I remember reading articles about Dana Torres where she mentioned how her current training diet was more protein based and not the carb loading that was her earlier training days.
As someone who is contemplating a higher level of training, I'm wondering what is the ideal ratio of protein/carb/fat is (Of course ice cream should be the 4th food group)... Of course I could just buy her book, but I doubt that would answer my questions : ).
If anyone has personal/professional experience glad to hear it, but equally interested in recommended resources web or paper based.
Thanks!

OR - if you really ARE curious, you could try a few weeks without dairy. Most people I know who tried it are experiencing better digestion, fewer "aches" (head aches, joint aches etc), less mucus (no more running nose) but most of all: more energy.
I can honestly say that with the exception of cheese (Quick Tangent: Someone needs to create an "Oliver" style musical about cheese. I can see it now: "Please sir, can I have some more mozzarella?" "MORE?!" "Yes Sir... More" "MOOOOOOREE?!?!?!" :rofl:) I've gone without milk for a couple weeks at a time as my roommates are both lactose intolerant. I'm usually kind of lazy and don't go across the street to get milk unless we're all out of rice dream.
I will however do this:
I move in to my new place on my own in the next week or two. Starting that day - I'll keep my diet essentially dairy free for exactly one month. I'll miss the cottage cheese, cheese curds, cheese cake, shredded cheese, cheese slices, cheesy pickup lines, etc... but I will try it and keep track of how I'm feeling in my daily blog. I will also try to track my other food intake and sleep levels. I'll put for good measure a ranking from 0-10 (0 being puking sick or hungover) in my USMS Blog. This way everyone can see the progress.
I figured - my body is a great place to experiment with this kind of thing. So lets do it.
