[M56M]

Now i need a final decision on this.... Is Dextrose good for dieting??? (After workout only)

Basically a low carb, HIGH Protein, moderate fat(only EFAs) diet.

Would you like me to change the question for your poll.

You should really ask "is it good for dieting" or "is it bad for dieting".......

it still makes no sense

is something good or bad
Yes no?
which is yes? Bad or not?

Yes dextrose is good post workout on the low carb diet. Post workout carbs will act to replenish your glycogen supplies and won't be stored as fat.

Do you count the post work out carbs in your daily intake?

in my opinion dextrose is a poor quality carb source , it only mekes me retain water . id never would use it when dieting maybe while bulking . more over i think the supplement companies got everyone all hyped about crap carbs post workout so they can sell you post workout drinks with cheap carbs average protein at a high cost. studies on muscle recuperation post work out shakes were done with minimal amunt of carbs and protein , there are no studies with this high amount of sugar being beneficial post work out plus if your getting plenty of carbs and protein it'll be impossible to really be defficient in protein and carbs . remember you can store up to 400 grams of glycogen wich only and endurance athlete will actually be able to trully tax , as for us bodybuilders i beleive a good pre-work out meal 1hr before is many times more beneficial, if your worried about catabolism then a lil carbs like 20 grams with 5 grams glutamine and 5 to 10 gram branch chain aminos will take care of any possible muscle loss and recuperation, remember while dieting FOOD is more important than shakes due to the thermic effect of food , which whey and dextrose have close to none ,also the large spike in insulin though anabolic will also halt any possible fat loss

if you are dieting the only time i would take dextrose is postworkout other then that you would want to avoid it like the plague

you need simple carbs after an intens workout

even if you on a low carb dite ... it dosn't turn into fat the period after workout immediatly

hope that helps

yes I believe it is I am working with Swolecat and I take in 85g of dextrose with my PWO shake. I started jan 1st at 196lbs at 15.38% BF as of today I am 186lbs @ 9.3% BF, do the math you will see I have dropped over twelve pounds of fat and gained 2lbs of lean mass

Even when I'm dieting, I take some dextrose post workout.
