On one hand fructose has low glycemic index so it shouldnt cause insulin spike and fat storage. Do you think it harms if used post workout (unsweetened orange juice or fruit) when cutting?

guess it depends on which side of the Hi GI PWO fence you ride on
Id say no just because fructose tends to store in the liver not muscle
(Wonder what type of shite this statement will stur up?)
Fruit juice is garbage, the pasturing process depletes the vitamins, and it is dead. Fresh live fruit is awesome for your health, good live enzymes and vitamins. Your body absorbs more vitamins from natural sources than a pill
A banana blended with your shake is good pwo.
Fruit is gods gift to us for energy and vitamins, how can you say bad things about fruit.
Excessive eating of fruit is not good. Keep in moderation.
The best time I believe to eat fruit is before workout, I found bananas to supply great energy during workout.
growing muscle correct :)
hehehe.
yes i have banana with my post workout and sometimes before aswell.
good energy and very beneficial.

PWO and PREWO it won't matter.
Uhh that's the reason you take in sugar post-workout is to cause an insulin spike to increase absorption of protein and carbohydrates into the muscles. Postworkout is about the only time that it's cool to have an insulin spike.
what about 1st thing in the morning?Quote:
