Banzas Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 I don't think it's good to create insulin spikes in the morning because you're metabolism is "waking up". I eat low GI food for breakfast (they're absorved slowly) and I'm satisfied for more time. If you eat high GI foods in the morning probably you're going to be hungry faster so if you want to wake up faster drink a strong coffee.I read in many foruns recomendations about low GI food for breakfast or before workouts and high GI food + protein after workout (maybe creating insulin spike to prevent catabolism processes and create more anabolism?)I'm not a nutritionist so i'm everything is wront someone tell me, I love to learn Nuno Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Larry Roseman Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 what do you think about high Gi breakfest for waking up faster?is it good?what do you recommend for breakfest?i currently eating on breakfestsalad and whole wheat bread sandwich with one of these: (avocado / omlet / eggs and potatos)what do you recommend?thanks!You're certainly not eating a high-GI breakfast now. The avocado and eggs see to that. The potatoes on theirown might be, but are not high GI in the context of the meal.What's going on after you have this meal? Do you feel tired or lethargic, or full of energy and ready to take on the world? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Roseman Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Any carbs you eat with a meal, even fast carbs, will be moderated bythe fat and protein in the meal. It's not going to make a big differencein terms of insulin response. If it did you might find yourself more tired afterit comes down though. Fruit with breakfast or immediate upon waking up is a good idea time-wise though.That might help you wake up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
igalk474 Posted June 19, 2012 Author Share Posted June 19, 2012 thanks!great idea!,didn't thought of it,i'll add fruits with next to my salad at the morningprobably strawberries/berries/banana/apple/mangowill be greati'll start doing it this morningcan you eleborate about:"Any carbs you eat with a meal, even fast carbs, will be moderated bythe fat and protein in the meal.

yuri marmerstein Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 I do well eating little to no carbs for breakfast, it absorbs slowly, and keeps me full and energized for a whileThis way you can also keep insulin sensitivity up until post-workout. My recent breakfasts have been 3-4 extra large eggs scrambled, a handful of mixed greens, and a few tablespoons of mediterranean 3-layer dip which consists of pesto, sun dried tomatoes, and feta-cheese Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Larry Roseman Posted June 20, 2012 Share Posted June 20, 2012 Poliquin is ok with fruit for breakfast too.It's a good jump start. I personally don't like to in choke down 100% protein and fat mealsfirst thing. Like something fresh and light, like you are mentioning. I'll have my main breakfastan hour after, usually. What I meant saying the GI of carbs is moderated by protein and fat eaten with it, becausethings slow digestion and absorption. Even a fast carb will act more slowly due to this.
