    dextrose after workout

    I read a lot about pwo dextrose along with protein. I dont have any, dont really want any, what can I substitute it with? A banana maybe?

    You don't want any dextrose?

    Why would you not want to make use of one of the best pwo aides there is, and dirt cheap at that?

    Bananas are useless pwo. I'd research dextrose and see whyt it's so important pwo and how it differs greatly from fruit.

    seems like all it is - is sugar though. What if you are a diabetic?

    Some can use it, some can't.

    You mentioned nothing about this in the first post though, hence no one knowing that was of relevance.
