I swear by maltodextrin for post workout !

Tortilla chips are fat free and baked. They have about 27g of carbs per serving and only a gram or 2 is from sugars.

Nobody knows...? They have to be good for ya

You aint gonna eat the tortilla chips plain. So overall, theyre worthless if you eat them with nacho sauce or guacamole. It will all slow down digestion and you want FAST digesting carbs @ high GI and protein. The best protein I know of for this is whey, supped by maltodextrin or dextrose. Not tortilla chips with nacho sauce and sour cream.

I wasn't questioning the results at all. That was exactly the diet I was on this spring/summer.

My question was regarding long-term effects to insulin sensitivity, your pancreas, etc.

ESQ:

I've just always used sweettarts/smarties.

Hey guys, thanks for the nutritional info. In terms of high GI carbs and insulin resistance, I am not aware of any long term research that can answer that question. But from a demographic point of view it appears that high carbs are not all that bad as long as your fat intake is low. So the advice to separate your carb and fat intake is still the best advice I have heard. However I am in the 'over 40' age bracket so I am limiting my high GI carbs as a precaution. I should add that the cravings for sweet stuff really does drop off as you age. I think young and growing folks may have a real need for sweet (low fat) foods, but older (not growing very much ) people may do well to avoid these foods in excess. Just a hunch.....

100g maltodextrin =93g carbs.
4tbsp or 40g = 38.5g
Very good ratios IMO - pretty much pure, with an added lemon flavor.

blood drinker, did you say that you add lemon juice to your PW meal?
