Control the Damage From Overeating

Here's what you need to know...

• Any meal over 750 calories (not including the peri-workout nutrition period) results in a measurable amount of fat storage, regardless of macronutrient profile.
• Glycogen-depleting workouts done before a cheat meal can help counteract its detrimental effects.
• Eating a low-glycemic meal a couple of hours before a big meal can improve carbohydrate tolerance and quell the appetite.
• Taking thermogenic and nutrient-partitioning supplements before pigging out can undo much of the damage.
• If you ignore any or all of the preceding tips, you can do a modified Pulse Fast the day after the meal to set you right.
