Gaspari Size-On During Work-out = insulinemic peak = more harm than good ?

[intruso]

Hi mates. I would like to share my doubt:

I'm taking Size-on from Gaspari. they say to take during work-out or right after work-out. As I take my protein shake with glucose right after work-out I decided to take Size-on during it.

The thing is that Size-on has carbs - probably fast ones - and I know that giving insulinemic boost when working out is not the best thing you can do. And after work-out giving another one (with the protein shake) shouldn't be also ok.

Do you agree with me?

If so, the best way to take creatine+sugar products should be after work-out, wait 10 minutes and they drink the protein shake without simple carbs?

Thanks!

Yeah, why not skip the carbs with your protein if you feel you get enough with the sizeon and is ok with taking it after your workout.

end well this will not

[intruso]

end well this will not

LOL ?! Why not...It was a good advice I think!

[user98511001541]

why do you think that the carbs would be bad during your workout?????????

[Joe D]

When I first started taking sizeon 3 years ago, I use to take it everyday asdid everybody back then. When I went to the doctor for a check up, my resting blood sugar was 73. Before that it was 88. Sizeon helped lower my blood sugar.

taking insulin before a workout and having no carbs, or not enough, is very bad. drinking carbs to force an insulin spike doesn't do the same thing.

You don't think working out in itself may have helped? Did you have bloodwork done prior to compare? Just asking.

This ^. Working out had more to do with lowering your resting blood sugar then SizeOn did. Not saying it didn't contribute at all but.....

i drink no synthesize during my workour....assuming that boosts insulin more correct?

The big question is:

Doesn't it make more harm than good to create insuline spikes and crashes during Work-Out? I've read somewhere else that it wasn't good! Better "save" those spike for Post-Workout Shake.

Muscle contractions from exercise cause something called non-insulin mediated glucose uptake, which causes the glucose transporters to move from the inside of the cell to the cell wall thereby allowing nutrients in. Usually insulin would do this, but exercise does it without needing insulin, which typically gets blunted somewhat from exercise anyway. So during exercise simple sugars probably don't cause the same rise in insulin that they would in the non-exercising state.

I had been working out for about 2 years before I started using sizeon. I had my blood drawn a year before if I remember and my resting blood sugar was 88. The next time I had it drawn it was 73. And like I said at the time I was taking sizeon everyday.

I drink water during my workout. If you look at all the big guys in the gym they all drink water during their workouts.

That doesnt mean anything.

[triplewhammy]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't palatinose (the primary carb) actually a low-GI sugar? Almost like the inverse of malto?

Interesting, thanks for the reply.

If it's palatinose they're using....you're right... but on the ingredient list there is no palatinose....

lulz... strong flawed logic.

Actually I see tons of "big guys" drinking intra work out drinks.

[MBSowards]

By this logic, if I look at all the 150lb guys in the supplement section using steroids, I should use steroids to lose weight?

I'm nitpicking, but I think you mean cell membrane. Mammals (or any other sort of animal) do not have cell walls.

Also, look up any Gatorade study for the benefits of carbs during athletic performance.

Come one now. My cell phone keeps away terrorists! Ever since I got my new cell phone, there hasn't been a terrorist attack on US soil! Confounding variables for the win! Perhaps three years of training made you healthier?

Yes, first ingredient is Palatinose.

Palatinose has a GI of 32 which is awesome. I will admit, SizeOnv2 MP is starting to grow on me.... Orange Cooler flavor is VERY good when mixed with the proper amount of cold water.

Yes, you are nitpicking but you are also correct. Good spot.

[naturalguy]

Carbs during the workout can only benefit you.


Remember with Size On you are sipping on the carbs slowly over the course of your workout, you are not slamming it all at once.

Yeah plants have them
