Post workout Insulin spike question?

[once was fat]

I read in a magazine (YEH I KNOW) that a good post workout insulin spike would be 3 tablespoons of honey, 1 bananna, and a protein shake. Would this be a wise diet choice for an insulin spike. If so are all honey's created equal. Wich brand of honey or what type would everyone reccomend. Thanks in advance for this.

I would stick with Dextrose or Maltodextrin.

Can anyone recommend whole foods instead of supplements?

A potato and Eggwhites.

donescobar hit the nail on the head. If you want something IMMEDIATELY, maltodextrin and quality Whey

If going for an insulin spike is 15 minutes with in the window post workout.

Within 30-45 mins. PWO. And that goes for both high gi PWO meals or low gi PWO meals.

Yes post workout.

I do not find PWO spikes necessary for everyone. I DO NOT spike my insulin but I DO have my boyfriend spike his PWO. I am an endo/meso so I have no problem gaining LBM and I have no problem gain fat either So I don't find it necessary for me to spike my insulin. I use whey and oats PWO.

My boyfriend is a pure ecto so he is a hard gainer. I do have him use some sort of dextrose or Smarties candies and whey PWO.

[Jodi]

That's all fructose so no. Fructose will only increase liver glycogen. You want to fill muscle glycogen not just liver glycogen.

AHHHHHHHHHH fuck I just bought a jar of honey and some dam bannanas. Oh well. I guess I will have a baked potato then unless there is something else that would be good.

You can always go get a big bag of Smarties candies ot Sweet Tarts. Those are pure Dextrose/Maltodextrin.

Ok now Im really confused. One says bannana but one says no bannana.

lol, this gets very confusing my friend. I used to be just like you once, until i realized that 90% of whats said on/about bb'ing is a theory/opinion. You have to research (the link jodi posted if fuckin awesome but can make your head hurt after a while) and weigh the pro's and con's of everything and remember that you have to decide what you do based on yourself not anybody else.

I would not go for a banana since all it will do is fill liver glycogen. Go with a potato or white rice at that.

 

[Yanick]

what if you are bulking and your liver is already full of glycogen? I would tend to agree but for a different reason. If you are spiking insulin post w/o you want to get that blood glucose up ASAP, and fructose is not the sugar to do that (it has a lower GI because it needs to pass through the liver before getting to the blood)

 

[OmarJackson]

gatorade powder, grape juice, white rice, rice-cakes, and for the bulking people - rice crispie treats.

some people might look as rice crispie treats as being crazy, but most of the carbs in them come from high glycemic puffed rice, and not as much as you think from fructose. so for those hardgainers, or when you're on a bulk and just plain don't care, they can be a great way to spike your insulin and actually enjoy it.

huh?

we're talking about spiking insulin are we not?

a banana is almost pure glucose, what better way to spike insulin?

 

[Jodi]

But for those trying to spike insulin a banana would still not be the best option.

A banana is high in fiber.

Oh and a banana is 65%glucose 45%fructose.

Yes we are but even if a banana is made of 65% glucose it is still not ideal for post workout.
