The best way to use insulin as a supplement for gaining lean muscle
Carbohydrates should be coingested following resistance training at about a 2:1 ratio of carbs to protein. 40-60 grams carbs and 20-30 grams protein would be a good ratio.
Following endurance training, the ratio should be about 4:1 carbs to protein.
Insulin also leads to lipogenesis, or fat formation, so intentional spiking of insulin should be limited.
A carb protein supplement should be taken both immediately after and 90-120 minutes following a training session in order to maximize training adaptations.
[h=3]The best way to “use” insulin would be to correctly time carbohydrate ingestion to maximize the effects of endogenous insulin. Insulin is the most anabolic hormone in the body; meaning that it inhibits almost all systems of catabolism and stimulates almost all systems of anabolism.[/h]
Given this, it would be wise to spike insulin following a demanding workout to minimize protein degradation and maximize synthesis, therefore maximizing protein accretion.Carbohydrates should be coingested following resistance training at about a 2:1 ratio of carbs to protein. 40-60 grams carbs and 20-30 grams protein would be a good ratio.
