a simple carb like sugar would never reach your glycogen stores... they'd replenish your liver stores and the rest would become.. well.. fat....

Interesting, not sure where you read this but would like to hear the explanation.

Glucose is a main proponent in table sugar...yes along with fructose which has an affinity for liver glycogenesis...but how would glucose simply store as fat and leave muscle glycogen stores empty?

I just absolutely cannot perceive how someone (save an enzyme deficiency) would put glucose in their body (the PRIME monosacharride your body breaks ALL carbs down into for blood sugar/glycogen) and not have it refill glycogen. Someone exercises and depletes glycogen stores...then goes on to consume a compound containing GLUCOSE and there glycogen (branched chains of glucose) would remain empty and fat stores would be increased?

There is NO other form of carb that can be stored as glycogen aside from glucose, yet here you claim it wont refill muscle glycogen. I dont care if you are looking at sucrose, maltose, galactose, whatever...ALL of them are hydrolyzed to glucose.

all good questions... cant see how i can answer all of them optimaly...

what i can say is many, many bb nutritionists agree with this philosophy..

if i were to guess, i would say that a semi-simple carb vs a simple carb will burn a little slower and better restore your stores...

Sorry man never heard of a single person who actually knows what they are talking about ever back up this claim.

They may advocate lower GI PWO...as I do as well. I dont believe in high GI carbs after a workout unless you use slin. But to say they wont restore glycogen just makes no sense at all.

iv done both and semi-simple carbs worked better for me.......it's all good though, im sure you have good reason to say what your saying and seems through people i know, your reputable... thx for the info...
