**Lucius Leftfoot** · 07-13-2006, 06:09 PM

i was just wondering what could i use as a high gi carb instead of dextrose or maltodextrin?

Sweet tarts/smarties/nerds.

They are all dextrose based candy and work in the same fashion.

so does that mean anything with high fructose corn syrup would work also?

**Lucius Leftfoot** · 07-14-2006, 07:36 AM

not trying to nag...just trying to come up with some ideas for pwo shakes.

I would not use fructose corn syrup, no.

I supplied the alternatives I would utilize above, you may have missed them.

i was readin alot of these posts and they say that sweet tarts ex ex is a good source for my pwo but how my packs or peices do u eat.

**getbig888** · 07-18-2006, 03:21 PM

i used to eat 1.5 packs of sweet tarts in order to get the amount of dex i needed for pwo. Its hard to eat that many though immediately after workout.
