Carbs required for growth??

personally since carb foods taste best to me, I like to eat high carb, and I find when eating higher carb I recover quiker, I think insulin spikes are pretty useful for recovery, of course that's not to say you 'need' carbs to get insulin, injecting is also an option... and it can be done without carbs.. but lots of people steer away from this option.
 
The only thing I really do not get about the insulin spike is that I keep reading that post workout carbs that cause an insulin spike can also lower gh production. I cannot figure out which is more anabolic, an insulin spike or more gh.
 
Taking in tons of carbs throughout the day when you are primarily sedentary does little if anything to promote superior muscle growth versus targetted/cyclical carb intake. But it does promote unnecessary fat storage in sensitive individuals (i.e. a large percentage of people not of Asian descent). Carbs are not evil, but the approach to them should be along the lines of the 'work smarter not harder' perspective. Manipulating your carb intake properly allows the most 'bang for your buck.'

I don't believe general hGH secrection to be particularly anabolic based on the fact that many of the guys who do heavy cycles of synthetic hGH with no other drugs report very little in the way of significant muscle gain.
