I received an e-mail last night from a reader and I thought it was a great question because when I started Occam’s protocol myself about 1 year ago I felt really confused about how Occam’s feeding and Occam’s prescriptions combined with those of Tim’s Slow Carb Diet recommendations.<\/p>\n
This is especially tough when you plan on implementing both aspects of the book together at the same time.<\/p>\n
Our friendly reader first asked:<\/p>\n
Which supplements should I take? Tim doesn’t really say in the book if you can combine different sets of supplements i.e. PAGG + those in Occam’s…<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
Here is my answer:<\/h2>\n
The overlap between Occam’s and PAGG is in the ALA. So you can take the PAGG but I would avoid supplementing with additional ALA. If you look at the chart I made<\/a> you will see the overlap.<\/p>\n
I just started the PAGG myself 2 weeks ago and I have been personally using Occam’s Protocol for 11 months. I supplemented with Creatine and L-Glutamine and took Gold Standard Whey Protein for several months. I stopped because it felt too …. what is the word… “synthetic”.<\/p>\n
So I just focused on more natural proteins in the form of lean meats, beans, eggs. etc. to meet my protein requirements.<\/p>\n
Here is a quick side by side comparison of the two protocols. You can see where the ALA overlaps.<\/strong><\/p>\n
