good hi gi carbs?

[motar]

dzuljas,

I thought a banana was bad to eat post workout since it has fructose. Doesn't fructose fill up liver glycogen instead of muscle glycogen?

Does the dextrose really work?I've been adding 2 70cc scoops to my post workout shake for the past week.I hope it works because it makes my shake so sweet I can barely drink it all.
Will all this sugar cause me to gain fat?

I got mine at a local homebrewing store,its sold as corn sugar,100% dextrose.4lbs for $3.89.

you arent gonig to get fat from the dextrose. Instead it will replenish your muscle glycogen that you burned during your workout. Also the big insulin spike you get from the dextrose will get rid of the cortisol, (which puts you in a catabolic state) and put your body in anabolic mode.

Hope that helps

banana is not a high GI carbs

fructose is pretty low GI

 

[ProteinFiend]

banana's actually are HIGH GI. Their GL is low though so they do not spike insulin effectively.

In my GI list I have about 50 for banana, less than oatmeal
