Post workout: Honey

[Freddy Lee]

my shake will contain

whey
water
1/2 cup strawberries
honey

the question is how much honey should i take, how many tablespoons to fulfill carb requirements in conjuction with the strawberries? i know that dextrose is superior but i want to go with natural products and honey looks like the next best thing.

Ummm, dextrose is natural corn sugar, I don't see the problem?

You want the best for your body result wise, right???

Honey is the exact opposite of dextrose. It is nearly all fructose and does little for Mucle glycogen, rather it stores glycogen in the liver.

Are you reading the posts. Honey will do nothing for your muscles that dextrose will. They have nothing in common. I would go with a bannana instead of the honey. Grapejuice is also high on the GI scale.

1 banana?
or
how much grapejuice

 

[anthrax]

dextrose + malto
