    Default Q) What is the Glycemic Food Index? Why do I care? By Iron-Game

    Q) What is the Glycemic Food Index?


    A) To over simplify the glycemic food index ranks foods on how our blood sugar levels are affected or how much your blood sugar goes up after eating different foods. Generally we are talking about high carbohydrate foods and how fast they are converted in to sugar (glucose) in the blood. High fat and high protein foods don't cause a spike in blood sugar. Simple table sugar, baked potatoes, even some complex carbohydrates can raise blood sugars to unhealthy levels. Adding fats and protein to these carbohydrates can slow the and lower the raise in blood sugar levels.
    People looking to be healthy or lose weight can use the glycemic index to help them eat healthier.
    For our benefit having a basic understanding of the GI (Glycemic Index) is important to bodybuilders and performance athletes looking to optimize insulin's anabolic properties. This is good to know when using IGF-1 LR3 or HGh.

    Why would you want an insulin response for the purpose of gaining muscle. There are many articles available here at WWW.MUSCLECHEMISTRY.COM about that but in short insulin helps shuttle nutrients into the muscles. Pre & Post workout are both great times. I will also post some links below for more information.

    Thanks

    As you will read about here at MuscleChemistry.com when using MC IGF-1 Lr3 pwo it is best to take in plenty of carbs. I personally like eating about 80 grams of fast acting carbs (HIGH GI) and BCAA'a post workout with my MC IGF-1 LR3

    So good to take carbs post workout, doesn't igf get absorbed better when carbs are taken before you pin the igf?

    I usually wait 20-25 minutes after taking my IGF-1 and have a couple packs of instant oatmeal and wash it down with some BCAA's. I have tried it several different ways but this is what works best for me.

    Thanks for great read brother !!!
    Love carbs but can eat to much of them in every meal.
    I always choose a bagel after workout (I eat it about 10-15 minutes after IGF-LR3).
