insulin and low carbs

rugal · Feb 9, 2003

wanted to know if anyone has tried this and what kind of results were achieved?

There is

There is a cool keto typed diet the utalized insulin to drive protein into the muscle cell, the results were fat loss, and mild muscle gain, I think it is on meso or elitefitness.

yeah its called MKD its on the EF diet board. its geared towards fatloss im lookin more into mass gains though with little fat. ive used insulin it just seemed after a couple of weeks the gains were more fat than muscle

oliver starr and l rea have lots to say about it, look at musclemonthly.com and meso-rx.com

read both

Rea's and Starr's articles on insulin and low carbs. i am still confused on the fats issue. insulin should not be taken with additional fats because essentially the diets they propose are super high protein, moderate fats from EFA and low carbs 50grams or so a day. do you take those carbs with the shot or just protein with it?

Anyone have a link to the diet of low carbs while taking insulin.

Sounds interesting BUT YIKES>

I do 10 to 14 IUs with carbs and still find myself sometimes going hypo to a small degree, that Clen like feeling. Guys who have gone hypo will know what I am talking about.

I dont now but i will never try it, i am agree with crowler, if hipo comes taking carbs imagine what happend without carbs.
No way man there is something else, maibe low carbs diet but you have to take maltodextrin or other thing to avoid hipo...
This is very dangerous and i prefer the old way....

and remember.......
......There is no space for the littles !!!!!!!!

Hmm

I think on the MR X plan you only go as high as 5iu's. THe idea is that you dont take any carbs in, and by using the insulin and whey first thing in the mourning you shuttle tons of aminos into the muscle, therefore it can grow and repair.

It is intersting on paper. I hate slin though.
