pre-workout snack……….?

tomorrow mornin im hittin the gym quite early so i cant eat my normal breakfast(im on a diet)but i do need a really light pre-wokout snack(even a diet juice or somethin)to fuel my workout without the risk of throwing up.Any Suggestions?

what do you think about the diet pill trimspa?

Well I'm on the Atkins Diet currently to lean myself out and gain a bit more muscle mass while losing fat at the same time to get me really fit. Anyways...

I've been getting really confused. I've seen foods with 0 NET CARBS but then on the back it will have around 18 TOTAL CARBS due to Sugar Alcohols and Fibers.

Well I'm not too sure but are NET CARBS ok? Will I have the same results if I lean back on these alternatives to fuel my sugar needs?

Mainly my question is if I eat Sugar Alcohols and Fibers will I still lose weight on the Atkins Diet or will I end up contributing to gaining weight instead...

what does this mean about sugar?

Health Issues: Simple sugars have been documented to contribute to and/or aggravate health problems, including: asthma, mood disorders, mental illness, nervous disorders, diabetes, heart disease, gallstones, hypertension, and arthritis.
Insulin Impacts: Sugar raises insulin levels, inhibiting the release of growth hormones which depresses the immune system. Further, too much insulin promotes the storage of fat, so that when you eat foods that are high in sugar, you're enabling rapid weight gain and elevated triglyceride levels, both of which have been linked to cardiovascular disease.
Degenerative Disease: Sugar has no real nutritional value (minerals, vitamins and fiber) and as a result, has a deteriorating effect on the endocrine system, causing sugar consumption to be one of the 3 major causes of degenerative disease.
Cancer Culprits: Turns out that cancer's preferred fuel is none other than glucose. Controlling one's blood-glucose levels through diet, exercise, supplements, meditation and prescription drugs - when necessary - can be extremely important to a cancer treatment program.

Please tell me any experiences that you or anyone you know has had from them, thanks!
