Giving Away Dextrose

[xlxBigSexyxlx]

So Maltodextrins have a high GI than Dextrose?

so a PWO shake should be like whey protein, oats, and maybe a banana?

I do have to say, Ive been using dextrose, and I came to 2 things:
1. I get a bad crash
2. Im fatter, or appears to be....bloat

Actually fella's its quite simple.

You do not want to spike insulin sky high, ever. Esp. since elevated insulin within physiological levels does not stimulate protein synthesis.

Spikin your insulin is not very good for you and consuming whole grains over processed sugar is an obvious health benefit. If you were to argue against that, I'd label you retarded.

thank god someone knows what their talking bout.
yesssss clap clap.

Thank God two people have some common sense around here.

Listen to your body, it knows what is best.

I am happy somebody is benefiting from this bump! It is such a great read I think I will bump it from time to time for others sake.

Take care bro!

I dunno if I gave my protocol. I have changed it many times. I have tried blending oats with my shake, did it while cutting. But didnt see any advatage. And for people saying dextrose bloats you, well so do oats thats for damn sure. Any grain type carb will tend to bloat you, same as why rice does.
I have dont no added carbs, just liquid aminos and then a meal soon after.

Right now I like doing 1:1 ratio carbs to protein.

I use:
60g protein
30g dex
30g malto
10g BCAA's
5g glutamine
5g arginine

Seperately but along with the shake:
1g vit C
800iu vit E
500 mg calcium
glucosamine/chondroitin/MSM

Then I eat maybe 30min later depending on how hungry I am. Sometimes I will eat almost right after the shake especially if its something really easily digestible like fish. Usually have it with oats.

This should be a sticky so newbs can see both sides of the story. The current sticks are one sided and should be edited.
