Starting Insulin (Humalog) Questions !

[Wayacrucis]

Hey guys. I've done a lot of research and want some input from more experienced uses before I start.

I am gonna be using Humalog, according to most sources, it activates within 10-15 minutes, peaks at 1-2 hours, and lasts for approx 4 hours.

I am only going be using humalog post work out. Gonna start at 5IU and work up to 10IU.

Post work out, I'll consume 60g Isolate Whey, and 10g of grams per IU of Slin, + 5G Creatine. As far as the Carb source, I have Karbolyn and Dextrose. For fat gains does it matter which one I use? Also does anyone know a powdered fast aborning carb that does not contain sugar like Malo and Dex? Vitargo and Karbolyn are great but very pricey. Is karboload from true nurition fine to use? 1 hour after the shake I'll have a meal with atleast 40-60g of carbs. Followed by another meal about 2-3 hours after.

My questions =

1. Once I consume my shake and an hour later I have my meal. Does it matter what kind of carbs are in the meal? complex or simple? Also with Humalog after I've consumed the meal after my shake, so approx 1 hour 1/2 - 2 hours post injection, am I relatively safe from going Hypo?

2. How important is the timing of the 3rd meal? (Post work out shake being meal 1, and the whole food meal 1 hour post injection being meal 2).

3. I am gonna use Slin 4 weeks on/4 weeks off, reasonable?

4. Extended gut. Assuming I am only gonna be using Slin on a 4 weeks on/4 weeks off basis, only post work out will I susceptible to developing the infamous "gh gut." I am not using GH with my Slin

5. Fat gains - My post work out shake will contain no fats, the meal following that will also contain no fats - following this protocol will I still gain fat from slin?


Thanks for any input guys.

Looks like a solid starting plan

As long as you arnt over eating I dont think you will have an issue wit fat gain

don't use Humalog.
you are almost destined to go hypo and/or over eat.
imo and ime humilin r is more alined to natural eating patterns.
Humalog is so much so fast its hard to keep up with it. to keep up with it most guys consume too much carbs and gains unwanted fat. (happened to me) but with humilin r its bout every 1-2 hours you will feel VERY hungry and if you don't eat you will go hypo. but with Humalog its like you are already hypo. you have to geuss when you need to eat BEFORE the hypo hits.
hard to explain. you will see......

I see. The problem is I train later at night. I leave the gym maybe at 8and sleep around 1-2. So that'll give me 4-5 hours before I sleep. With Humilin I'll risk going hypo during sleep, which I am not willing to risk. With Humalog I'll know after 5 hours I am safe.

I use Humalog while dieting because I can take it post workout, eat a decently large meal, then cut carbs.

You'll be safe on your 3rd hour if you followed the protocols
If you follow Mike Arnold's proto's... you won't have issues. it's when the experimenting starts when people have issues. But if you read carefully Mike Arnold's plan.. going hypo is not going to drop you dead lol if you are aware of the symptoms of hypo and you're in a hurry... down a pepsil.

I would add... a person has to be REALLY mature to do this... a procrastinator will get in trouble fast. Oh and for the love of God... carry glucose tabs wherever you go.

And Make sure you have glucose tabs on hand everywhere you go. I wouldnt use anything but Humalog and you will know when you start going Hypo thats for sure. Some of theproducts are expensive but this is a tricky thing and do you really wanna worry about product quality. Just my opinion.. good luck
