Carbs/Whey PWO or just Whey ?

[junk]

Hey!

On a the ANPB diet would it be better off to just drink a Whey Isolate drink Post Workout? Or still combine some carbs ? Actually I want to slowly comeoff from the diet but anyway.

Currently, post workout I'm consuming a protein drink (Worldwide PureProtein) which contains 41g of Protein Isolate and zero carbs (about 180 cals), after about an hour I would eat my usual ANPB meal. I guess the lake of carbs post workout is beneficial for a continued lipolisys post workout. The insulin response following carb intake would probably completely halt lipolysis.

On the other hand, carbs post workout (such as dextrose/maltodextrin) in combination with whey isolates are very efficient for enhancing protein synthesis and aminos absorption and in low enough amount would probably be ok?

Lately, I'm into the notion of replacing my whey only drink post workout to a drink called 'Rapid Recovery' which contains:

Cals: 280
Carbs:32g (Maltodextrin: 22g, Glycerol:10g)
Protein: 34g (from whey isolates)
Fat: 0g

I think that would give the slight boost needed without overloading too many with carbs.

Very interested in hearing comments.. Mr.X ?

Consume just Whey, no carbs.

Thanx Mr.x but since I'm slowly taking off the diet, I though a good place to start upping the carbs would be with the post workout meal ?? I'm now trying to achieve 20% cals from carbs (was on 9% when doing the ANPB)

I had a few terrible crashes the past few days in my diet (and I mean TERRIBLE). I guess my brain needs these simple sugars (?) today I feel much better, but the real test is to see how I'm doing in the next few days.

Sounds like you already have a plan. :-)

If you're trying to gradually increase your carb intake, post workout is as good a time as any.
