Hey all,Was wondering what peoples' opinions are regarding keeping all supplements (Whey, Leucine etc) to just post workout and concentrating on a main / wholefood meal pre-workout for convenience regarding spiking insulin? I know Whey / Leucine will spike insulin, right?Thanks.
In my opinion training fasted with just a pre workout shake is best as I can go much harder and stronger in the gym without any carbs in me. I do not eat any carbs till post workout, and post workout its simple carbs I stick to the simple carbs as per the book and stay away from complex carbs as its counter productive to what you are trying to accomplish.
Thanks Newfiedan. I meant a pre-workout meal of ultra low carb, mostly protein and fatty foods, say a chicken breast or two, some bacon and eggs and tomatoes and mushrooms etc?
My last fat/protein meal pre workout happens at about 3pm (my coffee break) and workout is at 5:30 pm on workout days.
Right, so would you say that that meal is sufficient for pre-workout or would you recommend adding, for example, a scoop of Whey and Leucine to the meal or leaving all that post workout to avoid any insulin spike in the pre-WO phase?Thanks.
