New at BFL! Insulin Spike/L-Glutamine - have hyperinsulinemia
Hi Everyone!
I started BFL a week ago with my other half! For late risers, it was a killer getting up at 6.00am to exercise but we did it and it gave us immense satisfaction to know what we had accomplished!
I've been greedily reading everyones posts and found them so fascinating. Today we went out and stocked up on our protein powder as we are now going through it at a faster rate! We also bought some Redback Muscle Stack (it's an Australian product) as I've been reading how important it is to replenish L-Glutamine and to use carbs to get an insulin spike so that you don't cause your muscle breakdown.
The Muscle Stack includes per serving:
(32g of carb)
8g of creatine
1.5g HMB
5g L-Glutamine
200mg ALA
3g D-Ribose
3g Taurine
100mg Magnesium
22g Dextrose
10g Glucose Polymers
250mg Vitamin C
1g Tyrosine
300mcg Chromium Picolinate
3mg Beta Carotene
3g BCAA's
50mg Calcium
300mcg Phosphorous
60mg Stevia
200mg Inulin
400mg Glycine
It says on the lable to take a serve 1 hour before training and one serve 1/2 hour after training.
As I am doing BFL, I am not sure if I should be having any before training, or if I should just have one serve an hour after training (BFL says to wait an hour). Also, I have hyperinsulinemia and so am not sure if a whole serving would be too much for me. I am aware that with so much training I need more carbs than I would if I wasn't but not sure if I should have so many at once.
Thanks in advance for any help!
