High glycemic index (GI) carbs in particular, cause an insulin spike, which not only helps restore muscle glycogen, stimulates protein synthesis and kick starts the recovery process, it also helps lower the exercise - induced rise in cortisol.

Consuming high GI carbs within the first 15 minutes to 2 hours after training can give you a big head start on replenishing depleted glycogen levels in the muscle.

By Brad Dieter, PhD and Dylan Dahlquist MS (c) A seminal study performed in the 1990's showed that as we increase exercise intensity blood glucose and muscle glycogen (aka carbs) are primary fuels used during higher intensity exercise and fat utilization begins to decline (1).

Carbohydrate - rich foods with a moderate to high glycemic index provide a readily available source of carbohydrate for muscle glycogen synthesis, and should be the major carbohydrate choices in recovery meals.

Most high - quality intra-workouts will contain BCAAs in a 2:1:1 ratio to help fuel skeletal muscles, preserve muscle glycogen stores and reduce protein breakdown.

At low intensities, you're burning mostly fat and ketones for fuel so that your body could spare its muscle glycogen for higher intensities.

Since the BCAAs provide a direct source of energy for your muscles during workout, your glycogen levels remain high after workout.

One study demonstrated that taking Glutamine during or after a workout, stimulates and increases glycogen synthesis as effective as taking a high dose of carbs.The study showed that taking an 8 - gram glutamine solution after an intense workout was as equally effective as taking 60 grams of carbohydrates for restoring muscle glycogen.The combination of glutamine and carbohydrates (glycose) was even more effective than glutamine or carbohydrates separately.

-- The reason this diet differs from other diets that rely on carbohydrate manipulation, is the fact that the high / moderate carb days are so important for the muscles as it helps to flood them full of glycogen.

Specifically, consuming high GI foods within the first 30 minutes after training will help you replenish depleted glycogen levels in the muscle by elevating your levels of insulin, which is responsible for driving crucial nutrients into your starving muscles.

Also, in order to replenish the muscle glycogen that you burned during your workout as fast as possible, your post-workout meal should be a high - carb one as well.

A few days each week — the night before workout days to build glycogen stores in your muscles — try increasing your intake of berries, higher complex carb veggies (like sweet potatoes), and non-gluten grains.

«Effect of Intermittent Feeding with High - Fat Diet on Changes of Glycogen, Protein and Fat Content in Liver and Skeletal Muscle in the Laboratory Mouse,» Physiological Research, 45 (5), 379 - 83 Publisher — Google Scholar

And similarly, those looking to build muscle, or those looking to fuel a heavy training load (especially if it's the high - intensity, glycolytically demanding kind) may want to favour a concentrate product (with some carbohydrate), as this is the prime opportunity to replenish their glycogen stores.

Fitness specialists recomment that after a workout that depletes muscle glycogen (so after about one hour of higher intensity), you eat a meal composed of 3:1 carbohydrate: protein.

Muscle glycogen was modestly, albeit statistically non-significantly lower after ketoadaption; however, ketoadapted athletes relied on a higher proportion of fat oxidation to fuel performance as indicated by lower RQ at every level of exercise intensity:

For after a workout I personally would reccomend a whey protein shake which is a fast releasing protein to the muscles, and anything high in sugar to restore those deleted glycogen stores?

And speaking of the ridiculous, I was flipping through a current muscle mag just this morning and came across some miraculous claims for «high molecular weight glycogen replenishing waxy maize».

Our bodies generally draw upon a combination of carbohydrates and fats to produce ATP, with the exception being very short - duration, high - intensity anaerobic activities, such as a 100 - meter sprint where the primary fuel sources are creatine phosphate, stored ATP, and muscle glycogen (i.e., carbohydrates stored in the muscle).

Since muscle glycogen is what your muscles use for high intensity exercise, it's highly unlikely your body will start breaking down protein for glucose when it already has plenty to use from glycogen.

Post exercise ketone surges will be moderate while post exercise glucose surges will be surprisingly high, yet transient, and beneficial to the athlete because this transient glucose surge will serve as an endogenous muscle glycogen storage mechanism.

This also suggests that training with low muscle glycogen may be counterproductive for athletes who compete in high intensity events where CHO oxidation plays a significant role in performance, and that this type of training may be more suited to preparation for ultra-endurance activities.

One of the substances that carbs are converted to in the body is glycogen, which is stored in the muscles and liver and is the primary source of fuel during intense exercise like weightlifting and high - intensity interval training.
