Hi Zuzana,
You wrote so much about post work-out eating, but it still confuses me a little! Such as eating fat. If I train in the morning, how many hours after am I allowed to eat some fat? SHould I avoid them all day long or is it just the first meal that is important?
I also read that eatings carbs after the work out is important only for professional sports people who need to keep improving their performance. However, for people who want to loose weight only protein after workout is recommended. Is that true?

…by the way. For those who are asking themselves, why shouldn’t I use MILK as my source of protein:
Milk is difficult to digest, and much of its calcium never gets into the bloodstream. Milk is also high in phosphorus, which binds to calcium and makes it less absorbable. Much of this calcium is then excreted in the urine. A study of U.S. women published May 9 in the LANCET links insulin-like growth factor-1 (IGF-1) with breast cancer. Earlier this year a study linked IGF-1 to prostate cancer. IGF-1 levels are now being artificially increased in much of the cows’ milk being sold throughout the U.S. These new cancer studies raise serious questions about the wisdom of allowing IGF-1 levels to be raised in milk. There’s BIG money in dairy–know your history, research, read the literature and be healthy!

Thank you for posting these articles and I love your work out vids! I would like to comment on the chocolate milk post work out. While fats are crucial to your nervous system (among others) and you must consume some fat everyday, I wouldn’t recommend milk as your recovery food. Stick to the proteins post exercise. If you want calcium, broccoli is king, if you want fats, please get them from seeds, nuts, unsat. oils, fish. Stay clean with your foods. If you want chocolate, put some chocolate protein powder for your mucsles, add some peanut butter while you’re at it, flax seeds (those omegas), green powder (that’s all your vegetables in powder form–not just seaweed or wheat grass), add some buffered Vit. C for skin repair, ice, rice or almond milk. YUM!
