Subject: [RC] carob products
Spelling, spelling, spelling - it has a lot to do with meaning...
please correct ME if I am wrong -- there are two completely different words
with dififerent meanings:
Carob = a bean - a kind of chocolate flavor
Carbo = abbreviation for carbohydrates -- an form of energy
I have a feeling that your subject is not "carob products" but carbo
products.

From my days on the Lo Carb lists I've been
told:
Bodybuilders avoid carbs to avoid fat.
Fat keeps their muscles from having good definition.
I'm told by Ray Audette (Author of
NeanderThin) that the more successful marathon runners have a high fat and
protein dinner the night before. Fats and proteins take longer to
digest so you end up with energy for a longer period. Also, it
avoids the spiking of blood glucose levels and resultant insulin spike
and blood sugar crash.
Finally, in Humans endurance events (like "I
walked across the South Pole pulling a sled by myself") the diet is
extremely high fat. (This last part came in an interview on Fresh
Air with Terri Gross). I forget the guy's name, but to prepare for
his walks, he ate several pounds of fat a day. (It actually
sounded kind of gross).

There are a lot of different theories out there.
Read everything you can and make your own decision based on what you and
your horse need.
I gave some serious thought to the fat/carbo thing and
here is my opinion and it is just that. When weight lifters want
to put on muscle they eat higher than normal protein/fat diets.
When marathon runners eat the night before a race and during a race they
eat carbs. It has been working for them for a long time.
There is lots of research there. We do not have the research just
some one or two rat studies not in controlled situations. I feed
my horses for what I am doing with them at that particular point in
their career.
