caffine

[fits]

i just found out that caffine spikes insulin like carbs do, but does any one know to what degree? is it people trying for ketosis that have to avoid? or should we all be avoiding caffine?

and does consuming your caffine with proteins and fats slow down the spike as they do with carbs?

I cant give up caffine at the moment, just drinking a strong one right nowl lol but i have only slept for 4 hours in the last two days (maybe its the caffine? lol) so i need it!

You`ve only just worked that one out.............how long you been training??????????????????/



No ome caffiene is good pre workout especially...some for blood sugar probs should avoid if possible or use sparingly...as for keto diets you can use caffiene at the begining to help you get into ketosis quicker...imo...then dump it for the rest of the week....

Could do but it would only be a small drop nothing dramatic as the caffiene is liquid so the body would be able to process it quicker.

Try switching to green tea....

I have had a hard time sleeping the last two days, i think im going to give the coffee a miss other than on training day, going to be real hard to drop the ginger tea though! love the stuff! saying that, how much difference can ONE cup make in the AM with breakfast?

does the same sort of effect happen with decafe?

It does if you put enough spoonfulls into the cup

Theres still some caffiene even in decafe....I think its about 1/4-1/2 the regular amount....
