Cutting on Insulin, How do you do it?

[SWOLNUTZ]

I guess I would say I felt stronger on those days but I also have more carbs than I do on all other days so thats probably the main factor. Pumps are great though.

I have definitely noticed more fullness. I'm still experimenting with the optimum amount to take. 5 IUs is a little much. 3 IUs was ok. 4 IUs might be just right.

Overall, I think I can definitely cut on insulin based off my results so far

You sure can...with some injectable L-carnitine too

In car at the gym...
5iu humalog
3 ml synthetine

Then sip 40g hbcd, 20g EAA, 5g creatine throughout workout

Obviously some kind of caloric deficit is also necessary.

Are you a big fan of the synthetine? How do you think it helps (in your experience)?

I don't see how peptides could be faster. Peptides are essentially chains of amino acids. So if the amino acids are the smaller component (in the same way a simple sugar is a smaller component of a starch) then I'd be willing to bet the small block amino acids would digest faster.

Hbcd and Vitargo and such complex carbs digest faster than dextrose eg. glucose/blood sugar. I'm too lazy to start looking for data on the peptides vs free form individual aminos.

Di and tri peptides are digested faster than free form aminos. There was a paper published on it

Tiny doses 2-3iu pre workout with intra workout 15-20g EAA, 10g carbs or so and some glutamine can keep you from going hypo. Anti-catabolic and you won’t have to add excess carb calories

1-2x a week shouldn’t slow fat loss much.
