Eating Fruit At Night

[sizerp]

I like eating an apple before bed sometimes.

After you're insulin gets spiked, sometimes you feel crashed afterwards, especially if it's a simple sugar.

Eat fruit to help get sleepy.

Milk products are also useful for this purpose. Milk, yogurt etc. have high insulin index and cause insulin spike.

It's not good when you try to cut

The Insulin Index right now is probably not the best guide to go by. There is really a very limited body of evidence relative to GL or GI. For example milk carbohydrates have a very low GL and GI because of milk sugars (lactose) beta 1,4 bonding structure, and also that only about 5% of milks component make up is lactose. So relative to other sugar compounds milk ingestion has a very low effect on serum blood glucose and insulin release.

I get what your saying though, because the Insulin Index in theory takes into account other nutrients effect on insulin release. Its just that the research and validity of said research is in its very early stages.

I don't eat dairy, nor would I advocate the use of such products, in ANY DIET for ANY PERSON. It's disgusting, and makes me feel like shit. Just in case you were wondering... insulin aside.

THis may be true but for me the added carbs produce more energy and the insulin hormone makes me want to eat a entire jar of peanut butter ( dont try this lol) . This is just me we are all differnt though

Yeah that may be. If you are used to toned-down energy levels at the end of your day, than I understand. When bulking or cutting, I usually always have a minimal amount of carbs before I sleep, otherwise I wake up starving my ass off halfway through the night.

I have the same problem with the carbs. Protein shake, 2 TS of PB, & EFA's are usually the last thing to go in.
