Fat days/Carb days

[HUNTER13]

I know some of you water fast during the day, but some of us like a little snack. I was just wondering if it would make sense to snack on some nuts, cheeses, and yougort (not neccasarily at the same time and in moderation) during the day on days you will be having your high fat main meal. And on fruits and veggies on days when having you high carb days for main meal? That way your body wont get confused as to wich fuel to be going on (at least thats the logic I read about on some sites) Hunter

I would say that's a sensible approach. Easy to do, don't forget, he recommends fruit earlier, yogurt/kefir/whey/an egg and or/nuts if you must later. Often that's too much for me in the undereat these days, but it does depend. Don't stress it!

I had a few back and forth emails with Ori a few months ago and asked some similar questions.  His response was that the fat/carb rotation was only for the main meal at night and didn't apply the undereating phase during the day.  So regarldess of what you plan for the evening, you don't have to worry about whether you're consuming carb fuel or fat fuel during the days.

On another note, he also said that nuts are more for the evening overeating phase and is more effective then than trying to eat it during the day.  During your undereating phase, you want to consume foods that are very easily digested by the stomach and quickly absorbed, such as fruits, vegetables, and lowfat or nonfat yoghurt or kefir.  If you go with full fat yoghurt, it's a little too taxing on the stomach during the undereating phase.  I've even experienced this with mixing my warrior milk in the morning after my workouts with whole milk.  I initially ran into some problems until Ori said to try mixing with lowfat or nonfat instead...it worked like a charm!

I mix my protein with yogourt post workout too, no problems at all, I even think I digest it a lil easier that way. I was thinking about mixing it with milk but havent decided yet. What is considered high fat for the milk and yogourt?

[Geronimo8201]

Anything made from whole milk is considered high fat.  Stick with yoghurt made with 1% or 2% milk.  I'd consider going with skim milk, but it tastes like water and just doesn't seem right, haha.

I even usually make my own yoghurt:
1 pint of 1% or 2% milk (organic), boil it in a pot, let it cool a little bit, boil it a second time, let it cool to room temperature, stir in a few tablespoons of leftover plain yoghurt (with live active cultures), cover it with a cloth and let it sit overnight in an area that keeps temperatures stable (I usually leave it in the microwave).  The next morning you'll have yoghurt!  If it's still a little liquidity, just leave it another day and, if it's a good consistency, just put it in the fridge.  After you've made your first batch, you can just use the last few tablespoons left to make your next batch.  It tastes great, is 100% natural, and saves you some cash.
