    thanks for the advice, will make changes. whats wrong with the gatorade pwo to spike insulin?
    Ooops, didn't notice its steel cut, the regular old fashioned oatmeal 1/2 cup is 27.

    yams or sweet potatoe has high molecular wegith strach in it that will help shuttle larger amounts of nutrients into the cells.
    it is up to 3000 times potent than dextrose.

    interesting, didn't know that. by potent you mean its effects on insulin levels? so you recommend to cut the gatorade and pound a sweet potato with my protein after the gym? thanks for all the advice.

    could you delve into this a little more, im pretty interested in the topic of digestion(med student). gatorade is higher on the glycemic index than sweet potatos, so it should have a greater effect on insulin levels. which means greater ability to pull the sugar into cells for storage as glycogen. also, i can't find evidence that sweet potatoes have a lot of high molecular weight carbs. but, couldn't really find much in a quick search. found evidence to the contrary: http://www.ingentaconnect.com/conten...e?format=print

    Search Waxy Maize. This is the commercial name for Amylopectin, a high molcular starch found in Corn, Potatoes, yams.

    oh gotcha, a waxy maize supplement, yes it absorbs much faster than dextrose.
