insulin spike

**Willdebeast** · 03-16-2004, 04:33 PM

I was just wondering on what anyone thought about using chocolate for a post w/o insulin spike. I take in 50gs of whey stacked with BCAAs as well as 1 cup of oats and wouldnt mind adding in half a Mars bar or something. I guess Im asking because of my dark master.. the cocoa bean.

JUNK. mars bars are high in fat(terrible post workout) and lacking in any nutrients!

I eat rice cakes. Highly Glycemic and satisfy cravings.

if you want an insulin spike as Patrick suggest - rice cakes, or white potatoes or white bread.

I heard someone suggesting all these candies on another thread, I was like hmm candy....."GOOD CALL" IF your lookin for insulin spike atleast go with something with a little more nutrients than candy.

I'd go with Whey, Malto, and Dextrose post workout.

What dose an insulin spike do for you. Whats the bennifit.

When Combined with Creatine and Dextrose and ALA, they will all serve as a transporter of proteins to damaged tissues(muscles) causing anabolism post workout.

Dose this mean more testestrone? Or am I way wrong.

Actually you can use candies as an insulin spike, as long as
a) they are fat-free
b) the sugar they use is not fructose, ideally you want glucose or dextrose.
The best candy to use for this is Smarties (not the chocolate ones, the juicy dextrose-based ones)

Perosnally I never use insulin spikes, though, I use oats.

Peace.

Same here, I prefer oats or another slow burning carb as well.

My boyfriend is using an insulin spike (pure ecto) though and I have him eating Smarties, SweetTarts, Shockers, Spree's, Pixi Stiks

Yup, he prefers to eat his PWO spike.

I will gain fat on a PWO spike so that's why I stick with oats.

is it kosher to eat the oats as oatmeal and not have it ground up and thrown in the shake, i just prefer eating it, and how much oatmeal do you usually go with, i probably have about 1.5 scoops of whey and 1 cup(dry measure) of oatmeal with a banana post workout, so far it has been working pretty good considering i'm up about 15 lbs in 2+ months
