Post Workout Slin and food

From what I've read people are saying to start out with 10 grams of carbs per IU of slin postworkout. To me that doesn't seem like much.

After my workouts I always drink 100 grams of carbs in the form of dextrose and 20 minutes later I drink 45 grams of protein from a whey protein shake. About an hour later I eat real food and try to get about the same concentration of carbs and protein along with a couple tablespoons of olive oil * credit goes to LA for the olive oil idea *

If I was to use 5-6 IU's of slin should I cut my carbs back to 50-60 grams ? And is Dextrose a good source for these carbs when using slin ?

If I decide to use slin it won't be until I've done a few more months of research about it. It really seems like something that could screw you up pretty easily if not used correctly and I'm going to know what I'm doing with it before I start.
 
When you take a 100 grams now you are trying to facilitate insulin production. When you take slin shots it is already occuring.
 
I dont like the idea of any fat after a slin shot but thats me. the slin will shuttle fat to fat cells.

I also wouldnt plan on lowering you carbs just yet. dextrose is fine and eating a good meal after is good idea. but remember if you are using LOG the spikes are 15min,1.5 hour and 3 hours marks so make sure you have some form of carbs going in before those times.

after you reach you max dose of slin you are useing then you can try droping you carbs by a few Gs everyday. but dont cut them in half right off the bat
 
I dropped back on my carbs. I have about 70 for 10iu's with not any prob. 1 hour later i have chicken breast and white rice. 2 hours later more chicken and rice. I am going low fat after the shot. I also take HCA , ALA with the shot these are supposed to help store the glycogen in he muscle not the fat cells. Very important to take creatine and glutamine with your shake and i take more when i eat my meals. This is my 2nd week and the pumps are awesome. Do your research and get a gameplan down before you start slin is not something you can make a mistake with.
