Couldnt stomach it!

Well i needed a carb source for my pwo shake and having run out of most stuff i decided to try putting some oats in my shake. Wow that was a really bad idea! I only managed to drink about 70% of it and nearly threw up in my car! Totally disgusting. Can anyone suggest an alternative for pwo carbs?

oats are not the right carb for pwo anyway. you need fast acting carbs such as dex. really the only choice i know is to use DEX or maltodex for it to be effective.

well thats the problem i ran out of maltodextrin and can afford any more at the moment. I was thinking more alon ghte lines of getting the carbs from actual food sources rather then supps.

[Deezuhl]

not sure whats cheaper than dex at about 1.00 a lb. good luck

[smegs]

i pay 1.50 CAN for 1.5K of dextrose, thats about 1.10 USD, its pretty cheap bro

[niXon)(]

its actually 6$ for shipping too, but when you're broke, you're broke lol.

When i ran out of dex i used sprees and sweet things like that, gatorade mix, etc.

Yup. Go get some bulk drink mix.

ditto...'tis what i do...the point is to ingest fast digesting (non-fructose) carb

[devilman208]

the gatorade powder mix actually has dex in it. That would be ideal or powerade has maltodex in it also.

[devilman208]

but in all actuallity, it would be cheaper to go by a bag of dex!

I agree that oatmeal and protein isnt that great for PWO. For PPWO however I enjoy it tons. I get a brand of quicker oatmeal as the flakes are usually finer and easier to liquify in my blender. It's a little higher GI but for PPWO not really an issue. I liquify that **** on high and what comes out is a thick protein shake but with no chunks of oatmeal. If it's got chunks in it that's when I can't stomach it

Either that or eat a $hitload of smarties or some other candy that is dextrose.

[Prime]

Fruit will do nothing to replinish lost muscle glycogen, no. (Fructose)

You want dextrose.

Just use sweet-tarts until you order dextrose. It's so cheap it's ridiculous.

~SC~

so what should i buy, dextrose or maltodextrin. Ill be using this during my precontest diet. Im thinking maltodextrin would be better but I'd like to know for sure.
