He says the post workout phase is not as important, you should just return to your normal meal plan.

I don't understand why people buy powdered dextrose, just by some sherbet, gummy bears or something like them, they are made from pure dextrose. Don't waste your money on supplement form, it's cheaper and more enjoyable to eat in candy form.
951 please don't take this wrong way but recently it sounds that you have been completely brainwashed by Lyle and that his is not only the best way, but the only way. It may not be how you intend it to sound but that is exactly the way it is coming across. Do you read anything else by anybody else ever?

Also, can you give me an idea of the brands of sherbet and gummy bears that make their their products with only dextrose and no glucose or other ingredients?
