Whatever works for you I guess.. Personally I don't see how any pastry could fit into any balanced diet no mater what your overall goal is. If you lift heavy with proper form, eat right and get plenty of rest, you will make all the gains you want without putting on extra fat. That's what just works for me. Gains come from recovery, fast recovery comes from rest and nutrition..2

I don't want to live in a world where a donut isn't "eating right".13

Maybe one every couple of weeks or so, but sure not every day.1 -

Add in the fact that many protein shakes add dextrose and maladextrin; it makes for a good combo.
Also @RoxieDawn one of the main reasons to have carbs also either pre- or post-workout is it prevents protein degredation.1 -

Which really mean nothing because unless you're an elite athlete, there's minimal results for the average person. You could eat 2 hours after and get the same results.cwolfman13 wrote: »Ok i dont do this but just read it to some article, in bodybuilding.com. i will make it simple.. Donut post workout to spike insulin??? Too good to be true? What's s ur input???
If you're trying to put on mass, you want that insulin spike...it's what helps make you grow. Personally not a donut guy, but when you're trying to put on mass, carbs are king in general for that spike...it is why white rice is so commonly used by body builders.
I think spiking insulin post workout is necessary regardless if u want to gain mass or shred, coz it helps the body absorb all the protein and supps that u took before and during workout
Post workout meal is very overhyped and promoted by supplement companies. Why? More money.

You don't put on mass (muscle) without putting on some fat. And unless you're gearing, you'll put on more fat than muscle.sbubenchik wrote: »Whatever works for you I guess..

If they're diabetic, their insulin will already be an even worse sensitivity when excreted from a donut. The injected kind probably isn't as good as real stuff a healthy person makes, but it is probably still better than their own. They should concentrate on whole foods to improve their own insulin's sensitivity.
I hate having sensitive insulin. It cries at sentimental TV commercials, and I can't even think about watching Call the Midwife.6 -
What? Are you saying we have "different" kinds of insulin in our body?BreezeDoveal wrote: »You should use fruit instead. The kind of insulin excreted from a processed donut probably won't be the right sensitivity.

I agree. Sometimes I wonder at all the things people make fit. It could mentally exhausting just imagining all of it.

I haven 't eating any in almost 40 years. I win! They don't appeal to me either, and in my book there are better carbs choices to eat after a workout.0 -
I eat the *kitten* out of donuts at night twice a week3

As I understand it, if you ingest a simple carb combined with a fast absorbing protein, like whey, the insulin spike caused by the carb will help the absorption of the protein's amino acids into the muscles for repair. Another reason to consume simple carbs after a strenuous workout is that your muscles are depleted of glycogen and simple carbs are perfect for replenishing the supply when your muscles are most receptive. They soak it up like a sponge just after a workout. This will get them ready for the next workout, as glycogen is a major source of fuel for muscles. You may find that you are less sore the next day if you do this.
I drink a Tang (yes, Tang, basically sugar), whey, and creatine (also best absorbed with carbs) solution during and after my workouts. If you are going to have a doughnut, just after a workout would probably be the best time. Search the internet for 'carb timing' and you will get a wealth of chatter about it.1 -

Raisin Bran with milk looks like it might work too. The Glycemic Load is about the same as a donut, and it has more protein.0

Is it advantageous to consume high glycemic carbs after a workout... yes. Is it good to consume them with at the same time with fats, no. Donuts are high in both fats and carbs not only will your body preferentially select the carbs for energy and store the fat. It will dull the amount of spike the sugars and grain will give you0
