I was wondering this because after you said ice cream was good to go, I added it into my backloading window and I was shocked that I actually felt better than I did before. Back when I crashed, any sugar would send me off the deep end. But I smashed some high quality ice cream in my backloading window and exactly how you just explained, I basically felt my muscles pump larger and I felt jacked, also felt more clear minded and in a good mood. I guess that its hormones coming into play. This is all news to me, so I'm very interested. I usually just eat sweet potatoes in my backloading window, this makes the protocol that much better since I'm already feeling great while on it. This was really helpful though, thanks for the clarification.
