[QUOTE="LaoDan, post: 2445367, member: 524245"] Yeah, I’ve done tons of experiments lol. Heavy lifting always gives me a raise whether I carb load or not. Sometimes I do eat some carbs pre workout, sometimes not depending on my mood/energy. Post workout, I can eat a birthday cake, rice, chocolate milk, potatoes or whatever. I’m back in the 4s within an hour of my workout. I’ll run in the 3s-4s until the next workout. I’ve tested this many times with a CGM. My goal was to find the best amount of carbs to restore glycogen and aid in recovery. leg day, I eat 25grams pre, 30-50 grams post. Upper body, nothing pre, 30-50 grams post. All other meals are no/trace carbs. this works pretty good, I can recover well. My last A1c was 5.1%. Plug in a sensor and you can make adjustments for you [/QUOTE]
