Increase of glucose loading after exercise is a natural reaction, regardless of trying to enhance the process. There is a scientific explanation, but think about why that would be. We have only lived this way for a speck on the time scale. For an extremely long period, we had to virtually exercise to eat. No rolling out of bed, or off the lounge, or out of the office and waddling to cafes or the fridge. There was competition for food. Other animals were interested in eating us. Being able to eat and utilise food quickly, and recover from exercise quickly was paramount. So we are equipped to do so, or wouldn't have survived. Our bodies are set up that way. The modern maladies effecting a lot of peoples health are easy to understand.

Whey causes a similar effect with insulin spikes as does simple carbs. Thats why slower proteins and fats are useful and necessary too, to stabilise blood sugar and metabolism, as well as providing a long anabolic window. Protein and fat are essential, you must ingest them to survive. Any signal that something is wrong in that area puts the body in emergency modes. Metabolism and hormone levels are effected. Again its simple. Think about Pygmies and Hotentots compared to Nigerians and Polynesians. The similar scenario can be observed everywhere.

Once you think about what our bodies are designed to do, you can begin to optimise their performance. Like buying and owning a car that can repair itself, awesome!
