    When you mix it with kool aid do you count the amount of carbs in a serving size of kool aid towards the total intake and use less dextrose?

    I don't get the strength feeling, but it does make me feel good. Little sugar buzz for the bro!!! Mixed with my protein shake it tastes like candy...I look forward to it all day....

    I'm glad someone asked this, after 4 weeks it really started making me sick to my stomach. It makes it difficult to eat anything after you chug down all that sugar and then a protein shake on top of it.

    Exactly.

    I am thinking of lowering the amount of carbs in the shake to 50. and then having the other 50g in the form of a pepsi that i'd sip on slowly. or something other than dextrose! i can't stomach it.

    Simple. Use maltodextrin instead of dextrose. Even 150g of maltodextrin tastes nowhere as sweet as 50g of dextose. Gets in your blood stream just as fast as dextrose.

    uh a soda PWO isnt what you should be taking. Health stores dont sell Dex or Malto because that would give you the ability to make your own efficient shakes and not waste your money on their crap. www.1fast400.com for "the maltodextrin" as you call it.

    I also don't like the horrible sweetness dex brings. With only 70g my strawberry whey tastes like cough medicine =\ Malto is the way to go. I got a large bucket of it under the name of Carbocomplex for ~$2/lb locally. Nowhere on the bucket did it say maltodextrin, but I phoned up the company and malto it was. Alternatively check out brew supply stores. They should have it really cheap. * got 20lb dextrose for $10, canadian No malto tho=\ *

    Dextrose is a simple sugar. It helps people who use insulin to not go hypo...

    Bro thats what I am doing. It makes my shake ridiculously thick and overpowering in sweetness. Maybe i'll try splitting the carbs , 50g dextrose in my shake and then sip on a soda shortly thereafter to keep blood sugar up
