low glycemic creatine/protein?

[genuine]

I would appreciate any help, if possible.

For the last two months I have been on a strict diet, eating mainly protein, low glycemic carbs and EFAs. I am on this diet because I used to have very bad acne, after excercising this diet my acne has near enough disappeared (thank god!).

I was bodybuilding before this period and had gained approx. 13kgs (28.6 lbs) of muscle in about 4 months of hard training. I stopped due to an injury (i ripped my pectorial minor and had to have 2 months of physiotherapy!). Since then I have lost all the muscle I had gained.

I am planning to start training in the next week or so, but need some advice on the right supplements. I basically need a low glycemic creatine and protein supplement. Before my injury and new diet I was using V12 (SAN) and EAS protein. Both were amazing products, especially the V12! But I have been researching whether V12 is a high glycemic product or induces insulin release easily, but have had no luck in finding information regarding this issue.

Can anyone recommend me any low-glycemic protein/creatine supps.?

Thanks in advance.

V12 Ingredients:
Citric Acid, Natural Flavors, Acesulfame K, Aspartame, Orange Extract Powder, Calcium Silicate

It is artificially sweetened. So from what I see here there should be no impact on glucose levels.

Creatine is a combination of 3 (maybe 4) amino acids. Amino Acids create protein. Protein does not convert into glucose (sugar)

So to answer you question, choose almost any creatine monohydrate and mix it with whey protein and water. Check the sugar content of the whey if you are overly concerned. They whey is digested quickly which causes a release of insulin into the blood stream. The result is that the creatine and protein gets where you need it in the muscles.

The Glycemic Index is a measure of how fast a carbohydrate is digested and the resulting glucose is released into the blood stream.

However it is important to replace glycogen (stored glucose used for fuel by the muscles) after a workout. So you may want to consider in-taking some type of carbohydrate after a workout.

Yet there will be a direct impact on your pancreas, liver, and whatever other organs, in the form of cancer, they find out in 20 years or so that the combination of Aspartame/Acesulfame will do.

I suggest stearing clear of any supplement with these two products in it, there is a perfectly safe and viable artificial sweetener for the supplement companies to use, which is sucralose.

We should all start standing up to these companies and request that they stop feeding us these chemcals like lab rats. These chemicals are almost as bad for the body as drugs such as methamphetamine!
