Article: Getting A Grip On Cortisol

If ur doing IF dieting, not really though.

Drink BCAA's during fasted period and ur good. No muscle loss, extended fat burning.

But BCAAs increase insulin, no?

Actually, Leucine does not need insulin to make it to the muscle cell and exact its anabolic properties on the cell.

I think the insulin response is null. I'll have to verify that but I'm thinking its more broscience than anything.

Also, just use leucine, because isoleucine competes with leucine and reduces its uptake into the muscle by as much as 40%.

Thanks for the input. I've just read that leucine is what causes the increase in insulin which is why whey spikes insulin as much as white bread.

But BCAA's really doesnt cause a crash in blood sugar like white breads can.

Just sip on them alittle bit either before the end of the fast or load up on them throught the feeding period.
 
I have skipped the EAA and BCAA's during the fasting period. Read the article again, no aminos or protein during the fast. I just take my Shred XT for my caffeine, since I don't like coffee, with my MCT's or Heavy Wipping Cream..
 
If you have cortisol that is elevated enough to effect your gains that is a medical issue. Consult a doctor not a guru.
 
skip breakfeast, I'd rather skip all this useless conflicting information
 
How is it these articles cite all these research results to back up their claims yet every other article I read contradicts the next?
I mean, is this an issue with bad research or just the way it's interpreted?

If the research has been done and results apparently clear, wouldn't every fitness guru or author have the same opinion ?

Makes no sense.....

Usually jumping to a conclusion when there are significant holes in the study.

Problem is, scientists and biologists are people too and they wanna get credit for finding something, so having a takeaway from every single study is important to them, even if results should be labeled "inconclusive".

Good point...
 
This used to be a good site for great information. Now it seem like there are articles that push bad ideas. I think I even seen one that said being a vegan was a good idea. Maybe i need to start looking at who the author is on these crazy articles.
 
Well, this forum stopped pushing the envelope of knowledge in fitness. It now pursues what is mainstream, commonly known as "sound" practice rather than trying new things, questioning old ideas, bring back old ideas, modifying practices and recording results (aka experimenting).

This site just doesnt have a curious mind anymore. Everyone has a one track mind and doesnt veer of the familiar path of approaches anymore.

Every time I propose a fresh idea, it gets slammed with one or two vague, hardly appropriate studies, diets etc. People just arent able to think for themselves anymore and arent open to change or adjustment at all.
