Oats PW? New thing.......
- Thread starter JKurz1

ive used oats in my PWO meal after the shake but not the shake itself, i opt for mostly simple sugars...i guess the oats if you blended them and had the banana for the sugar could be ok tho

i use the banana and a bit of oats. I definitly feel better, but maybe b/c it just tastes good/placebo effect. It seems there are a lot of studies going on suggesting these.

They seem to work, Im still making gains.
Ive used oats + whey protien, as a meal replacement shake.
As for PWO, can't say I have, but thats not to say its not a bad idea. I think it depends on goals/persons metabolism, etc.
If your cutting, maintaining, or going for lean mass only, I think its a pretty good idea.
For the traditional bulk, I think simple carbs is a better idea.
Only thing is I believe the whole idea of simple carbs PWO is because insulin reduces cortisol levels (which as im sure you know skyrocket after exercise, and cortisol leads to muscle loss). My only concern would be that the oats/whey mix doesn't elevate insulin enough to lower cortisol levels.
I dunno if that made sense, it was just a thought. Someone correct me if that statement isn't right.

Too slow for the processes I am trying to address pwo.
I use dextrose/whey myself.
Not saying it's "right" for everyone, but it doesn't harm you if the rest of your diet/training is impeccable for your goals. I know that you know your body JKurz, so you should be able to utilize it and keep an eye on things.

I'd not bother w/the other additions to the dex/isolate myself, being that I have my solid food meal of carbs/protein about 1.5 hours after my initial pwo shake.
To each his own however, experiment for sure.

There is no one rule of how long to wait, no. But seeing as it takes me 15 mins to drink my shake, eating 1/2 hour later is far too soon for me.
