Hi,

I am a 31 year old male an an extremely active and healthy bodybuilder. I eat only organic and follow Dr. Mercolas health plan. I heard about Dr. Rosedale through Dr. Mercolas anti aging cd I ordered. I am really looking for some help when combining the Dr. Rosedale eating plan with bodybuilding. I understand how I need to avoid sugar, but I also know the great effects of rasing my insulin levels especially post workout to help build muscle. I eat 3 organic bananas and 2 organic apples in the morning with 2 cups of spinach leaves and my krill oil with 300mg of Alpha Lipoic Acid. Should I be concerned with glycation at this time? I take one 300mg capsule of alpha lipoic acid 4 times a day. I try to eat low glycemic the rest of the day with my green carbs and proteins. I workout in the evenings about (5pm) and after my workouts I blend 3 cups of organic white rice with my cold processed grass fed protein powder. Then an hour later I have 3 packets of raw organic oatmeal with 2 bananas so I can benefit in the 2 hour post workout window for maximum muscle gains. I am trying to reduce my glycation, but also increase my muscle mass and gain another 20lbs of muscle. It just seems that it is really a challenge to do both as the things I need to do to gain a lot of muscle contradicts the things needed to do to reduce glycation. I really appreciate any help and direction as I have researched this online and can’t find any answers anywhere. My main goal is to fight the aging process (wrinkles) and still achieve a high muscle and bodybuilder lifestyle. Please help!! Thank you for your time and I look forward to hearing from you.
