If your question is serious, I'll answer you seriously.

Honey is just a hi GI glucide, so taking it after a work-out will induce an insulin spike which may be useful to be the vehicle of your protein absorption.
If you need further info, just ask.

I've a question: isn't fructose (honey contains some of it) converted to fat if hepatic stores are still full of glycogen?

Who are you asking to?

yes. fructose is only capable of replinishing liver glycogen stores.

Sorry. I was asking to you.

[stevey_6t9]

yeh thats true klimax. fructose cant be converted to muscle glycogen. goes through the liver and if taken up can be used as glucose later

[BJJ]

Sorry. I was asking to you.

If ingested alone the fructose comes unchanged until the small intestine where is absorbed and conveyed to the liver. Its rate of absorption is lower than that of glucose and sucrose but still greater than that of artificial sweeteners recommended to diabetic subjects. Thanks to this absorption relatively rapid fructose has the laxatives effect typical of artificial sweeteners.
However, if taken in excess may exceed the maximum capacity of absorption going in against a quick fermentation that cause flatulence and intestinal pain.
The liver has the task of metabolize fructose transforming it into glucose which, because of the slowness with which is produced, is poured in circle slowly. However, this processing capacity has a limit and, if present in excess, the fructose is converted into lactic acid or in triglycerides that will be released in the blood. The hypertriglyceridaemia (high quantity of triglycerides in the blood) is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular disease (other blood lipids, as the cholesterol or the HDL are not minimally affected from the metabolism of fructose).
Moreover the excess triglycerides is picked up from the cells that provide to deposit the fatty acids in form of fatty tissue.

Thanks. If i understood well, small amounts of fructose shouldn't be converted in triglycerides.

[BJJ]

Yes correct, but consider that what is a small amount for one might not be a small amount for another.
Body weight is the key.
