pre and post training spike?
just wondering what you all thought of pre and post traing insulin spikes. i train in morning first thing, i have a protein shake with water or milk and two slices of rye toast w/ jelly. post, i have p. shake, gaterade w/creatine,eggs and white rice,white bread, or potatos. im currently cutting for a comp. that is 6 weeks away. does this spike sound good, or should i make some corrections, start weight-182, current weight-168, comp weight-154. thanks

the only thing a pre wo insulin spike will do is possible screw up your training session and make the effects of the post wo spike less effective. insulin sensitivity decreases for several hours after an insulin spike.
I train differently than most, my beef is with gravity the weights on the bar are just the medium...Thanks to Wall Street your slice of the American Pie has been reduced to a crumb.

Meh, the training itself would improve insulin sensitivty but again, low blood sugar would cause lethargy. I wouldn't do it.

actually eating carbs after cardio will stop fat burning because your body will start to use those instead of the fat it was "feeing" off of.

Is this true? Because if so, damnit, I'm cutting and have been eating carbs (oats or fruits) right after cardio for the last week or so. Originally Posted by ReelBigFish

I read somewhere that it is better to wait at least 30 minutes after cardio session to have your meal .. But I personally don't even worry about it Originally Posted by KentDog

Eating anything has the potential to exert this effect. Originally Posted by ReelBigFish

And if you do interval style training, it'll raise your metabolism for several hours afterwards, not just minutes as per aerobic activity.Being held down by The Man
