no no no, not about the carbs & fiber, about the whey!!
does adding fat and fiber to a shake SLOW DOWN the absorption of whey protein in your body? Or does it still absorb at the same quick rate as if you ate it with dextrose??
Some of you guys are oversimplifying the already simple concept of digestion vs. absortion. Digestion rates are pretty much constant for most foods. Foods/nutrients are not absorbed in the stomach - they are digested there. Absorption occurs in your intestines. If you want quicker absorption, you want quick gastric empyting. Fat, fiber, and overall amount of food slows down gastric emptying. Osmolarity of total solution also plays a role in gastric emptying rate.
