    Best source of simple carbs

    What's the best source of simple carbs post workout, that's not a supplement. I've heard gatorade, apple juice etc...
    Being all that I can be is simply not good enough. I will be better.

    Body building is 40% lifting, 40% diet and 40% sleep. And it's always going to be 120% dedication.

    Power lifters eat to help them lift.

    If you don't want to use a supplement, why are you willing to use Gatorade? I don't understand this mentality.

    Anyway, corn sugar.

    My parents are skeptical about me taking too many supplements so I don't want to have any dextrose supplement. Something like gatorade is practical and I can keep it in my fridge w/o getting bitched at.

    dextrose isnt a supplement. it is just like sugar. in fact, it IS a sugar.

    it's what sweet-tarts are made out of

    Even better.......TRY OATMEAL:

    If you still want to go the high GI route, grape juice would be a good choice.

    forget the sugar and go for the oatmeal. If not try some potatoes instead.

    Based on your question of simple carbs, I'd vote dextrose...

    Simple carbohydrates are monosaccharides and disaccharides occurring naturally in fruits, vegetables, and dairy products. Some examples of simple carbohydrates are glucose, galactose, and fructose, all of which are monosaccharides and, sucrose, lactose, and maltose, all of which are disaccharides.

    Most simple carbohydrates elevate blood sugar levels rapidly, providing "instant energy" which is quickly utilized and dissipated. Fructose is an exception. Additionally, refined sources of simple carbohydrates, such as candy, contribute only calories to the diet. These "empty calories" are often consumed in place of foods which would provide important nutrients in addition to the energy

    I agree based on your question dextrose is your best bet.

    Gatorade is a good choice if looking for dextrose

    Corn sugar is cheaper than gatorade. And it is dextrose.

    Glucose is great right after workout. It works like dextrose.
    Both are good choices. However, dextrose may be more difficult to find. You can find glucose syrup more easily in stores.
