Most plateaus are not training problems. They are timing problems. The body anabolic-windows are narrower than fitness folklore suggests, and missing them turns calories into storage instead of repair.

Pre (60–90 min out)

Slow carbs + low-glycemic fiber. Aim for 30–40g carbs, 10g protein, minimal fat. Soaked seed mixes hit this profile cleanly.

Intra (long sessions only)

Sip electrolytes for sessions over 60 minutes. Solid food slows performance. Below 60 minutes, water is enough.

Post (within 45 min)

20–30g complete protein within forty-five minutes of the last set. Pair with a fast carb to refill glycogen — fruit or jaggery, not refined sugar.
