PW Myth??
« on: September 26, 2006, 08:50:26 AM »
As I sat at the table last night, eating my rice krispies (HIGH GI) rice cakes (HIGH GI) and other cold processed cereals (SAME CONCEPT AS DEXTROSE, JUST NOT COMPLETE SUGAR WHICH I CAN’T FATHOM) I thought to mtyself….why the hell, after eating low gi great protein and carb sources all day before training, am I scarfing down all these junk carbs (100g worth)???  Everything tells me (from readings) that high gi is the way to go….some chose dex, some sweet tarts and candies, some processed rice, rice cakes, cereal, ect……does this make sense?  Why do I want to eat this crap after I just put an hours worth of die hard dedication into my training….only to pound back a mess load of processed foods??  Any takers?

maybe because your mind is craving stuff??  At night is the worst! I usually just have a can of tuna with water, that sure gets rid of any cravings...makes me never want to eat again.

the simple sugars post workout are not going to make you fat...the one time during the day when your body really needs sugar is post workout...the purpose is to replenish muscle glycogen and begin recuporation...insulin sensitivity is also at its highest after training...the simple sugars help to shuttle any nutrients into the cells...creatine, bcaa's, ect.

i wouldnt be eating a bunch of processed junk post workout even though your talking about hi gi stuff...the way to go is simple sugars in liquid form...liquid form is assimilated much faster...either dextrose/maltodextrin or even better waxy maize.

the great thing about the waxy maize is that it is absorbed immediately after you drink it...even faster than dextrose.

What do you think about rice cakes?  Cold cereals?  quick oats?
