Honey

Do you guys think this would be okay to add to a postwork out shake for carbs and sugar considering you dont have dextrose.

2 tbls. are like 40 grams

Doesn't honey contain plenty of fructose? That wouldn't be too good for an insulin spike.

Honey is around 35% fructose - it's not a horrible choice post-workout as a little bit of fructose would be beneficial for restoring liver glycogen.

Table sugar is a better choice than honey.

according to john berardi honey is better pre workout, post workout it's ok but dextrose/maltodextrin is far more superior

dextrose or maltodextrin would be the way to go imo

I heard the samething, and don't be shy with the honey either.

I also heard numerous times that you can eat a poptart.

i haev also read that there's healing properties in honey and post workout it can help recovery because of these qualities.

I like the idea of honey post workout because it's very natural, especially if u get raw honey with bee pollen

yes it's natural but will not elicit as aggressive of an insulin response... which is the goal of consuming a sugar p/wo
