Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 Here's an article I found on the AST Sports Science web page dealing with post-workout nutrition. One paragraph reads: " The best carbs at this time (post-workout) are juices with higher sucrose to fructose content such as grape, orange, tangerine. They produce more rapid rise in blood sugar levels and are better choices than apple, grapefruit, or pear juices, which have a higher fructose to sucrose ratio. " The reference for the above statement is: Brand- J. The GI Factor - The Glucose revolution. The entire article can be found here: http://www.ast-ss.com/articles/article.asp?AID=77 (Warning .... supplement seller, so reader beware.)

Guest guest Posted August 6, 2002 Report Share Posted August 6, 2002 Hi Tim! High glycemic is what you should be after. Bananas are terrific for post workout. A person doesn't have to go out and buy any of those high performance drinks. You can get it naturally as well. Consuming the right type of sugar after a workout is vital for restocking muscle-glycogen stores. In the hour immediately after a workout, almost none of the sugar you eat will be used to form fat. Insulin in anabolic and quickly shunts nutrients into your muscles, stopping muscle breakdown. A quick insulin spike right after a workout is desirable.
