I gain weight very quickly using slin (not fat) but I need to have a very low bf% first.Ya on slin appetite can get kind of wild but as long as you keep diet in check you will be ok. General rule of thumb I go by is 10g of carb per iu. I mean I'm 240 pounds though so the amount of slin you use is individual to everyone. Today is a slin and hgh day so my macros are about 300-350 protein, 400-450 carb and about 25 fat. It sucks eating that low of fat but when on slin it's necessary. Eating too much fat on slin will fatten you up quick. Lots of rice and egg whites today.
I was very scared of slin when I first started.. I've backed off and only do about 10iu log at a time now. 15 sometimes makes me go hypo but I never pin it if I know I won't have access to carbs to get me out of that. Hypo isn't a fun feeling but it doesn't last long when you finish your carb shake the moment you feel it. Just be careful and smart about it. Start with low doses and add a couple iu's each time you try it. I believe the body naturally releases 4-6ius for a meal, so you probably won't notice much around those doses. Everyone is different though so take your time
Starting out I used 10g to every IU but now I just use a really good glucose meter to keep myself in check. I gain fat much slower cause I'm eating the minimum. I always keep candy around. When I cycle it at 20iu of Humalin R or even 15 I'll wear a diabetic bracelet so if something happens to me someone can help me.
No matter how long I've been cycleing insulin I take no chances. What happens if I get I to a car accident leaving the gym? Get knocked out fighting someone? I need to give myself the best possible chance of surviving. This might seem a little much but as first responder these are the kinds of things I look for.
