Insulin spiking Anonymous
What's a good food to use for spiking insulin when taking creatine? I know juice is normally recommended, but juice is kind of expensive. Is there any cheaper alternative? If not, I guess I'm going to buy some grape juice in the next couple days.

This might be a stupid question, but why do you need to spike isulin while taking creatine?

I usually use BSN's version of creatine.. Called Cellmass.

But if I just use creatine monohydrate, I take it with sugar and salt..

i got the last one at Sam's, it was $9/10....and it's lasted well over 2 weeks with TONS left to go. I use it daily preworkout with creatine and BCAA powder.

got the batch before that at publix, that was $8 something...smaller size of course, but they have fruit punch flavor and sams only had lemon lime....gotta take your pick between flavor and $$$.

how does it feel to spend 35 dollars a month on creatine? Not so good I bet

err anyone else? I looked at walmart (where I work -.- )

and the gatorade powder made a gallon but costs like $2.60 after my discount. I may as well just buy juice then? wtf?

The gatorade is a good idea, probably the easiest and fastest way to get an insulin spike. Really though, any food with sugar in it will get your blood glucose up. Lots of juices or chocolate milk have a lot of sugar in them and will digest almost as quickly as the gatorade. Solid carbs will do as well, but won't dissolve as quickly as the liquids.

fructose does NOT trigger insulin secretion like other sugars. dextrose and sucrose are good ones.
