I know, I know, not the kind of title you'd be expecting in the nutrition forum, but none the less it deals with PWO nutrition so I thought it appropriate.
I was just wondering if anyone has any experience delaying post workout nutrition or maybe mixing their protein with fats post workout in order to avoid the immediate insulin response. I don't think this would be a good idea in a bulking situation, but while cutting beneficial. It seems pre and intra workout would be more beneficial for maintaining muscle mass, while post workout you could let the fat continue to burn and let growth hormone surge for a little while.
Currently, I am cutting and am taking no carbs PWO, and I am having no problem maintaining strength or muscle mass. But I do also take a significant amount of BCAAS pre, intra, and post. I know bcaas as well as hydrolyzed whey and regular isolate can cause a pretty significant insulin spike.
Anyone have any research or experience to share on the subject?
Or does anyone have any info on how long after lifting one would expect growth hormone to surge, and info about how long the BCAA insulin spike lasts? I wonder if intra workout BCAA supplementation also would inhibit this to some degree?
I'm gonna research it some, and post back here when I find something
