Dextrose Substitute

[beastboy]

I need something post workout with my whey? Anything besides Dextrose?

I use honey. Seems to work OK, I'm getting good results. There may be something better, though.

try something like powerade or lucozade

How much?

 

[frankenfurter]

I coat a tablespoon with honey then mix it in. I don't use a whole tablespoon. It probably works out to about 1/2 a teaspoon. I'm apprehensive to use too much sugar since I'm on keto.

Smarties or Sweet Tarts

what about glucose powder?

You could buy some Ultra Fuel by Twinlab (It's pretty cheap) or just eat some sweettarts or throw in some honey, or a powerade type drink.

what about glucose powder?

glucose = dextrose monohydrate

Ideally you want liquid post workout in the shake so it is absorbed quicker unless you liquidize a snickers i dont think it's good + sinckers has fat you dont want fat in your post workout shake (unless u're on keto but then u dont want carbs)

Honey is good but not as fast absorbing as glucose BUT i've heard that research shows that Honey aids recovery

is there anything wrong with regular white sugar?

I can't remember, does anybody know the GI of white sugar off the top of their head? Oh hell, I'll just try to look it up. I'll post it if I find it. By the way, I just asked an argument with myself outloud (acutally, it was typed...okay, I'll stop now).
