I have been making an effort to having my post workout carbs as long after the workout as possible. What I do is take 50g whey right after a workout, then I have a meal about 40-60 minutes after that. Ideally, I would be doing 50g right after, another 50g an hour after that, THEN do my meals right before I go to bed. That's what Ronda Rousey did when she dropped weight classes to win the title (along with IF diet). But since I am not doing this to earn thousands of dollars, I am taking a less drastic approach  |
Wait, correct me if I'm wrong, but when you say insulin resistant do you mean that blood sugar is less efficient in transporting nutrients into muscle cells? Wouldn't it be more insulin sensitive since its more efficient in transporting the carbs into the cells and speeding the rate of fat accumulation?
