you know whjat the funny thing is?
people argue that the body releases insulin because it thinks something sugary is going to enter the body
and they think that this would cause a decrese in body composition
but they dont understand that if this was to actually happen, if your body would release insulin after drinking a calorie free beverage.... this would actually help IMPROVE body composition
insulin release woudl be a positive effect!!!
ever hear of the controversial application of humalog where it is taken without any carbs, at a very low dose..... it is used to lean people out... before cardio, or whenever.
if you have an increase in insulin, your body's blood glucose will drop below normal, because some of it will have been pushed into storeage- almost always as glycogen in muscle. as a result, you have fuller muscles, and an increase in fat burning hormones. (the fat burning hormone, like GH, are released to elevate blood glucose back to normal)
