Description
Complex carbohydrates should make up the bulk of your daily calorie intake because they form muscle glycogen, the long-lasting fuel that your body needs to train hard. Complex carbohydrates are slow burning which means you get longer lasting energy. They also help keep your blood sugar levels constant, this reduces fat storage and fatigue and promotes the release of insulin which is the body’s natural anabolic Hormone and is essential for muscle development. When you train hard you reduce your blood sugar level considerably. Eating carbohydrates straight after a training session provides your body with an insulin spike. This insulin spike puts your body into an anabolic (muscle building) state. If you do not get the right nutrients after training its possible that your body could enter a catabolic (muscle breakdown) state. This is why post workout nutrition is so important.
