OK, after my workout.. I want to get protein and creatine to my muscles.. I understand this is best done when creating an insulin spike.. and I can do this with high gi sugars.. (like a banana?)
soo.. in my postworkout shake.. I can use a banana (or 2?).. some soy milk, peanut butter, soy protein isolate... creatine...
now the sugars from the banana should creatine insulin spike and carry that to muscles.. but.. what happens to the sugars? do they get converted to fat? what about complex carbs do they also get converted to fat? .... now I baught some brewers yeast.. and I've read about it's benefits in aiding insulin to help prevent calories from being stored as fat and help promote their use for lean muscle gain, and I've also read about cinnamon helping properly digest sugars so they are not formed as FAT... but
will adding brewers yeast and or cinnamon to the shake.. cause less insulin to be released.. therefore creatine and protein moved to muscles less efficiently? or does the same amount of insulin get released... just the chromium in brewers yeast and cinnamon help prevent fat from settling, by aiding the insulin? I've read a number of articles and am unclear about that specific point.. also after an insulin spike is it a good idea to not have complex carbs within a few hours after? how long does the insulin spike last? .. I hope someone can help me out here.. thanks...
