PB, Whey protein does the following:
· reduces insulin concentration in the blood by up to 40%
· Lower insulin concentrations are associated with improved blood sugar control and reduced fat storage.

The above sounds great as I've siad before, but right after training I don't want all the insulin reducing effect WPI can cause, hence the changing of the ratios from 1:0.7 to 4:1

PS: WPI is not going to turn into glucose just because it's quickly digested and absorbed. It's going to break down into amino acids and from there get shuttled by insulin into your muscles to help with muscle synthesis as its primary function.

Hummus on a slice of bread plus a couple of eggs. That should really relax you due to the high trptohpan which will have an easy access in bypassing the blood-brain barrier due to all the other amino acids competing together for entry into the blood stream...and enter they will. By doing so they will leave the Serotonin King alone without competition to do its thing.

If you're wondering why or how; it's because insulin does not have an effect on trptohpan, hence the other aminos would be shuttled into the blood on insulin's "back" with (like I said) trptohpan being left alone to enter the brain and raise serotonin.

Cottage cheese does the same thing, but I'd rather get all my calcium and other goodies from the chick peas and sesame seed paste (tahini).

Have I answered your question n00bs?

Here's some copy and paste info you may be interested in re tryptophan, serotonin and HGH.

Tryptophan is an amino acid that is converted to serotonin, which increases HGH during sleep. The nutrient is also found in milk, which may explain why drinking milk at night is a common remedy for insomnia. Five studies reported small increases in HGH with doses of more than five grams. It appears to be a mind-body regulator, decreasing anxiety and depression, and with the addition of vitamin B6, tryptophan may help reduce the severity of panic attacks. The usual dosage is one to two grams at bedtime. For best results, it should be taken with B6 (30 mg) and vitamin C (250 mg), which the brain uses to convert tryptophan to serotonin.

Isnt that what happens when you have next to no carbs for 3 days straight except maybe from some lean red meat + vegies. So it turns to burning fat?
