Ok , Tom, are you saying that by raising the blood levels of glucose with
grain feedings...carbs..before an endurance race that you are sparing the
glycogen stored in the cells? Please help me here. I am confused. I thought
that when you raised blood glucose you consequently raised insulin which
caused the body to store the glucose rather than to use it. I thought it was
instead a good idea to have a higher glucogan level than insulin operating
that would encourage the body to draw fat from cells to use for energy. I am
totally confused now. Can you help straighten me out?
