No I'm not. If you eat a solid meal 1 hour pre workout or a liquid one 1/2 hour pre workout, a decent amount of it should be digested before your post workout meal (about 2 - 2.5 hours after).
Insulin sensitivity is greatest post workout and a food with a high GI rating is needed to create a spike. Eating something with a high rating (eg honey) will create the spike and bring glucose to your muscles and increase amino acid uptake.
Insulin has also been shown to stop protein breakdown.
Spiking your insulin any other time of the day is pretty pointless. When insulin is released, the liver begins to store glucose as glycogen.
This is fine when your liver needs its glycogen level replenished, such as after a workout. If the liver is saturated any extra glucose will be transported to fat cells.Last edited by 3dd; 06-14-2008 at 01:37 PM.

Do take the dextrose. It is very beneficial (for the reason I stated above). A large portion of your carb intake should be pre and post workout. Try using the post workout carb calculator. Search it. It might give a more accurate amount.
So take about 80 - 100g simple carbs post WO and about 50g complex carbs pre workout.

Well... spiking insulin whether it be from just protein, or just carbs, or carbs and protein, whether those carbs are simple or complex... its always a decent idea to increase insulin after your workout. Personally I don't think its necessary to take 100g of dextrose/maltodextrin... I just eat some oats and whey and they will by itself spike my insulin enough. Insulin is easily the most anabolic hormone in your body, and in a time where you are just getting out of a catabolic state, such that of which is occuring during a workout, you want nutrients delivered as efficiently as possible to the muscle.. both amino acids and glucose. There's a distinct reason tht research shows us the importance of nutrient timing after a workout for greater results.

wrong.
withing minutes of ingesting dextrose (im talking like 3 mins) your blood gucose levels begin to rise. thus proving that the dextrose is alreadyn in your blood, and the protein is with it. you will see your BSL shoot up to like 130 or so, then back down to around 80 withing 15 mins about. it really does happen that fast

not quite. you need something to spike your insulin, if its low gi carbs or gi carbs so you can drive that protein to the muscles for growth and repair.
dextrose is ideal after a workout with protein.
OP, your 170lbs, I would recommend you eat around 75-90g carbs post workout, maybe 30-40g from dextrose and the rest from oats or something, you do want whole foods post workout as well.
lots of fruits post workout/oats with enough whey(~40-60g)
agreed, my veins pop out like crazy post workout after carbs. even on high carb days when I dont workout my vascularity is through the roof(depends on how hydrated I well).Last edited by Sanj-; 06-15-2008 at 05:04 PM.
