I didn't say a LOT of carbs, or a lot of protein, the point was to start replenishing your glycogen
stores as soon as possible.

I learned it in a seminar put on by a well respected sports med doc who specializes in performance
nutrition, but I had already heard about this theory, I think in one of Ed burke's book. I didn't
invent it myself, so I don't feel the need to provide you with evidence.

Yes, yogurt works well for me too, or chocolate milk; and I DID say "approximately" 4:1. No need to
split hairs.

If that works for you, great. The Gatorade probably helps; without it, you would be bonking (or I
would) by the time one hour rolled around.

Excellent. Why didn't you say so? Sounds like we agree, so I don't know why you are arguing. I was
never trying to dis your post in the first place, just clarifying, so Heather wouldn't think she
should wait 2 hours to start eating.

WTF? YOU said that, not me. I can eat when I get home b/c I am cooled down by then, but I already
said that. Basically, I do pretty much what you do, except I have chocolate milk or Endurox instead
of Gatorade. It works for me, trust me.
