Dense source of low GI Carbs

[Judo Tom]

Please help me with a list of dense low gi carbs that you guys/gals eat.

Im looking to use more low gi carbs in my post workout meal which is 1 to 1.5 hrs after my workout.

i have read somewhere b4, sorry refrence not handy, that the #1 factor limiting muscle growth was supplying carbs to the muscles 2-6hrs post workout... not sure how true it is but its time for an experiment or change of paste..

thanks

Oats or oat bran are probably your two best choices. I hope your having a hi GI PW shake FIRST, then having the lower GI meal 60-90 minutes later.

I actualy prefer a medium GI carb for my 2nd PW meal so I use brown rice.

this is how beginner thinks!
very bad suggestions.
u have opportunity window of 3 hours after workout. what u wanna do is spike insulin with high GI meals in those 3 hours.
ideal would be potatoe or rice cakes.

i use dextrose/whey immediately post workout

i then think i am going to use rice/pasta as my 2nd meal..

i dont think i am going to continue using simple carbs after the PW shake .. I mean if i take in 70 grams of dextrose PW how much more dextrose can my muscles handle 1hr later? so i think i am going to go with a slow digesting carb source in the meals following the workout and see how it goes..

I think the 45 minutes just after your workout is the best time to take in high gl carbs. I'm not too sure where that 2-6 hours thing came from. I guess to each their own.

??? Funny, no one has as of yet to even list a low GI carb. Examples of LOW Gi carbs: yogurt (plain or aritifically sweatened, the higher the fat content the lower the GI), whole milk, cherries, grapefruit, peanuts.

Things such as whole wheat bread/pasta, brown rice, sweat potatoes are moderate GI.

I mentioned oats and oat bran...both are low GI.

sweet potatoes are a great dense source of low/moderate gi carbs.

btw, transporter.. you just flamed jg1 then said the same thing. He said to get a hi gi shake post w/o. then u said to get all hi gi meals 4 3hrs after that. Here's my problem with your reasoning:
once you spike insulin, you are essentially opening the doors to your muscle cells. Insulin acts as a shuttling agent and takes all teh crap you put in your shake with it and stuffs it into your muscle cells. These nutrients are not going to be depleted for awhile, so after one spike, why would u want another? you're just toying with absorbtion rates and filling your muscles with more than they can handle. This will lead to liver glycogen storage. not smart. Aside from post workout, there is no time of day you really need to be consuming hi gi carbs, it's just not necessary. Your goal with carb gi timing is to maintain a steady blood glucose level, this will maximize energy levels and lead to feelings of well being and happiness. Hi gi carbs are not the way to do this.
