Last week I came down with a cold, and had to ask myself whether or not to go to the gym. It’s not an easy decision. However, I went to the gym anyways and had a “light” workout. It wasn’t easy, because of how lazy I felt; but I did notice that I was felt a little better.

The Glycemic Index, is a measurement of how quickly carbohydrates are metabolized. Carbohydrates such as white bread and cookies are metabolized much faster than carbohydrates like whole wheat bread and brown rice.

Creatine Forms and Brands
1. Creatine Monohydrate
first of all, Creatine Monohydrate is definitely the most popular form of creatine. If you’ve never taken creatine or any supplement besides protein powder, It’s highly recommended from me that you start out with pure creatine monohydrate powder, and see how it works for you.
PROS
-It’s the cheapest creatine
-It has been under the most scientific studies than all other forms, and is proven to help with lean muscle gains.
CONS
-It is sometimes difficult on the stomach to digest, because it doesn’t easily disolve in water. (unless you buy micronized creatine monohydrate, which is more processed)
BRANDS
-Nutrex: VoluGro
-ABB Hardcore Essentials: Crea-Force
-MHP:Creaine Monohydrate
-Promora Health: Con-Cret
-Optimum Nutrition: Creatine 2500
2. Creatine Ethyl Ester (CEE)
