cutting cycle post workout... carbs or no carbs

[ripper911]

im trying to cut some body fat during my summer cycle what do you guys think of carbs after your workout. After my workout i drink a 50g shake with no carbs and in debate of adding one tablespoon of natural grape jam

Definitely add carbs to your post workout shake.

carbs replenish the muscle glycogen thats you used while lifting...It is extremely important to replenish those stores after you workout....

 

[MikeyG]

totally! The most critical time for your carb-intake is either 1st in the morning or after your workout-- those are the two times where your body is most likely will not store them as fat at all!

Plus, it creates a anabolic environment after you consume a high gi-carb shake post-workout (dextrose w/ whey) to help repair muscle and so forth.

Take the carbs, screw the jelly though. Get some dextrose. Carbs after your workout, espeicaly when carb depleted, won't be stored as fat! They'll be used only for glycogen replacement.

I don't understand the whold dextrose thing...why not eat a piece of fruit and have a good protein shake?

 

[DepressiveJuice]

where do you guys buy dextrose?

Fruit has fructose in it...not good for refilling muscle glycogen and is low GI. Dextrose is probably the best carb you can take post workout. Very high GI, refills muscle glycogen nicely.

the right protein will slow some of the digestion of the carbs down...also, fruits and vegetables have phytochemicals in them that work really well with the body...I'm doing this with no problem right now and losing fat/increasing muscle at a nice rate....

You don't want to slow down the absorbation of carbs postworkout.

Fruits may have phytochemicals in them, but they still contain a lot of fructose which is a no no when dieting.

The sugar in fruit digests much more slowly...good during the day in general but after a workout you want it to get into your blood ASAP and replenish muscle stores.

...You think the difference between 5 minutes and 10 matters when you're still within an hour after your workout? To me, it doesn't make sense until maybe the week of a contest how fructose is going to effect your look...

Like I said, I have a banana post workout with protein and I am LOSING FAT/Gaining Muscle and I'm natural right now....haven't done a cycle in ten years ...may do one with tren/test fairly soon....

So from what im gathering im trying to cut the fat im 5'9 200 10% i wanna be around 7 to 6% i eat about 5 apples a day i guess this is not good do to the amount of fructose in my diet
Im on:
prop,fina,winny,deca

Yeah man use atleast 50 g's of dextrose. I have done the whole no carbs post-workout thing (I was retarded, but I'm okay now), it great if you want to look like a surfer with no muscularity and flat stringy muscles. I wish somebody would have slapped my stupid ass.

i do cardio immed. after lifting--i take NLarge2 after cardio--50 gr. protein bunch of carbs and a lil fat--im cutting too--is it okay to take after cardio??? should i take protein with no carbs after lifting but before cardio???

 

[Him1]

Go for the carbs. Sometimes I'll use fruit, too. Usually I use powdered gatorade(mostly dextrose/glucose). The folks over at the diet board regularly tell people not to(use carbs post-w/o) when you're on a ckd. I think thats a mistake. But, I think that if you're in ketosis, then you DEFINITELY need dextrose, otherwise you will be kicked out of keto by the fructose.

 

[Silent Method]

If you would like to remain in an anabolic state, use carbs after you work out.

 

[Slyder190]

PW carbs are a must!!!

I take in carbs PW while cutiing. Wouldn't have it any other way.

 

[satchboogie]

what about after a.m cardio?

 

[thelegacy]

what normal food can i eat that will have dextrose in it???

 

[decadur]

Carbs after training?.....FUCK YA!!
There are only 2 days out of the year that I don't eat carbs post workout.......that's monday & tuesday of "show week" during carb deplete phase (only eat 60g carbs at breakfast on those days)
Get the "no carbs after training idea" out of your head man!!.........Hurry, before its too late.........unless you like the "swimmer" look, lololol!!
