pre/post workout carb question

[pabo45]

From my understanding, the preworkout meal calls for a slow digestive carb? Post requries a fast digestive carb? Normally i'll have oatmeal or an apple about an hour to 45 mins before workout. The post meal is usually gummy bears. I've been trying to pay attention to my body and what it needs. After my workouts I always feel like jittery/dizzy and agitated. That feeling goes away as soon as I throw down a shake and the gummy bears.

A couple of months ago I decided to try and eat some gummy bears before my workout just to see what would happen. What I soon noticed was, not only was I working out with a greater intensity I didnt have that jittery, agitated feeling I was getting from taking a slow digestive carb pre workout. I've been taking in a fast digestive carb pre and post workouts since and have noticed a decent drop in fat. I understand that nothing is for certain and everyone is different. If I'm not part of the norm, what's going on inside of me that slow digestive carbs arent as effective for me then fast digestive carbs?

1. Maybe your slow digesting carbs have a lot of fiber and that's what make the jittey agitated feeling

2. Why do you need a fast digesting carbs after your workout ?

you probably justy need to eat MORE pre workout, not eat ****ty calories. An Apple is not enough. And you do not need gummi bears pwo

From what I understand, simple carbs are used by the body faster.

If i'm taking in "****ty calories" then why am I'm seeing better results in the gym? Not to mention in my physique. My diet is fine. I was thinking it had something to do with the sugars?

gummy bears will work PWO. What you're going for is fast digesting carbs (doesnt matter if its gatorade, dextrose, or pixie stix--all include or are dextrose), so if the gummy bears include dextrose or something with a high glycemic index, give it a shot.

one point that is supporting/not eliminating gummi bears as pwo sugar is, that they are only 0.1% fat. however, another "cleaner" sugar source should work better imo. How much and whether it is significant is an other question.

I think the avis support the theory of pwo bears, too.
