elitesnautica Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Fineone - pure dextrose is easy to find.But why would anyone want dextrose or spree's for their carb intake.Do you shoot slin post workout to build muscle????What are you trying to accomplish by adding these sugars in your diet?nautica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thehunter Posted August 19 Report Share Posted August 19 Whole grain is the best if your gonna eat bread, much better then wheat. It may taste bad but if you put something on it (low fat cream cheese, no-fat cheese) its ok Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elitesnautica Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Fineone - I thought you were a female, Sorry. which would have no use for those type of carbs.I guess it would be okay for muscle gain. But even that, if you are not shooting insulin, then the high glycemic carbs will not do you much good.Nautica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elitesnautica Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Yeah, I can tell you why.You take 10 iu's of slin, you need at least 100 grams of simple carbs in order to keep from going hypoglycemic. You take this along with protein and the slin will drive the protein and carbs into the muscles and your muscle will explode.This is a trick that has blown up the pros. This the the sole reason the pros look so much different today than the pros of the 70's.You can also take the "sugars" without slin, but the muscles will not absorb them and it will most likely be absorbed in the adipose tissue. The reason they recommend it post workout, is b/c your glycogen levels have been depleted from the workout and this is to restore your glycogen levels without making you fat. The problem is that the theory is sometimes better than reality.Nautica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berniec Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 so what should ones post workout meal consist of for optimum results without taking in un-necessary stuff. Rite not i'm just having an isopure shake so that gives me 50g of protien and 200cals, but only 5carbs or so - should i be taking in carbs here too - mind you that i get outta the gym at about 11pm, so my logic was that i didnt really wanna take in too many carbs that late in the day Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elitesnautica Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 When you say optimum results. Do you mean - Getting lean or putting on muscle mass???Nautica Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berniec Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 combo of both...i'm trying to lean out rite now a lil, but i'm also trying to maintain/make small gains at the same time (with the help of some things ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daillestmattyg Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 i'm 142 pounds 5'10 i'm skinny i have some muscle should i take more carbs? i take about 220grams of protein a day thanks matt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rackham Posted August 20 Report Share Posted August 20 Originally posted by daillestmattyg i'm 142 pounds 5'10 i'm skinny i have some muscle should i take more carbs? i take about 220grams of protein a day thanks matt 142 x 18-20 = 2556-2840 calories a day. Aim for that, and if you haven't gained weight after a week, add 200 calories a day until you do.220g of protein is more than enough.
