HERE'S A QUESTION FOR YOU BROS, DOES INSULIN INCREASE PROTEIN ABSORBTION AND ALLOW YOU TO INGEST MORE PROTEIN. MOST BROS WILL SAY THAT YOUR BODY CAN ONLY DIGEST ABOUT 30-40 GRAMS OF PROTEIN PER MEAL. BUT WILL TAKING INSULIN SHOTS INCREASE YOUR BODY'S ABILITY TO CONSUME MORE PROTEIN PER MEAL? SAY LIKE 75 OR MORE GRAMS OF PROTEIN PER MEAL?     | ||

Interesting question. I guess the subsequent release of IGF1 would help in protein uptake...on a related note I know guys who swear by using slin and t-3 at the same time while bulking. | ||

Think of it this way: Feeding your body is like running a trucking line. The truck you are driving is called insulin. It is delivering special cargo called amino acids. When the truck arrives at its destination, the cargo is unloaded by the porter, thyroid. In order to get more done quickly you need the biggest truck that will fit on the road, traveling as fast as possible, deliving the best cargo and handled as quickly as possible. Increasing just one step in this chain is possible, but increasing all of them (safely) is ideal. | ||

being diabetic, i've been taking insulin for the last 12 years. i don't understand why BBers take it. if you don't, your pancreas will pump out the correct amount to supplement your carb intake anyway. if it ain't, well, you're diabetic like me. all it's doing is taking some of the burden off your pancreas. so, take 100 carbs after workout, pancreas pumps out rougly the equivelant of 10 UIs of humalog. take insulin and the pancreas doesn't have to do anything. who can explain to me scientifically/medically what advantages an injection of insulin has over natural production? | ||

My understanding is that you can inject much more than your body can produce naturally. Like using insulin boosters, only better. Lack of insulin is a problem with stuff like creatine, that's why they add alpha lipoic acid to it. | ||

Obviously since insulin is "the storage hormone" it will help your body overcompensate when you eat protein and carbs. The answer is yes nahanrac's statement is also correct.... Bodybuilders use insulin because they take in much more insulin than the pancreas can produce. ------------------ [This message has been edited by DREXX (edited January 11, 2001).] | ||

if your body can't produce enough insulin to handle all your diet, guess what? you're diabetic! | ||

No chOke you are not a diabetic if your body doesn't produce as much insulin as you want it to!!! It's just with higher insulin levels the muscle tissue is more willing to "absorb" the nutrients. Say eating the same meal with or without insulin a non-insulin dependent person will still absorb more nutrients with the insulin. Also some bodybuilders use it to get a low blood sugar and then they can eat as much as they want. It's great for the appetite but dangerous as hell. I read that Aids patients have started to use insulin along with AAS to increase appetite and weight. ------------------ | ||

See the post on protein consumption posted by Showtime2000. I would love to go into detail here and explain the whole protein absorbtion mess but I will just tell you to read that thread. I explained everything in detail. I practially wrote a book under that thread about this subject. -Stew | ||

Using exogenous insulin allows nutrients and glycogen stores to be updated immediately. This is highly beneficial post-exercise when glycogen stores are depleted. Without supplying insulin externally, the body will make enough on its own, but not quickly enough as to "stuff" the muscles full of goodness. Its more parlor trick than anything. |
