Good article. I might want to point out the fact that some people might consider doing a pre work out spike. Something as simple as taking a glass of OJ or V8 Splash with your creatine, or using a creatine mix the has dextrose in it. I have found that on the days when I want super high intensity for a shorter amount of time this strategy works really well. Very insightful. Good article.

Insulin spikes bring about atherosclerosis (you know…what cholesterol is blamed for) and Type II diabetes from insulin receptor burnout. If you’re not an elite athlete struggling to get in high-quality calories to maintain a high activity level, you would probably benefit more from a 60- to 90-minute window between your workout and first meal (of real food, not liquid!). Just trying to share something I know, great post btw :) Insulin spikes can be highly damaging to arteries and insulin receptors.
