Take oats, save money and stay lean.
Take oats, save money and stay lean.
in the morning and post workout? how much , 1 cup? But oats doesnt dijest as fast , or does it?
Oats have low gi and that's why you more likely to stay lean than taking dextrose & Co.
How much and when? It depends from your diet and stats.
common myth...
i think it better to keep blood glucose levels balanced throughout the day.
why spike insulin only PWO?
also, just because you are lean doesn't mean your glucose tolerance is higher or lower.
excess insulin supports and stores excess glucose as fat cells, and removes fat from the blood and transports it to fat cells. i don't see why high GI carbohydrates should be utilized in a PWO regimen?
use of exogenous slin is whole other story for PWO regimen.
The insulin is the anabolic hormone for excellence and in addition to facilitating the entry of fats and carbohydrates inside the cell, also facilitates the entry of the protein. It is explained because after the workout (with the weights) is advised to consume high glycaemic index carbohydrates together with whey protein.
This association causes an insulin peak that favours the entrance of the amino acids in muscles cells, where will be used to repair the protein structures damaged, and encourage the anabolism.
The use of low glycaemic index carbohydrates, would slow and in some cases (genetics) thwarts the process.
PS
I do not speak "by Myth".
I break them down, usually!

Source of information? I believe the difference in anabolic up regulation is negligible at best, and that this protocol's benefits do not outweigh the possible negative effects of an insulin spike.
Like I said previously if you are using a combination of exogenous slin and bcaa + whey then I can see the use of an immediate insulin spike... but otherwise I don't agree.
