general question about insulin

[Mike_Rojas]

I didn't mean to imply I wrote that myself.. I just thought it answered bigsteve's question.

Oh hell no, people. I'm not calling anyone out. I was just stating that this version is going to be biased toward the author's intent, which was to prevent chronic illness by promoting a low carb diet.

Insulin use, timing, supplementation, etc...for a bodybuilder is a different, and far more complex, game.

Rojas...not calling you out at all. It's a very informative article, thanks for posting it.

Oh good, I thought I was in trouble . I had a bad problem with hypoglycemia which I corrected by lowering my percentage of carbs in my diet. Actually I got the article here

and a dumbass....I still let you hang though...lol

hey about your post on the cell purging...it doesn't make sense to me b/c I always thought that the number of fat cells a person had was predetermined and did not change, unless certain drugs or surgeries were invoked....so is this wrong...fat cells stay constant but the fullness of said cells changes?

i think the fat cell thing is debateable...even so, you can still feed it; it will grow

 

[spatts]

I thought it increased and decreased fat receptors, which affects the existing distribution of fat cells and their size.

see, i agree with spatts, however, if you take 10 different nurtition books, half will say you are born with a certain amount, the other half say they can multiply..

 

[spatts]

I think they can multiply up until adolescence, but then after that, they tend to increase in mass, not quantity.

agree
