There is no issue with the slowing of the absoprtion, no requirement to have water after training an certainly no requirement to use milk before bed.
Why do the yanks use chocolate milk PWO if milk is so slow digesting? Why is milk 'slow' when it is so insulinogenic? Just how much casein does 250ml of milk has to make it a slow protein?
Bottom line, it matters not and the consumption of whey is over hyped and provides one small part of anyones regime and the whole milk Vs water debate is like the wine or beer with a meal. They both taste good, both get you ****ed and are both enjoyed by many |
wrong
1. it's the fat in the milk that slows digestion not the casin
2. agree about whey protein it will be replaced by an amino mix (EAA) by most supp companies for PW nutrition over the next few years.
3. The calcium in the milk alkalizes the stomach and so sould not be drunk with meals, should be fine with protein, this also slows digestion.
4. Milk is insulinagenic due to it being hard to digest - the lactase enzyme that should be present in it has been eliminated in pasterization.
5. I agree milk too close to bed would be a bad idea but say 90 mins before would be helpful as insulin levels would be lowering.
6. Yes whey is not as quickly digested as most think the peak amino concentrarion in blood levels in 3-4 hours after consumption - so again EAA's make a better PWO shake. Though will taste like crap.
