For my own reasons, I've wanted to consume no carbohydrates until the evening and only eat protein/fat meals throughout the day. One of the reasons is to capitalize on fat burning throughout the day as insulin levels are low upon rising.
Would consuming BCAA's in the morning nullify this? I know they spike insulin, but is it significant enough to flip the switch, so to speak, and have the body go back to burning carbs for energy? Reading on the internet there doesn't seem to be a clear answer. Fat cannot be burned in the presence of insulin, but I'm wondering if there is a misconception between a standalone insulin spike from aminos and protein and the blood glucose rise one gets from carbohydrates.
Any input would be appreciated, thank you.
