Join The Revolution II

Your pre bed meal is really important as you know. Your body goes though a restoration process when you sleep, trillions of cells will be renewed, 80-90 % of daily GH production occurs while you sleep. Many many things happens actually. But, I am not here to talk about all those things.

I am here to talk a LITTLE BIT about GH.Its direct effect is encouraging fat break down.

That is what I want you to know.

It stimulate fat break down and cause IGF 1 to be released which aids in bone growth, increases protein synthesis and prevents protein oxidation ( breakdown ) and many other good things.When you prepare your last meal, you gotta make sure it does not spike insulin.The reason is that high level of insulin drives down your Melatonin and GH production.Second reason why you don't want underproduction of these two hormones is that these guys' secretion is inversely proportionate to Cortisol production.When we wake up Dopamine and Cortisol are both high to drive us into action. If they are not high enough, we will have a hard time waking up. But, when unnecessarily elevated, we will go through a whole day of catabolic state where everything we eat and do tend to do more harm than good as the receptors for all other hormones become resistant to those hormones, hence, testosterone, GH, insulin, estrogen, thyroid and cortisol itself will never work optimally.And the timing is also of equal importance.

By eating a bout two hours before you go to bed, your insulin will be low by the time you get to bed, at the same time, you muscles will be fed with glucose.Here comes another reason why. Right after your meal, Ghrelin level drops down so low but it comes back up slowly. Ghrelin is a hormone that makes you feel hungry. It potently stimulate GH secretion as well. Ghrelin, Growth Hormone Releasing Hormone and Samatostin ( SS is a hormone that inhibits GH production ) works together to decide the timing and amount of GH secretion.So, to minimize the release of insulin and boost GH production, your meal should be low in carbs, preferably Fibrous Carbs, High in protein ( casein protein ) and low in fat, should be taken about 1 1/2 hr - 2 hrs before bed time.** Just for your info, high level of free fatty acids inhibits GH production and low level does the reverse **
