T-Nationilta artikkelia lukiessani iski silmään tälläinen:
I know, the subtitle above has you making sad little mewling noises while scratching your head (and your round little belly). Everyone's been telling you to eat six meals a day since the day you got interested in creating a buffitudinous body. This bit of advice is so pervasive that it's even trickled down into to mainstream beauty parlor magazines like Glamour and Better Homes and Gardens.
The premise was to never really allow yourself to get hungry and to keep blood sugar levels "steady." The trouble is, there's no evidence to suggest that it works, and there's plenty of evidence that it doesn't work. All you have to do is look around you and see that even in the gym, pudginess rules.
It has to do with insulin, of course. In normal, healthy people, glucose is taken up by the bloodstream and moved into the interior of cells where it's burned as fuel. This process is mediated by insulin, which is produced by the pancreas after you eat a meal. However, in diabetics, glucose builds up in the blood as the cells aren't able to utilize it properly, which is a condition called insulin resistance.
Type II diabetics are plagued by insulin resistance. That means that they can't adequately handle the amounts of glucose in their blood. They've eaten so much or eaten so poorly that the cells are reluctant to utilize sugar, so the stubborn but valiant pancreas keeps producing more and more insulin to no avail. As long as the beta cells of the pancreas are able to throw enough insulin at the cells to overcome the resistance, you're okay; blood glucose can stay in the healthy range. Over time, though, insulin resistance builds up, and it can lead to pre-diabetes or type II diabetes because the beat up cells can't keep up with the increased need for insulin.
Unfortunately, you may already be teetering on the brink of insulin resistance because you've been keeping insulin levels perpetually elevated, courtesy of that "6 meal a day" chestnut that's considered bodybuilding dogma. While your cells were once keenly sensitive to insulin, they've now grown dopey and sluggish like a punch-drunk fighter.
So, if the word "beefy" describes your physique, if you eat carbohydrates indiscriminately, and it would take the combined Navies of the U.S., Australia, and Malaysia to find your missing jetliner of a set of abs, you're probably at least a bit glucose intolerant and insulin resistant.
To change this, consider eating 3 or 4 meals a day instead of 6 . Have a large breakfast with protein, smart fats, and functional carbohydrates, and the same for lunch. Have a mid-afternoon protein "pulse," followed by a dinner of protein and healthy fats. On workout days, do the same thing, except replace your lunch with your peri-workout nutrition plan. Lastly, consider using something to increase insulin sensitivity so that you can eat more (carbohydrates included) while getting leaner and simultaneously more muscular.

Pystyykö kukaan allekirjoittamaan? Oletteko samaa vai erimieltä? :wtf: Jos tämä pitää paikkaansa pitää ainakin itse uusia ''hieman'' annoskokoja.
