Great article! I’d like to add that glycemic index of carbs also may have value regarding pre and post exercise snacks:
….It is suggested low to moderate GI foods (pasta, porridge) be consumed several hours prior to exercise due to their long slow release of glucose into the blood stream. While high glycemic index foods (corn flakes, honey, sports drinks, sweets) should be consumed during or post exercise because they quickly release glucose into the blood stream which will be rapidly taken up into the muscles.

It should be no surprise that since educated observers have started asking legit questions about Armstrong’s questionable values he has taking them down from his website. So much for his promise of “Complete transparency”
