Johnka: Fiber Question

[I. Kay]

Hey man, in your book, I've noticed that many of the meals labeled (PW) have quite a bit of fiber in them. Now I always thought that fiber slowed digestion down, so it would not be optimal for post-workout meals.

What's the reasoning?

p.s. I'm having a great time reading this thing. Lots of fun stuff with the herbs/spices! And I've already tried out the asparagus-trimming trick. I have asparagus like 3 times a week, so it'll come in handy!

The meals marked "PW" run the gamut from immediately post-workout shakes, to P+C meals with lots-o-fiber. Think of your 4 hour post-workout window in terms of drinking a fast-acting shake immediately PW, followed by 2-3 P+C meals with increasingly complex carbohydrate sources (fiber tends to go hand-in-hand with these carb sources).

Ok, very cool. Makes sense in those terms!
