I know when insulin is present your body doesnt want to burn fat so it seems logical if you are dieting to use humalog post workout/cardio. So if I train for a hour and then afterwards do 30min cardio and when finished inject my slin and have pwo drink followed by fat free diet for 5hrs can the slin impact any fat burned from the workout cardio? I guess what Im asking is after my training and 30min cardio, when finished does my body normally continue to burn fat? I figure after my normal protocol with no slin I still have a waxy maize/protein shake which will spike natural insulin and blunt fat burning so using humalog shouldnt be any diff except much more anabolic. Would be wise to add it frequently when dieting post workout only or limit it due to its effect on burning fat?
Curious about this too because I currently use preWO while adding mass. But come November I will stop bulking and will be cutting calories back gradually. I would think that pinning 5-10iu pwo with regular shake then scheduled fat fre meals would prove to be a great recipe to get the most out of your post workout supps and food.

Exactly. It makes zero sense to completely neglect the benefits obtained with pre-workout slin, when one can experience all benefuts of both pre and post workout slin administration with a single pre-workout inject of Humilin R.
It is clear that there are unique benefits derived by pre-workout slin, which cannot be obained by post-workout adminitsration, but taking it pre-workout allows the user to take advantage of ALL benefits....both pre & post.
Humalog preWO for me, I keep it fairly moderate...5-8iu for arms (most people would suggest not using it on arms day but they are my weakest bodypart atm) and 10-12iu for back.
Previously I was doing 10-15iu on legs, back and chest/delt days.
I keep it EOD at the most, and use metformin when I can (have it) as well
PreWO goes perfectly with proper peri workout nutrition (particularly intraWO) in the form of something premade like intraMD or a homemade version which I tend to use
20g EAAs
50-100g HBCD (depending on bodypart)
+creatine, glutamine and half a scoop of an older VPX shotgun formula that had citrulline malate, beta alanine and leucine in it
Nice plan, well thought out and researched
And that's what every diabetic does also.. well at least the 4 in my family. ...I always just drink apple juice with my Slin shots.
Never have any problems.
I asked a friend of mine this and below was his response. I still can't figure out if pwo slin will effect fat loss if take pwo/post cardio:
Endogenous (naturally produced) insulin begins working seconds, not minutes, after it is secreted. Because of the location of the pancreas, endogenous insulin absorbs first into the liver circulation, where it has its greatest immediate impact, then travels through the bloodstream to the muscles and other organs. Its “peak” is in a couple of minutes, and it is cleared from the bloodstream a few minutes later. Very rapid. Compare that to “rapid-acting” insulins (Novolog, Humalog, Apidra), which take several minutes to start working, peak in 45 minutes to two hours, and take anywhere from 3-6 hours to completely finish working. Not nearly as rapid/refined.
