Just developed the best post workout drink

[gwl9dta4]

Well here goes, this is influenced by 2Thick's post about protein moderation and Nelson Montana's points about using dextrose in your post workout dring to be of not much better use then using regular sugar.

I have been following many posts on this board and it seems most people know the basic sugar, protein and fat. But not many keep track of the ammount electrolytes, minerals, vitamins etc.. And for all of you that take a pill supplement of your nutrient, you should know that it leaves a lot to be desired. so in the spirit of getting fit and staying healthy for a LONG time try the following.


4 carrots
1 Red beet with leaves.
1 green apple
2 sticks of celery
1/2 lemon

Now put it in a juicer and you are done. This will supply you with:

Abundant Sugar
Fresh vitamins/antioxidants
Frest minerals
Fresh Phyto chemicals
Small quantities of protein
Fiber, Fiber, Fiber.

have this with a second glass of my favorite designer protein (3 scoops).

Now 1 hour later follow through with 3/4 cup of low carb pasta made with soy flower and 4oz lean turney meat with some pasta sauce. This combo will yield about 60 grams of protein and low in carbs, about 20 net. ( i use this part when cutting)


I will say that the vegetable juice is one of the healthiest things you can do for your body. Imagine the benefits to a starved post workout body, it puts dextrose to shame nutrition wise.


Peace.

Soy flower? I see that we have not looked at any studies done on soy consumption by men conducted in the last 3 years...

I have looked at some studies, in fact i habe looked onto the matter a lot. There is no clear consencus on this issue. I am more of the opinion that soy can act as a estrogen antagonist much like tamoxifen. i have not experienced any problems with this protein. My lifts are going up every week, i have no water retention, puffy nips etc. Soy agrees with my body, albeit i only consume about 50-60 grams of it per day. The rest comes from White meat, shakes, hemp products and vegetables.

Better = 100g maltodextrin + 25g CFM (or similar quality) whey.

Nope, sorry you missed the point. Sugar is sugar in your body and that's that. It's been argued before. I propose a different source of sugar outlined in my post. It's about health.

All sugars are not created equal. I don't claim that maltodextrin is a phenomenal improvement over the sugars in your concoction - but it is better. The GI is higher (white bread, for that matter would be a better carb source than your fruit and veggies), the metabolization of maltodextrin spits off fewer free rads than that of sucrose, and, like pure glucose, maltodextin converts more rapidly to glycogen.

Also, take into consideration that a protein to carbohydrate ratio greater than 1:4 dramatically inhibits nutrient absorption, and you've got yourself a less than optimal post-workout meal.

(I do, however, like the vitamins and minerals your has that mine, as I posted, simply lacks.)

I agree with the technical aspects of what you posted, but will venture to say that i will not have any more muscle in the long run using something like dextrose VS regular sugar. but hey if it works for you great, and enjoy.

Hey, some carb is better than no carb. Find your own taste.

The way I see it, if some people spend hundreds of dollars on insulin to build muscle, I'm going use the post-workout tool that will help that insulin spike hit just a little higher. Add that to the effect of less free rads then sucrose and, over the years, you might have extra pounds to show for it.

Regardless, as long as the carb is high GI, it it the macronutrient ration which concerns me most. Neither carb nor protein is doing you any good if it cannot get into your system durring that optimal post-workout window.

does it taste as horrible as i think or do the apples offset it some?
