Simple sugars after workout????? wtf

[marshallmadman]

dextrose will work the best

Coke contains high fructose corn syrup which is basically a 'junk' carbohydrate...unless you buy the mexican coke - we're still talking about sodas right?

Hey, if it's good enough for Cutler, it's good enough for me.

Exactly, high fructose corn syrup has a low glycemic index and will not cause an insulin response (fructose digests slowly). Cane (table) sugar is a disacharide consisting of glucose and fructose so it doesn't have all that high a glycemic index either.

Dextrose (aka glucose) is what you want post workout to spike insulin and cause muscle growth.

I use beer brewers corn or rice sugar. It is 100% dextrose and is not that expensive.

maltodextrin has a high GI too

It will help to replenish depleted muscle glycogen and it will blunt the effects of cortisol to some extent, insulin is very anti-catabolic. It will get the recovery process kicked off on the right foot.

That's false. It replenishes your glycogen levels when taken with some protein!

Yup

Whats the best source of dextrose, like something that I could find at the grocery store, or a fitness shop?

Ha, yeah. I know about the "not posting a source" rule, I didn't think it would apply to this, though. Sorry if I was out of line.
