Poll: what PWO carb do you use

[Sim882]

OK - this is pretty simple, for your PWO carbs, what types of carbs do you consume

(1) Waxy Maize
(2) Dex/glucose
(3) Maltodextrin
(4) Whole foods but sugars (bananas, milk, fruit, honey etc)
(5) whole foods but starches (oats, potatoes, bread etc)
(6) Combo of dex and maltodextrin

Currently using mainly starches (quick oats, with some milk), but about to buy some WM

WMS (waxy maize starch, derived from corn) is a long-chain, complex, super-high molecular weight, sugar-free carbohydrate. The high molecular weight produces a solution with high osmality that passes through the digestive system much faster than any other carbohydrate source and it the process rapidly pulls nutrients and protein to your muscles were they are needed the most.

In Australia, it can be bought for the equivalent of $6 US per kilo, and given it's like 80+% carb, that means it not really dearer than breakfast cereals.

I'm about to try it.

The Guardian swore by it, recommending everyone to take WMS, then 20 minutes later whey
