Should I put together a low-glycemic shake for PWO to avoid an insulin spike while trying to lower body fat?

Thanks,

You should use a bcaa product during your workout and have a whey iso shake pwo. No pwo carbs. Have your next scheduled meal when you get home. You have the right idea wanting to control insulin while cutting. Not sure on your dietary strategy, but if you are doing a low carb diet with a carb refeed every three to four days you do not need the carbs pwo imo. The key here is the bcaas intra workout. 5-10 grams at least. The more the better imo.

x2 to this.

If you do decide to have carbs PWO, you may want to skip the carb-up day that SL referred to and simply keep a low carb/high protein diet 7 days a week.

The key here is getting:
1. enough protein
2. low overall calories

I do this or have introduced it in the past 3 weeks, I'm liking it very much... what i do is take the bcaa free form in the form of pills right after i walk off the gym floor to the locker room, consume, and return to do cardio for 20 minutes at 50-60% intensity..

Be warned though, the danger of going hypo is significant.. that was lots of fun yesterday..

good times..

Throw those BCAAs in some water and sip them... makes for a tasty and convenient drink

Xtend and ICE are two of my recommendations

get something flavored if you plan it tasting good. Raw powders taste like ass. I use raws and drink it but I don;t mind it tasting like ass. Many do though.

That's why Xtend is good. It doesn't taste like garbage and the BCAA's are quality.

Pick up a big jug of apple or watermelon extend. Sip 6 scoops before and during your workout. The BCAA and Citrulline malate is a killer combo intra workout. Xtend plus 5 Amp02 was giving me the sickest pumps when i was cutting. I was eating very low cho too.

hmmm.. I'll have to give that a go.. only bcaa's i've had tasted so nasty i couldnt take it.. thus the choice in pills, which i don't like.

I'll hook it up.. thanks

I've been testing out PWO carbs while on palumbo keto diet. So far, I must say I am happy with it.

I switched from a CKD to basically a palumbo TKD. My fat loss seems to be about the same as it was on CKD... But there are some huge differences.

1) When I am on a CKD... The day of my carb up I look good, the day after I look okay... But after that I start to look really flat.

2) I'm not able to put on any LBM while on CKD.

On the other hand, with the TKD I never look flat... My muscles are always full. I stay in ketosis. About 2 hours after my PWO shake I am still pissing trace ketones.... By that night I am pissing small or moderate ketones... Which is a good thing.

Plus I have increased LBM and strength over the past 2 weeks since switching to the TKD. And I am down 4lbs of fat mass.

As opposed to my average of a 2.5lbs loss while on CKD per week. Maybe the CKD might be a little more effective, but just by a hair.

I'd rather look full, still have capability of gaining LBM, and lose close to the same amount of fat mass.

Just something to think about that has been working for me pretty well.
