Yeah, that's what insulin does–it doesn't make blood sugar go away, it converts it into fat. That's why mainstream diabetic recommendations are so ridiculous: eat whole grains, which have a high glycemic index except for barley and a few other examples, and just take insulin to regulate your blood sugar. This is a recipe for obesity and obesity related illness. What they should be recommending is to each foods which don't make your blood sugar spike (which have a negligible glycemic load).

I guess the question needs to be framed with each individual sweetener, but I found one on Splenda: http://www.medicalnewstoday.com/articles/261179.php

First day back after some time off always leaves my hamstrings feeling destroyed. But in a good way. I think.

Haha Yes! Hamstrings are sore as hell in a good way

Trying to work a day or two of running into the normal gym routine. Didn't used to care for it and still don't
And I still firmly believe the 'anybody can run a marathon after training' thing is a crock!Also, I believe Stevia doesn't have the same insulin trigger as the other fake sugars.

Running, especially Short (100-800m) interval repeats are extremely productive as a supplement to a Strength training regimen. People that Lift Heavy and Run fast are often the fittest people.
Ironically, I knew someone that ran a marathon off nothing except 3-4 Mile training runs (2x a week) and a LOT of interval / strength training. He didn't finish very fast, but finished and got the free beer and medal afterwards lol

Love it. It hits a little too close to home. I've been working on my overall fitness and not training for the races. I run about once a month and it's usually a race of some sort.

Finally after some much needed time away from the barbell I've hoped back on The Outlaw Way program - holy quads batman - in wrecked!

Currently in the middle of a 6 wk challenge to drop 5% body fat or 20lbs. It's a pretty ingenious marketing plan. They call it "skin in the game". $500 upfront with a nutrition plan and full access to their strength training classes.
At the end of the 6 wks you get a full refund of $500 if you meet your goal. Then they use the before and after pics as marketing which is worth more to them. Only a few ppl don't make it.
2wks in and I'm down 10lbs. Roughly 10 more to go until I figure I've hit 5%.
