When I'm craving a salty snack, I eat some BAKED Cheetos. There are close to tasting like the real thing. They may not be the healthiest snack out there, but it is better than eating potato chips, pork skins, or some other junk!...http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlThu, 14 Feb 2008 15:23:52 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlQuoting: fauxvirgoRice cakes have one of the highest glycemic indexes ever recorded. I didn't know this. No more rice cakes for dog!http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlThu, 14 Feb 2008 15:22:07 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlI don't snack on carbs too much. Period. Good GI or Bad GI, it just doesn't work for me personally, so no bread for me. I generally grab some cold meats, seafood and dairy stuff. Some people find that bad news, but it works for me.http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlThu, 14 Feb 2008 15:12:23 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlI agree with Angie! I like the light/multi-grain bread w/ PB - yum. Actually, i'm about to have some http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlThu, 14 Feb 2008 15:08:04 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlRice cakes have one of the highest glycemic indexes ever recorded. It's WORSE than pure sugar. I wouldn't touch that stuff with a 10 foot pole. It definitely shouldn't be a primary, secondary, or even tertiary source of carbohydrates.http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlThu, 14 Feb 2008 15:05:47 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlYep I am a crunchy salty carb lover too lol...chips used to always be my downfall...still are - if they are there in front of me OMG it is such a temptation..my hubby loves them too, and I hate when he buys them and leaves them lying around I KNOW THEY ARE IN THE HOUSE which almost sends me into a frenzy haha...so I say to him, eat them when I am not around or else buy me my subsitute..rice cakes or rice crackers..yes the flavoured ones BUT they have a fraction of the saturated/trans fats that r...http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlThu, 14 Feb 2008 02:27:46 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlOh goodness, those quaker cakes are great and evil, especially the chocolate ones, I ate 10 servings in one afternoon a couple days ago No more rice cakes for me for awhile... my lack of self-control is really appalling.http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlThu, 14 Feb 2008 01:17:52 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlI've tried sugar free red bull and no carbs monsters but they seem to wire me up too much. I think these energy drink are loaded with way too much caffine. Try a low calorie protien shake befor a workout. That seems to help me! Thanks for the snack tip! I'm going to grab some at the supermarket tonight=)...http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlThu, 14 Feb 2008 00:01:52 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlRice cakes & PB = a good treat for me =) Almosts masks the taste of the rice cake. That said, having a good workout is always about being mentally tuff/prepared. I'm tired many times physically or even mentally, but when I get to the Gym I know why i'm there, the goals I have, and I put it all into it. The craziest feeling is how great I feel after 95% of my workouts where I was 'ehhh' before. Also having the freinds/buddy at the gym will help tremendously. ...http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlThu, 20 Dec 2007 20:58:06 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlI've never tried any of those energy drinks... Rice cakes sure, but I'd rather have a crisp bread hi in fiber, like a Wasa for eg. I find that rice cakes make for good dog treats when training the lil guy though. And I'm looking forward to the next time I'm across the Pond, so I can try, (among other things that are hard to get here), this Kashi cereal I keep reading about. Dan, there is no drink or food that can get your mind and spirit where they should be to make...http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlThu, 20 Dec 2007 17:06:42 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlyeah, I'm a cruchy salty carbo sort of snacker myself. Rice cakes are definitely low in calories but they're basically like eating pure sugar. They're nothing healthy in them and they break down quickly making them a high glycemic carb, basically a junk carb. Have you every experimented with carbs and/or high glycemic foods? Some people are very affected by them which may be causing your lack of energy. High glycemic foods spike the blood sugar levels and can leave you fe...http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlThu, 20 Dec 2007 15:59:23 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmldiet, stress, dehydration, goal setting (being realistic)http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlThu, 20 Dec 2007 15:50:55 +0000http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlI am a chip oholic. Any chip, Dorito, crunch, will set me off on a binge. My trainer recently introduced me to his weaknesses and when we shared, he recommended Quaker Rice snacks/cakes. They're in many flavors and satisfy my craving. I purchased cheddar and chocolate (no not together) and am having a blast. The sodium and carbs are not bad. Definitely better than ruffles any day of the week. Thought I'd share the idea. Has anybody tried red bull, rip it or any other energy d...http://www.traineo.com/10_4367_0.htmlThu, 20 Dec 2007 15:47:56 +0000
