Dextrose

[kulio]

Just curious how long a spike lasts from lets say 25g of dextrose? or is that even enough to get a spike?

I'm cutting right now so lately i've been mixing a little over 1/8 cup of dextrose (25g carbs) with my protein shake (50g protein) after a work out.

How long should I wait before consuming any fat

thanks in advance

I dont think 25 is enough to get a spike in insulin,,, but that is just in my body,,, go with what you feel

yeah I think you need at least 50g for a decent spike, which will last about 1.5-2 hours. Muscletechs , cell-tech seems to rave that 75g is the optimum for insulin spike but that could well be a load of crap.
