Do you think eating a lot of captain crunch with 2% milk would make a good back-load?My only concern is that cereal never uses glucose/dextrose.The box says "sugar" which i think translates to sucrose, but i'm not certain on that.
Yeah, its table sugar. I don't think its a huge deal though. You will retain a lot of water the next day, but that is on my sample of n = 1. I stick to lower sugar cerals like Rice krispies. And bagels. A metric ton of bagels.
If you wan to do cereals the DH certified(favorite) cereal seems to be Rice Chex, no fructose and gluten.
What about grape nuts? Its main ingredient is whole grain wheat flour,only 5grams sugars and 48grams carbs per 1/2 cup serving. Are the ca ???rbs going to keep insulin levels high pwo later in the evening b4 bed?
Whole grain = not good for CNS/CBL
I eat cornflakes and just sprinkle em with dextrose. Before i started backloading, it must have been like 15 years since last time i dared to eat cornflakes. Cornflakes are good.
I went to the store last night to get some corn flakes, but I ended up getting rice crispies because they have less fiber.
Fruity pebbles are also a pretty good option. Gluten free and also taste fantartic
I love fruity pebbles but they don't have them in the UK. My parents just shipped me a box of Captain Crunch, which I've got to try and make last a few weeks.
Bumping this thread because I have a quick question and don't think it deserves its own thread.What about Vector cereal? I've been eating it for years just because I figured it was the 'healthiest' one and a bit of protein in it with the nuts, but does it work for this diet? High GI?I don't mind switching to Chex Mix
Not sure why I never read the actual ingredients, instead of the macros. Duh.Definitely not good for this diet."Vector cereal is a wheat and rice-based flake and granola cereal. Its ingredients include rice, whole wheat, soy protein, rolled, oats, vegetable oil, salt, honey, barley malt flavoring, cinnamon, along with added vitamins and minerals."And just to be clear, oatmeal should be avoided as well?
Yeah, that's not so good at all.And RB, it depends, sometimes processed stuff is better.I look and feel awesome every time I backload with oreos and ice cream, but only about half the time if I try to just do rice or potatoes.
Is Rice Chex really good for this diet?The first ingredient is whole grain rice. I thought we wanted to avoid whole grain stuff?http://generalmills.com/ColorBoxImage.aspx?ImageId={D1096771-4BF8-48C6-A169-F3663644CBD7}
