Contrary to popular belief it is not necessary to use refined carbohydrates and sugars to «spike» insulin levels and restore muscle and liver glycogen as rapidly as possible.

While it is clear that unrefined carbs are just as effective as refined high - GI carbs at enhancing recovery and restoring glycogen levels over a 24 hour period, there are certainly times when a simple high - GI shake is warranted.

Ketone levels tend to be higher after extensive aerobic exercise as your body depletes glycogen stores.

This is your body letting go of fluids that were being retained as a result of excessive carbohydrate intake as the body retains more water in response to your body's glycogen levels.

This helps recovery and muscle building, as well as replenishing glycogen and glucose levels.

They do not hydrate you as quickly as water does but are ideal after doing high levels of exercise to quickly replace muscle glycogen stores.

MCTs are thought to increase energy levels during high - intensity exercise and serve as an alternative energy source, sparing glycogen stores.

Rink made estimations on the macronutrient levels based on the amount of annual food consumption, including those imports, and if one excludes the imported bread, barley, peas and sugar from the table, he guessed that the Eskimos were getting 33g of carbs / day from their seal and whale flesh alone (the fresh skin in particular was rich in glycogen and they would often consume it quickly as it arrived onshore).

Taking in about 20 - 40 grams of fast - digesting carbs as soon as you get out of bed will boost insulin and quickly restock your glycogen levels and stop the muscle onslaught.

Professor Tim Noakes considers liver glycogen depletion and subsequent hypoglycemia to be the primary factors affecting fatigue and performance during extended duration races and especially in instances where muscle glycogen levels are low as well.

In addition to those basic supplements, I would also recommend Creatine and Glutamine as these two supplements offer many of the same properties as anabolic steroids (such as increased recovery, increased strength, increased glycogen levels, enhanced immune system and higher nitrogen synthesis) without the side effects as they are not hormones.

Insulin lowers blood glucose levels partly by suppressing the release of glucose from the liver, by increasing glycogen (a kind of starch) synthesis and storage, and by inhibiting glycogen breakdown and the formation of glucose from other sources such as glycerol (from fat), lactate (from the metabolism of fuels like glucose and fructose by the liver and muscles) and amino acids (from proteins) by the process known as gluconeogenesis.
