Anti-Cortisol on Keto?
Anti-Cortisol on Keto?
It seems like taking an anti-cort would be pretty beneficial on a keto. Ive tried to understand some of the scienc jargon on other website and from links posted in this forum. Does this sound right? I was thinking taking one in the AM before eating, before the gym, and before bed.
And why would it be beneficial?
Insulin is a lot lower on a keto diet obviously. Cortisol and Insulin levels seem to run inverse to eachother. This would mean that cortisol levels may be higher. This could lead to catabolism, and glucogensis, which I would image should and is aimed to be avoided. I would rather have my protein and preworout bcaa be used to build and repair instead of converted in to glycogen for energy. If I am wrong someone please correct me!!!
BCAAs prevent cortisol release, that's why I take 'em
Don't forget, catabolism doesn't mean muscle breakdown, and cortisol also stimulates fat oxidation. It pretty much calls all soldiers to the front lines. It's not the worst thing ever in the world. :)
