I think the whole high GI carbs post workout is a BAD idea for people trying to improve there bodycomposition. Its fine for performance minded trainees.

I just drink down 40g of protein these days.

Why is it bad? Normally you dont want to cause an insulin spike, but after burning out your stores.. Its not a bad idea to replenish them quick to get yourself out of a catabolic state.

Not sure how many of you take advantage of the great info over at T-nation....but thought this would be a good place to drop this link. If you have the time, read it over.....some crazy ass stuff about pre/post workout nutrition and shakes.

Hey Cynic, thanks very much with the follow up reading. I was only posting that link to spark debate and convo. I by no means follow that article myself. I have lived and died by the pre and post workout whey protein shake mixed with malto. It has always worked for me. When I stop seeing gains, only they will I rearrange some things.

I just love reading and researching heavily debated topics such as pwo nutrition, and t-nation usually has some great articles to read.

Thanks again. Whenever you find good articles or posts like this outside of t-nation, please forward them to me.
