) at all during ULC days. There are so many variations of foods to eat other than this; and once a week you can have some bread, some quick oats, some bananas, and every carb filled food you want. It just seems odd to me to implement these foods on days when the goal is to be eating fat and protein. Just my opinion, but it seems like its splitting hairs.

I don't get it either. Oatmeal is disgusting. I came across some decent recipes when I ate it all the time when I was on the traditional bodybuilding diet, but I will never eat that crap again, unless it's in the form of a cookie.
