One of the non bro-science things out there is that you can't burn fat while insulin is high. Is this really true? Or is it more like you body is going to burn sugar while your blood sugar is high (which normally comes with high insulin to reduce it).
3 things got me wondering this.
1st there is the bro-science theory that fasted cardio burns more fat. But some have taken this a step further and take a very small dose of insulin before the fasted cardio- skating the edge of hypo during the cardio session. Again, it has been reported that this state burns fat very rapidly.
2nd there are Concrete Guys great posts using Lantus to re-comp on a keto diet, thus building muscle and leaning out at the same time.
Finally there are the new long lasting insulins being marketed stating that while they aren't intended for weight loss users have experienced weight loss.
Thoughts?
