Gym + Inflammation advice needed

[pbrkwillascend]

So basically I lift in the mornings and usually my first meal of the day is my pre workout meal whether its egg whites + potato or chicken and rice. I feel like I don't have enough energy in my lift or feel very vascular during my lift. Any advice on this?

I have read that eating strictly carbs when waking up is just asking to become inflamed and bloated so I have a little bit of protein with it about 20-25g

Inflammation is a meme buzzword.

If youre actually inflamed youll have elevated crp which you can test on bloodwork for like 10 bucks at most

Everyone has inflammation

Systemic inflammation is everywhere even if you routine perfectly

They probably mean "bloating" or water retention, most people aren't inflamed to "bloated" look degree unless you have Cushing Syndrome JFL

Yes, without any issues whatsoever.

What actually drives inflammation is chronically elevated blood glucose which happens when you get fat.

If youre lean aka insulin sensitive have as many carbs as you want.

If you're gonna eat carbs utilize slin to counter inflammation from the blood sugar spike

What about administrating exogenous insulin?

That stops the blood glucose spikes as well, that causes the inflammation in the first place.

You could do that, but its really fucking pointless unless youre a literal diabetic. Retatrutide is wayyyyy better for non diabetics and even for a lot of full blown diabetics

Glucose spikes arent an issue if youre metabolically healthy. I kept my hba1c (average blood glucose last 3 months) at the bottom of the reference range slamming endless carbs during my bulk with the use of retatrutide
