What to eat when training

A recent online study has found that insulin sensitivity is affected by what is eaten after a workout.

Eating a low carb meal after a training session increases insulin sensitivity, making it easier for the body to take up sugar from the blood and store it in muscle for use as fuel.This is a good thing!

Low insulin sensitivity or insulin resistance can increase the risk for type 2 diabetes and heart disease. So, having a low carb dinner after an exercise can go a long way to improving your metabolic health. Which means, you don't have to starve yourself after a workout in order to benefit from the exercise.
