Listener Q&A

Listener Chris asks: Hi Ben, When I look at nutrition labels, I often notice a big dispeaity between the sugar content and total carbohydrate. Doesn't the liver basically convert carbs to sugar for the muscles? I guess what I'm ultimately asking is while I'm looking out for low sugar content in food, should I also be concerned about total carbohydrate content if it's significantly higher than just the grams of sugar.
Listener Sofi asks: I've been wondering recently if I am getting too much fat in my diet. Don't get me wrong, its primarily the good fat..nuts, avocados, flax and whatnot...So here is what I am wondering: if my TOTAL calorie intake is kept where it should be, is it possible that getting too much of those calories from good fat is having a negative effect? I am way beyond believing its as easy as calories in/calories out, because all calories are not created equally. For this reason, I don't eat much refined sugar, get my veggies and don't buy things that can live forever on my shelves...But I have this funny feeling I may be going into good fat overdose. So, would you be able to shed some light on how this could be effecting me? Also, if I'm eating 1200-1700 calories (depending on exercise, etc), how much of that should really come from fat?
Listener Elsa asks: Why do I have a "want to throw up" feeling after my weight training session?
Listener Joan comments: In a podcast you aired a couple weeks ago, you mentioned that you use Hammer's Liquid Endurance for hot weather competitions. That, of course, is a glycerol-based product. In Hammer's latest Endurance News issue, they note that glycerol has now been prohibited by WADA. Hammer actually no longer has Liquid Endurance available. If you want to read the article....its in the January 2010 issue.
