Well...as far as AP goes, Im pretty familiar with the purpose. I've been taking it for about a month or 2 now and havent really noticed "that great" of results but, that would could have to do with my lower carb diet at this point.
Now, its said that one should take AP 15minutes before a meal of atleast 30g carbs. Now...depending on the GI load of this minimal carb meal (if lets say your taking 30g), at which rate it crosses the threshold, AP wouldn't really have to much effect on the partioning of those 30g unless either the GI load is very high OR the amount is larger then 30g?
Isn't it a waste to use AP with a low gi, complex carb meal of only 30g's? Aside from a possible marketing ploy saying, no no go ahead you can use it with that amount this and that...how is AP beneficial for only 30g of complex low gi load carbs? It seems as if it makes more sense that for it to take true effect to flush the muscle, one would need atleast 50g or more when blood sugars would become more unbalanced and possible transport to adipose to have AP to save the day and transport through the intended path?
My point is...if one is breaking carbs up properly throughout their day with minimal intake all together, blood sugar will be very stable if the diet is organized properly. AP wouldnt have that great of effect on a day to day basis for this person? But when this person is dieting with more carbs in his meals, AP will be able to do a much better job of partioning and not transporting to adipose as blood sugar levels will be a bit more unbalanced and AP will be there to help shuttle nutrients where needed?
Second part....yellow gold! Where can YG play into the role above? On larger carb days can one combine AP for its own specific effects with the added tannins etc combined with a low dose of YG to swallow a 60-130g meal of carbs efficiently.
Im not to up on the YG end of things. Dosing and amount per meal, etc etc...
I would greatly appreciate it if anyone would like to get into this with me a bit
Feel free to chime in with what you know! Every bit helps...
