Dextrose

[Exkon]

I'm going to start my cutting cycle in March and curious to know what would be a good dose of dextrose post workout. On non workout days I don't plan on eating any carbs at all, maybe a few from veggies. On workout days I'd like to stay at around 50g a day or would this be too low?

It wouldn't be too low in my opinion. However, I do not recommend restricting carbs to the extent you are planning on any days. I think it makes sense to limit simple carbs to post workout but I would recommend you consume complex carbs every day, especially early in the day.

I agree with Trev, I find if i cut out my dextrose my recovery is the shits, I need atleast 50g after each workout. Keep your carbs to the early morn, and the meal after training after your post workout shake.

Whether cutting or bulking I always use a ratio of 2:1, dextrose to protein post workout.

Where do you get dextrose?

Where do you get dextrose?

A brewing store - don't pay more than $1/lb including shipping or you're getting ripped.

50-100g dextrose post workout will help replenish your glycogen stores.

don't ignore your veggies!!!Lots of greens, brocolli, brocolli, brocolli!
Maybe throw a couple of tablespoons of Flax Oil in your diet somewhere as well. Are you taking in flax at all now?

do you guys recommend dextrose even though I'm on a low carb diet after my workout or is that just for bulking up. The reason is I dont want to slow down the fat burning process.
