Find out if it is acceptable to use dairy products during the active fat burning phase? And why milk has unnecessary carbohydrates that interfere with fat burning. The benefits of milk are well known, because this product helps to strengthen the skeletal system, accelerates growth and increases the body's energy storage. Today, athletes actively use protein mixtures, which are also made from milk, or rather whey, which is a by-product in the production of cottage cheese. Today we will consider the question - how effective will be the use of milk for drying in bodybuilding.
But first, let's say a few words about the product itself. We all know more about cow's milk, since it is exactly what is sold in supermarkets. Other types of milk are less common and differ in composition. However, there are common points between them. First of all, it is the basis of any type of milk, 88 percent water and 12 percent fat.
The aqueous part of the product contains minerals, protein compounds, lactose (carbohydrates in the form of milk sugar), as well as water-soluble vitamins. The fatty portion of milk consists of fat-soluble vitamins, hormones, fat and enzymes.
Should you consume milk on drying in bodybuilding?
To answer this question, we need to know about some scientific facts that can be used to describe the mechanism of action of a product on muscle tissue. To begin with, milk protein compounds have a complete amino acid profile. They are also able to be quickly absorbed in the digestive system with minimal stress on it. Let's say a glass of milk contains eight grams of high-quality proteins, and if you drink 250 grams of milk after training, the body will be able to quickly repair muscle tissue damage.
Due to the presence of a large amount of calcium in the product, milk perfectly strengthens the bone structure. In addition, milk has the ability to retain water in the body, which makes it possible to normalize the water balance in the body. Also, the product perfectly satisfies the feeling of hunger due to the presence of fats in it.
Speaking about the benefits of drying milk in bodybuilding, it is necessary to remember about cytokines, which are one of the elements of the product. These substances have anabolic activity and have the ability to activate the process of converting stem cells into muscle cells. But at the same time, you should remember that the maximum concentration of cytokines is contained in fresh milk, and after heat treatment, their amount is noticeably reduced. Other dairy products will also be very helpful during drying. However, you must remember that they contain carbohydrates and you need to limit your intake. Speaking about the benefits of milk for drying in bodybuilding, I immediately recall the film "Pump the Iron". Surely the older generation remembers this film, because none other than Arnie starred in it. From the TV screens, the idol of millions then said that milk is not for builders and should be left to children.
As a result, an incomprehensible situation arises - on the one hand, we found out that milk is a valuable product, and on the other hand, there is no reason not to trust Arnie. But all fans of Schwarzenegger must have read his book "Becoming a Bodybuilder". By the way, it was published in the same year as the film we mentioned. In his book, Arnie noted that during his time bodybuilders were very active in using milk.
This fact only confuses everything even more, but everything turned out to be much simpler. The thing is that a large number of people were involved in the filming of the film, including the scriptwriters. It was they who wrote all the texts for the heroes of the picture. Arnie himself is sure that drying milk in bodybuilding is a very important and useful product.
Note that in the past few years, scientists from the United States and Great Britain have conducted several large-scale studies in which the effect of chocolate milk on the body of athletes has been studied. As a result, they found that this product is able to help the body recover much faster after exercise.
Chocolate milk is very easy to make at home. To do this, you will need to mix 200 ml of milk (not fat) and one teaspoon of cocoa. This drink should be taken within 20 or 30 minutes after completing the session. Chocolate milk outperforms gainers in terms of effectiveness, and you should keep this in mind.
In conclusion, I would like to remind you that for an effective drying course you need to reduce the calorie content of your diet and eat at least five times throughout the day. Also exclude sweets and flour products from the diet. All this is relevant when gaining mass, except that the energy value of the nutrition program should be increased.
