What's up all. I'm 26 yrs old, 242 lbs, and about 22% bf. I have been thinking about trying insulin, but a couple of the sources I have read warn that insulin can make bacon boys even more fat?

I happen to like fattening foods. I was wondering if I stay away from fat for the 4 hours post insulin injection if that would keep the fat away? Or do I just need to stay away from fat altogether?

Here is something I found in Monsters Thread:
Insulin isnt hard to use, but it must be used right. Humalin R will hit you in about 1/2 hour and will peak at 4 hours
(by sub-q).
The general concensus has always been 10g of carbs per I.U., though this is actually far more than is needed. For
beginners, 10g is a good way to go, till you understand better what is happeneing with it. Ive used insulin for
years, and have never had any near-death experiances... but you MUST do it right.
Start out with no more than 5 I.U. right after your workout, and at no other time. This way you get a feel for it.
Right after the shot, take in 50g of carbs, mostly simple, but a little complex is good (that is a topic for another
day ). BE VERY AWARE OF THE TIME! At the 4 hour post injection point, the "R" will peak, meaning it will be at its
strongest potency. At this point, a mixed meal of carbs and protien is the best thing for you. 25g of carbs should
be a minimmum, but will more would be good too.
Heres a little insight into how insulin makes so many people fat.
Insulin is a partitioning agent. It takes the nutrients you eat, and sends them where they should go. Carbs get
sent to the glycogen stores (brain, liver, muscles. in that order). Protien gets sent to be assimilated for tissue
repair, and heres the kicker... fat gets sent to fat stores! Yep, any fat you eat during that 4 hours will be
partitioned into fat stores!
This is why I will only use Humalog insuiln. It hits in 15 minutes, and peaks at 1 hour, then it clears your system. So
its a 1 hour window of "food caution" as opposed to 4.
Once you get a feel for insulin, bump this post and we can discuss glucogen overcompensation. (or anyone else
who is interested for that matter)

Monsters right on. I would stay away from fats a few hrs before the shot also. If you diet is strict and clean, it can be a great cutting drug. Diet is the most important thing in any training routine.------------------
