Alright my question is a simple one, I just want to make shure I've got this post nutrition thing handeld. Right after my workout i consume an adiquate amount of whey and dex, then take a shower, then I cook 2 boneless chicken brests and a potatto. Now is the potatto nessisary for the hi gi index carbs at this point or should i go with a low one like brown rice?

In my opinion, since you already had dextrose, it's not necessary to have ANOTHER high GI carb source after it. I would go with something complex like brown rice or yams.

or both?

Depends on your insulin sensitivity or resistance or whatever its called. FOr me it wouldn't work I'd just take the dextrose pwo and thats it. High GI carbs make me add too much fat

I don't even do dextrose PWO, I just have whey and a yam, but I was just saying I don't see a reason for having another high GI meal after the PWO shake.

The potato is fine, sounds like a good proticol.

What's the reason behind having a second high GI meal right after the dextrose? I'm not saying you're wrong, I just wanna see why you think that's a good idea.

30 min's after your PWO nutrition you need to get another small meal of protein and carbs to prevent an insulin crash. I recommend tuna and brown rice or chicken breast and brown rice.

Hope that helps. -

I just think the whole GI thing is far over rated. If adding size especially, insulin can be a good thing. But ultimately, i think there is a misunderstanding of insulin mostly steming from the articles of John Berardi and such who promote high GI foods as the devil. Most of my thoughts are in the thread on a list of the glycemic index foods, but overall, after a workout glut-4 translocation (the transporters that bring glucose into the muscle cell, mostly) is going to be jacked up. i think the GI is a great tool in obviously, a bowl of oatmeal is way better for you than a pack of skittles. But, a baked potato is fine anytime, really.
