Glycemic index and insulin spike

[sunchienlee]

Hi nutrition misc, I need your help.

I am definitely not a nutritional guru and I am very grateful that I have found this forum which taught me pretty much everything I now know about nutrition.

A coworker of mine is a firm believer in insulin spike leads to fat storage and low vs. high GI food. I really want to show him that unless you are diabetic (correct me if I am wrong) that insulin spike and GI are really irrelevant.
He was preaching to me about how eating white flour is BAD for me. I really want to explain to him in the right way but I don't have the knowledge background to do so.

Can someone show me studies and teach me how I can tell my coworker that it's all broscience?

Thanks in advance.

Lawrence

EDIT:
I have found these from the forum so far:

Why? You might as well try and convince a Christian that God doesn't exist. Don't waste your time or energy.

Good article on insulin

Edit: just saw your edit..

Erick is right. Most people aren't willing to learn unless they want to learn

[sunchienlee]

I guess it's also partly for myself as well. I just never had a good grasp as to why it's broscience.

[NegatronPrime]

I try to tell my friend (a hardcore bro) occasionally about why hes a phaggot when he mentions anything relating to nutritional broscience.

I end up getting really p!ssed off. So take it from me, dont waste your time trying to convince people who are unwilling to learn.

Erick is right. Most people aren't willing to learn unless they want to learn^Yup, this right here. How about linking him to this thread & inviting him to discuss it? You'll find out really quick whether he wants to learn or not by his response to the idea.

Insulin is teh devil.



On a nonfail note. I almost dropped a dumbbell on my head doing OHP, because I'm secretly watching this 9/10 chick in short shorts do non-weighted hip thrusts.


Wat do nmisc? shud I ask if she wants to try donkey hip thrusts?

Science is not everything, bro. I know because I have been doing it for a gozillion years, so you, an 18 year old punk, can shove these studies up your butt.
I know that when I eat dairy I look smoother and I don't need any studies or tests or your fukking empirical evidence. I will be telling my clients to cut out dairy since it obviously works. There is more than one way to skin a cat and science is not everything.

If there is one thing I know, its that girls definitely love being hit on while they are working out.

Cheek clappin' guaranteed.

^^ Better yet, take some pics, or even video next time you see her. I am sure you will boost her ego and she'll appreciate it ;)

Then you can post cool stuff like this:

Gotta watch getting scratched though, that can lead to cellulitis.

sup lawrence?

going to take the 10am kickboxing class @ the gym on saturday morning again?

i'll be teaching my 11am step class again.

we finally gotta take a "hi nut misc" pic! (..."synthetic loves bagels" pic works, too.) the only thing is that i don't own a digital camera. :S

our express w.georgia/bute fitness world location won that "which location can get the most # of people going to classes" contest card entry thing. so, the free bbq lunch prize is tomorrow (friday) from 12-2. i'm thinking of going & hanging out w/ my supervisor & the other instructors & participants. i've been subbing there since late 2009. & i see them @ the davie/howe location, too. so, feelsgoodman/10. did you say you worked downtown? it's just that it takes me an hour to get downtown & then an hour back. :S BUT...i don't have any training for my other jobs that i just got! (:D :D :D) so, we'll see. i may be too tired. fuuuuu.

:D

yea. it's epic! i've met people from trance message boards at trance shows/concerts when i was younger, too. but it's kinda different. people are usually really shy. i keep an eye out for them, spot them, walk over & say it's me, & then they're all like ":o :o hi :o :o". i dunno. i used to be very shy. but music is music. haha. no need to be intimidated.

[PR1MO]

Any of you on twitter? A PT is spouting some bro crap about cutting fruit out of your diet if you are serious about weight loss, he is also promoting a book he has coming out soon. Dunno if you heard of him but he is an Australian guy who last year deliberately gained a heap of weight so he could lose it and "better understand" his overweight clients. Was tempted to call him out but since he has a book about to launch that is likely full of BS, I doubt he will be willing to change his views.
