I swear by maltodextrin for post workout !

[LewdTenant]

besides protein factory, what brands of dextrose/maltodextrin is everyone using?

 

[Hoffmeister]

Smarties and Sweettarts.

 

[ESQ]

ARE SMARTIES AND SWEETTARTS REALLY GOOD POST WORKOUT,IF SO IM ALL IN!

 

[PsychoSkitz]

What about tortilla chips post workout?

 

[blood_drinker]

www.supplementdirect.com also sells their dextrose much cheaper than protein factory.

ok, tortilla chips?

I don't live in America so I'm not sure what smarties, sweet tarts or cornchips consist of. But I'm willing to bet they are all pretty much high fat as well as high carb, in which case I wouldn't touch them PW (or any other time).

sweet tarts are like little candies that taste sweet (a big revelation there). Seriously, take some time to get some good dextrose and some good whey. You will soon reap the benefits. It took me some time to find dextrose in brazil, but once I did, here I am , I brought 4 kg of it to Paris. Thats how much I like it.

I tried to build a protein powder at protein factory and was able to match ProLab N Large II's price and content of maltodextrin and CFM whey.

It would have been nice to get some maltodextrin for my carb up on my keto diet.

MS, you brought up something that's sort of been tickling at the back of my brain.

During the week, my diet is very clean on carbs. About 250 grams/day, almost all from oatmeal, whole bread brown rice, etc.

Weekends are a different story. I go through a bag of jelly beans, Spree, and some other hi-GI, no fat stuff.

This has worked great for fat loss, and seems to be working well for adding some mass now, too (really, too soon to tell on that yet).

But am I screwing myself with this? I know at times I get kind of zoned out on the weekends. Just wanted your thoughts.

I have been on a diet consisting of clean low carbs during the week, fat coming from basically only flaxseed oil, and HIGH protein. On Sunday, i basically eat High carbs, moderate Protein, and not much fat at all. My results have been great, going on 3 weeks now. I have lost significant fat, and from what i can see lost minimal muscle, if any. I have lost about 8 lbs in 3 weeks. So from my personal experience carbing 1 day a week will not make you gain fat, acutaully like MS said just speed up you metabolism. Hope this helps.

PS: I have been using honey and oatmeal postworkout, and have NO complaints, I will begin using Dextrose to see if i can take my results further.
