If I'm going to go do a hard workout or I'm going to go hike for a long period of time, higher carbohydrates tend to be best.

So that's another thing.

makes sense justin you're like low to moderate also right yeah i'm low to moderate and really it is determined on movement and and so if i am if i know that i have like a really hard workout or i have some kind of like crazy physical activity like i will bump my carbs just naturally and that's just something i kind of fluctuate with you know naturally on its own awesome here's another thing too uh and this is with with timing carbohydrate timing

It could be awesome for people who are very consistent with their workouts.

Bookend your workouts with carbohydrates.

So, you know, carbohydrates an hour or two before your workout, and then that gives you the energy and fuel to have a great workout, and the data supports this, okay, very clearly.

Especially if it's going to be a hard workout, an hour or two before makes a difference in your performance.

And then right after your workout.

Why right after your workout?

Because you're very sensitive to...

You will suck up those carbohydrates.

Your muscles are like sponges.

Does it speed up recovery?

Does it help build more muscle?

Maybe.

Data suggests that it might.

It probably does.

I just like the insulin sensitivity.

I like to be very sensitive to insulin when I eat my carbohydrates.

Why?
