at leats you got my question right! insulin makes blood glucose drop.
blood glucose drops because glucose is stuffed into muscle in the form of glycogen. insulin makes you fat, only when you are eating fat. The extent of your workout will diminish fat gains and or put on muscle rendering this statement false unless you are sitting on your ass
now... lets think about whats the difference between normal blood glucose, elevated blood glucose, and below normal blood glucose. normal blood glucose levels have a pretty balance effect of fat/glycogen metabolism in the body. elevated levels put most of the body towards glucose.glycogen. below normal levels puts most of the body towards fat metabolism.
when dieting, you want your body to use fat for fuel. you want it to use, more specifically body fat. how do you get this to happen? well, it cant happen unless blood glucose/insulin is normal or below normal... however it much better to have it below normal, as this is much more protein sparing, and much quicker fat loss. and thats the point of every diet..spare muscle while burning fat. you spare if not gain muscle more so through any bit of training you do to some degree nullifying this concept also
now... carbs and insulin are still needed when dieting. without them you will not end up as full of a body as you could have. the glycogen gives yoru body a source of glucose to use instead of amino acids when BG is low or normal(normal BG means no glucose is entering the body and body is using metabolic hormones to convert body stores iinto glucose at a perfect rate to keep BG at the perfect level). the insulin shoves amino acids into muscle, and also primes up your body for fat metabolism...by inhibiting cortisol, increasing thyroid hormones, increasing water content in muscle...etc.
but carbs , when eaten, raise blood sugar. which is not what we want when trying to drop fat! so how do we get carbs and still drop fat... well it seems the best way to do it is the carbs in to the muscle and out of the bloodstream as fast as posisble, this way you have the least amount of time with elevated BG and insulin as possible.... and consequently, when BG rises high, generally a period of hypoglycemia occurs shortly after....as a result of too much insulin for the load of carbs (because a greta amount of BG is rising quickly, body assumes a really big load of carbs is coming... ) Yes the best way to apply this thought is to work out after the food you eat
however the body only release certain amount of slin and certain amount of counteracting hormones...and generally the spike inslin and the drop in BG are very small and unconsequential and BG stays elevated for quite some time
