This study is so important and so valuable in the on-going battle to understand why we gain weight, lose muscle, risk diabetic onset, and more.
Energy deficit after exercise augments lipid mobilization but does not contribute to the exercise-induced increase in insulin sensitivity
The entire study can be read at: Articles in PresS. J Appl Physiol (December 31, 2009). doi:10.1152/japplphysiol.01106.2009
The primary aim of this study was to compare the effects of exercise-induced energy deficits. The findings of this study confirm previous work demonstrating that consuming low carbohydrate content in meals after exercise prevents the restoration of muscle glycogen concentration the next morning, and significantly increased insulin sensitivity the next day.
Generally speaking, after exercise your body is nitrogen-poor and your muscles have been broken down. That’s why you need amino acids from high quality animal proteins like humanely raised organic free range chicken, grass fed beef and eggs, as well as vegetable carbohydrates.
It’s important to combine a quality protein and a carb (veggie type) together in every meal, no matter whether it’s a resistance training day, an interval cardio day, or a non-workout day.
We have been educating people about carbohydrate balance for many years and it’s wonderful to see research of this kind being done and published. If we can help you with your dietary approach, please contact us.
