So, for those of you who may feel like your workouts may be plateauing and/or lacking energy, you might find this supplement helpful.
Dextrose is 100% on the glycemic index. It is sugar broken down into its simplest form (monosacharide).
Post Workout:
Depending on how hard your workout was can vary on the ratio of dextrose to protein you would use. You can range from a 1:2 or 1:1 ratio of dextrose to protein. It's really dependent on YOU and your workout.
Pre or during:
Dextrose can also be used before or during your workout. For instance, if your waking up first thing in the morning and have little to no energy, it may benefit you to throw a small scoop of dextrose and a little protein into a water bottle and work from there. The immediate sugars into your body can provide you with the energy to get through your workout.
By no means is this scientifically broken down. In fact, you can google the "facts" yourself, and you will see arguments ranging from people swearing to use up to a 2:1 ratio of dextrose to protein, to arguments of people not beleiving in any supplementation whatsoever. If it works for YOU, then go with it! Tamper around and see what works. Which brings me to my next point; POST YOUR RESULTS!! If your tracking your exercise and logging what you eat, you can see what type of diet works for your body the best. DOO ITT!!
I ordered some of the dextrose from now foods. I had no idea how big the containers were, so I have a lot. If anyone wants to try some let me know. I think I bought a 2 year supply.
