Post Workout Nutrition with Robb Wolf
Here is a great post by Robb Wolf, CrossFit’s go-to nutrition guru and owner of CrossFit NorCal. Post workout nutrition can be a bugger of an issue especially when trying to manage carb intake and insulin levels. I think Robb makes it really pretty simple in this article. If you are trying to lean out don’t worry about eating extra carbs post workout to take advantage of non-insulin mediated glycogen uptake. Your goal at this point in your progress is to continue leaning and increasing insulin sensitivity at all costs. Once you are lean enough, an issue primarily dictated by performance, but Robb does tie some body fat numbers to it in this article, you can then begin doing a bit more carb loading immediately post workout without detrimental effects on your insulin sensitivity and the size of your gut or butt. The point of this higher carb meal is to restore glycogen stores after a long hard WOD to aid in recovery and prepare you for thenext WOD. Now that you have read my little synopsis of the post go read the real thing it is much more informative.
