dextrose

[Back In Black]

No of course that's not how I mean to come across, I read material from many other authors, but Lyles material happens to be what I am reading at the moment, he is also my favorite nutritionist. For me lyles protein book is like the bible of protein lol the information is all backed up by studies that can be referenced.

Dextrose is the main ingredient in most chalk like candy, love Harts, sherbet, gummy bears, jelly beans ect. Google it!

I googled and tbh, what you said I'd not the case as far as I can see. Dextrose may well be in there but, for example gummy bears list of ingredients in order of most first

European Ingredients: Glucose syrup; sugar; gelatin; dextrose; fruit juice from concentrate: apple, strawberry, raspberry, orange, lemon, pineapple; citric acid, lemon, pineapple; citric acid; fruit and plant concentrates: nettle, apple, spinach, kiwi, orange, elderberry, lemon, mango, passionfruit, blackcurrant, aronia, grape; flavorings; glazing agents: white and yellow beeswax; carnauba wax; elderberry extract; fruit extract from carob; invert sugar syrup

That's why I asked for specifics. It may be pure dextrose in gummy bears but it is the 4th ingredient and I'm pretty sure isn't what Lyle has in mind, although I haven't read his protein book. As you can see, sherbet has none though I have no doubt some sherbet MAY have but it will still have plenty of other ingredients. If you know of any specific brands, as requested, please let me know.

Don't get me wrong, I like Lyle and what he has to say and I'm sure he does back up everything he says with studies but there are so many conflicting studies out there that anybody could write a book referencing studies if that was all it took.

Personally I go nowhere near dextrose or any other simple sugar. I have no issues with my glycogen levels during a workout because of the quality of the rest of my diet/carbohydrate intake. I feel no need to instantly 'shuttle' nutrients into my system and risk shutting off fat burning and increasing potential for fat storage at the same time. I'd even venture to go so far as to say that Lyle will even change his mind about this in time to come.

If you haven't already I'd suggest Layne Norton and Martin Berkhan.

^^ This.

I'm also a big fan of Lyle's work, and he happens to be my (current) favorite, if I had to choose one. However, that probably has a lot to do with the fact that I'm a nerd for this shit, and Lyle is the biggest nerd of all... but there are probably more practical approaches. By practical, I mean for people trying to live a 'normal' life, i.e. I am not planning to step on a stage, ever.

If you haven't already I'd suggest Layne Norton and Martin Berkhan.

Talk to Baseline... he's a huge Layne guy.
