Title: raw carbs for performance athlete
Post by: political atheist on May 22, 2016, 06:20:11 pm
im a speed-power track and field athlete, i do the decathlon, lots of sprints, plyometrics(jumps), medicine ball throws and other throws, weight lifting...

i love oats... I ate it back in 2010, but no grains or cereals since then...but some claim that ALL grains and cereals are GMO and loaded with glyphosates, thats why i stopped eating them.

im struggling to eat enough carbs from tubers(sweet ptoato, potato)... i need anywhere from 350- 800g of carbs per day

do you eat grains/cereals/legumes?

what should I eat during long workouts to sustain energy/focus/recovery.. in the past i used to mix dextrose/maltodextrine with whey protein powder and drink that during training and after training... but dextrose and maltodextrine is extracted from corn/gmo....

should i drink raw milk mixed with raw honey during and after training?

what about dried fruits?

I'm wondering where to get enough carbs as well. Please tell me if you find something that works. So far I haven't found anything that works like grains did.

i absolutely loved oats mixed with raisins, honey, cinnamon, cacao, whey protein powder, peanut butter, mixed berries... huge bowl(i.e. 100- 200g of rolled oats) for breakfast

white rice or quinoa or amaranth for dinner/lunch

good ol'days

And what is pumpkin made of? I thought it was primarily carbs! . Like a little dilutted potato. Ior it is more like a cucumber?

When i try to put on weight,i always end up suffering cause of high blood sugar and related problems to that. So after some days of fattening.. I loose all that weight in a couple of days.

If i compare burning fat to burning sugar. I don't want to burn sugar anymore. But how to put on weight without sugar/starches?

Avocado and goat milk are pretty good for that. You should supplement with magnesium if you use goat milk.

so anybody from this forum eats oats, quinoa, amaranth...

some people say that pretty much ALL grains and pseudo-grains are treated with harmful chemicals and also they are all genetically modified... is this true?

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE OATS AND QUINOA.. did not eat ANY grains since 2012.... im afraid trying eating them again...

i found a company which sells oats from ukraine.. they claim no treatment and no gmo

Raw, as in "sprouted" until the seed swells and begins germinating, but no roots or shoots? I tried this a few years ago with rice. For me, the result was inflammation (felt in my joints). Same thing happens when I tried fermented-cooked and sprouted-cooked rice. I don't know if it was the insulin release, the blood-sugar rise, or something in the grain itself.

So, I'd say: try some well-grown grains for a few days. Pay attention to gluten levels of the particular grain and try various preparation methods, especially overnight sprouting and fermentation.

carbs give a quick boost followed by a crash, raw fat is the best energy source once your body converts to burning it. Raw eggs give a good energy boost.  Heres the best drink for sports from aajonus, you can  do 5 hours of sports with just a quart of this and not get tired.

3 cups of at least 2 of the follow foods:
cucumber
tomato
watermelon
raw milk and/or fresh raw liquid whey.

Cucumber, watermelon and tomato are to be pureed not juiced, the whey is liquid byproduct of making cheese, milk is whole raw milk. You may have any combination of those to equal 3 cups.
Remainder of the ingredients are:
1 T. raw apple cider vinegar
2 T. lime juice
2 tsp.lemon juice
2 T. coconut cream
2 T. dairy cream
2-3 eggs
1-2 T. Unheated honey (optional).

That makes about 1 quart when all ingredients are blended together. Sip throughout day for hydration.
