What if I have poor carb tolerance and gain fat easily?
Possibly, although carbohydrate tolerance improves vastly with resistance training so dont shy away from carbs until you know what your individual post-workout carb tolerance level is. If you find that supplements, such as Surge, arent right for you, the non-carb alternative is to consume high doses of BCAA with added glutamine. General recommendations are in the range of 10-40g of BCAA and 20-60g of glutamine. If you go this route, split the dose into workout and post-workout drinks half the full combined BCAA and glutamine dose in each. The discussions and articles in All about BCAAs , Calories of BCAAs , and Glutamine provide additional information about these supplements.
