Post workout insulin spike - Wednesday, June 03, 2009 5:11 PM ( #1 )

I used to use waxy maize for this, but as I enjoy drinking gatorade that is now the preference. I might have some candy/sweets every now and then too (if there is a time to enjoy a bit of sugar you know...) Any other preferences?

It makes protein shakes smoother also. feb 2010 220 12-14% bp 315 bs 405 dl 515

Right now I'm drinking gatorade and a whey protein shake right when I hit the locker room. Is this a good insulin spiker?

But some fruit and water won't have the refined sugars, and there might be some vitamins and minerals in the fruit too.
