Optimal Source of Carbohydrates Post Workout

Okay I had a follow up question somewhat in regards to my OP. I didn’t want to start a new thread for it b/c I feel its more than likely a simple answer…If on days we don’t exercise, thus no trans-location of the glut-4 receptor to the plasma membrane, when we consume carbohydrates in our meals, would it be wise to have a fast digesting carbohydrate before our slow digesting ones? Theory being that the insulin release will cause trans-location of the glut-4. I suppose the trick would be in making sure that it happens in skeletal muscle and not in adipocytes…Is this the function of Thioctic acid (aka. R-ALA)[/quote]

How about we save ourselves trouble and do what successful bodybuilders do?

do you have anecdotal evidence of people getting big off no carb diets? I don’t see why they would be necessary for an athlete at ~10% bodyfat.

I do not know any true “bodybuilders” that eat low carb but I know many strength athletes that do and could be bodybuilders if they wanted to be single digit bodyfat. These are individuals with 1200 lb+ PL totals, too.

It’s not true
