Maltodextrin/Dextrose Post Workout drink

Banshee20 · 07-24-2005, 04:21 PM

So, I have started taking in 50 grams of Maltodextrin/Dextrose in my post workout drink. I have been doing this for about 2 weeks and I like it, it seems to be working well for me. However, I have noticed that on off days when I dont work out and dont drink a post workout Maltodextrin/Dextrose/Protein shake....I get a horrible headache(I work out at around 5 A.M.). I'm guessing it has something to do with my insulin or blood sugar levels. But, Im just wondering if this has ever happened to anyone else?? As soon as I eat something with sugar in it, the headache goes away. I just think it's weird.

yeah, now you have becom dependant on the sugar. it sux, it happened to me durring school. i just didnt take in as much. if you wait long enough and deal with the headaches then it will go away after awile. i say wait it out or lower the amunt of sugar, then bring it up gradually to 50g.

it isnt hapening to him because he is bigger, a 200lb guy (or whatever he is) can absorb a lot more stuff then a 130lb chick.

damn, i usually take 100 grams of malto/dex post workout, hopefully all that sugar wont turn me into a fat diabetic
