Hi
I am reading heaps of info on supplements from stickeys on this site. Currently reading the article "John Berardi - bedtime stories
John Berardi - Bedtime Story
Anyway I just need some clarification, the end of the article says
"A Happy Ending
To summarize this little bedtime story:
About halfway through the night your body runs out of muscle-building fuel and leaves you in a catabolic state. To prevent this, it's a good idea to get some protein before bed.
The so-called "nighttime anti-catabolic protein formulas" hitting the market are overpriced, overhyped, and aren't even ideal for battling catabolism.
A better and more-affordable choice is plain old cottage cheese and/or a blend of proteins like those found in Low-Carb Grow! (Milk itself isn't a good choice however.) "
My question is straight forward, if I get a low carb protein powder, will this do the trick? I can't even buy cottage cheese at my local. If I get some, how much do I eat?
What sort of stuff can I put into a "shake" to make my own, I have been calling around trying to find Casein alone so I can mix up a blend, but I can't.
Would 2 egg whites, half scope of whey, half sciope of Casein and say some fruits for flavour do the trick? What about a bit strawberry topping to increase insulin levels also?
So many questions, I know.
Thank you.
Tom
