which carbs to use for post workout??

[auslifta]

oats are slow digesting carbs but? dont u want fast ones post workout.?

No, thats Broscience at its best. Well the real culprit is the supplement companies. Even protein can raise your insulin levels. Oats PWO are completely fine. The more stable your blood sugar levels are the better.

Protein or oats don't raise insulin levels anywhere near as much as simple carbs. Higher insulin eg. Upwards of 100 on the gi scale will help your body soak up amino's pwo much better than oats. Also oats will take longer to replace glycogen that simple carbs as it has small amounts of fat which slow down ingestion as well as being only a medium gi carbohydrate.
