IGF
IGF (insulin-like growth factor) is another hormone
responsible for tissue repair, muscle growth and fat burning.
Some of you who follow bodybuilding will recognize IGF
because of the fact that so many of the pro’s inject it to get
absolutely huge and shredded. If you don’t want to resort to
illegally injecting it the good news is that its production is
increased naturally through fasting and under eating.
Insulin
This is arguably the most anabolic hormone in the body,
even more so than testosterone. It’s known as a storage
hormone. The bad news is that one of the things it stores is
bodyfat. So while you definitely want a big insulin spike to
build muscle you don’t want insulin to be present in the blood
too often for too long. The best way to manage insulin is to
keep carbs low for 16-20 hours per day as you do in The
Renegade Diet. Then when you eat at night, especially if the
meal follows your workout, you get a huge insulin release
which leads to a tremendous anabolic response, helping you
build muscle while staying lean at the same time, simply
because, in the post workout period it’s nearly impossible for
the body to store fat.
The Mental Aspect-
Sacrifice & Reward
Another great benefit provided by The Renegade Diet is
that it makes the act of dieting a lot easier, mentally. If you
know that you get to eat a big, satisfying, delicious meal at
night, dieting isn’t the torture it usually is when you have to
suffer for weeks and months on end before you get to enjoy a
satisfying meal.
