'Cheat Day'

Ice cream with protein shakes, thats pretty damn good, when ever I see choc peppermint ice cream I always add it in...


Also whats this 'insulin spike' to help put on 'mass' stuff about??
 
Insulin is an anabolic hormone which has the role in the human body of regulating blood glucose levels. It is released when there is a spike in blood glucose levels, in order to rid the blood of excess glucose levels and maintain homeostatis. It does this by directing glucose and amino acids in the blood to where they are needed. Hence the insulin spike helps to accelerate the "feeding" process to your muscles, promoting recovery and supercompensation

Last time i was reading, depending on the diet. Refeeding and glycogen replacement was far from "cockscience"
 
I don't go ballistic but on the weekends i relax my eating. Still eat regular meals but may get a pie for lunch or maccas for breaky.

During the week its quite strict.

If i drink its once a week and only 2-3 drinks.
