We said that fructose has a low GI (32). So it' s not good to eat after an intense workout to resotre glycogen right? Should we use white sugar? What do you guys use and what do you think about this.    | ||

you could try insulin and simple carbs , try Karo light syrup , it is C6H12O6 or Glucose. As for the GI in general there are some many variables that effect that index , it would be a full time job trying to figure out one days meals . ( even the volume of h20 you consume will effect the total Gi value of a meal ) . So fructose may be low GI in the whole fruit for example , but when you break it down mechanically ( apple sauce vs. apples , or orange juice vs orange ) the values change dramatically . So to recharge i just eat alot . My general diet is low in simple sugars , but after a work out i do intake simple sugars as a rule . | ||

There is a small window of time post workout to get sugars pushed back into the muscle. Although your body will actually crave carbs for a good 6-7 hours post, consuming simple sugars directly after your workout will help in supressing cortisol production, increasing insulin activity and protein synthesis, so take the carbs and protein together. Any refined sugar, such as that found in most fruit juices will work well. Or a bagel or two with some jelly. Good Luck, ------------------  | ||

WHAT I HAVE BEEN DOING IS DRINKING A DRINK FROM THE GYM, I HAVE ON THAT I LIKE THAT HAS HIGH CARBS AND A GOOD AMOUNT OF PROTIEN, I MIX GLUTAMINE AND CREATINE IT IT AND DRINK IT RIGHT AFTER MY WORKOUT (WITHIN FIVE MINS). ITS CALLED MASS RECOVERY, BY AMERICAN BODYBUILDNG. SOMETIMES I WILL EAT A FEW EXTRA CARBS WITH IT TOO BUT I MAKE SURE THEY ARE SIMPLE CARBS. I WAIT AND HOUR THEN SLAM DOWN ANOTHER WHEY PROTIEN DRINK. THEN I WAIT ANTIOHER HOUR AND HAVE A MEAL. THEN I MIGHT HAVE ONE MORE DRINK BEFORE I GO TO BED IF I DON'T FALL ASLEEP FIRST. THATS JUST HOW I DO IT. | ||
