Sugar me up!
Well… I decided to make a slight modification to my diet. I think this will help with keeping and building more muscle as the diet goes on. I have started adding some fast digesting carbohydrates to my post workout shake. Basically what I was doing before, was taking 1 scoop of protien before lifting in the morning and 2 after. Now with the 2 after I am also adding either a banana or baked potato, or other source of fast digesting carbs.
The idea here is to spike insulin levels to help deliver the protien and carbohydrates straight to the muscles, since they will be receptive right after a workout. This should help get more glycogen in the muscles and also slow down cortisol which should result in a more anabolic state with less muscle break down.
I have to admit any excuse to eat a baked potato or banana is GREAT!
