There is no insulin for fat storage and insulin for lean tissue maintenance and growth. Insulin is Insulin and it does its job. Now if insulin stores fat or shuttles nutrition to muscle cells depends on insulin sensitivity and insulin resistance. First, insulin will try to load up muscles with proteins, glycogen in to…

I buy a big bottle of sugar free Syrup from Starbucks with spray pump. It costs around 12$, lasts for a while and Coffee just tastes like the one at Starbucks with no after taste. I personally like sugar free Cinnamon Dolce, but they have many other flavors. Another favorite of mine when I am craving pumpkin in fall is…

It is pretty normal to be tired if you are working out at a higher intensity(KB, Heavy lifting, HIT etc..). The body still tries to use glycogen as fuel instead of fat at higher intensities. You have few options. 1. Push through this adaptation phase and body will adjust in few weeks. Took me 5 months for my body to be a…
