Has anyone every used Metformin while in ketosis. I just read an article on the subject that claims you can take 50g of carbs with Metformin during a pre workout meal without getting thrown out of ketosis.
Which GDA's do you use? I've never taken any and want to check them out.Metformin is great for BLOCKING carbs and so yes it's great for insulin sensitivity and keeping blood sugar down.
Bodybuilders who do a CKD don't want to block carbs during their carb ups. Maybe during a cheat meal yes.
I've used real GDA's during carb ups and let me tell you, the pumps were insane. You want to be pumping your glycogen stores full, not blocking them.
With that being said, Metformin is ok during cheat meals if you don't mind diareah and lowered testosterone.
I've used NA-R-ALA, yellow gold, and glycobol (which is a combo of stuff).Which GDA's do you use? I've never taken any and want to check them out.
I've used Burn24 which I thought was ok. I get a better pump and vascularity with a combo of Follidrone 2.0 along with Jarrow formulas bitter melon extract, insane stack for glucose control fo me...

I've heard good things about Slinsane though. A couple others have also been spoken about on this board that've caught my interest but I can't remember off the top of my head
Do you dose a GDA after your carb-ups to help enter ketosis faster? That's something I might need to try out, like a pre-bed dose at the end of a carb up day or something. Not you got me thinking... lol.GDA's aren't necessary but they definitely speed up the process in switching the body into ketosis the first 9 days can suck, so may as well cut that in half.
I find they're good when doing mini carb-ups around workouts too as they can help prevent you from getting kicked out of ketosis.
Yup I usually take GDA's with my carbs (during the carb up) and then again at night, but also daily the first week or two of a CKDDo you dose a GDA after your carb-ups to help enter ketosis faster?

And yeah I agree, using a GDA while doing TKD is definitely beneficial. Most CKD diets don't have mini carb ups around workouts though. But if you're doing TKD that would be very helpful
