Does any one here use orange juice + whey post workout? I searched but didn't see any mention of it.
Great post.Essentially, low gi carbs keep glycogen levels far more stable and take longer to completely absorb and digest. With simple carbs you get a quick absorption then a brief spike in glycogen and a correlative spike in insulin. Both levels drop very quickly..a sugar crash more or less. Since worked muscle is replenishing itself..any carbs are good, however the muscles can only absorb so much glycogen at one time. If your muscles are stocked up then any leftover glycogen is then absorbed by fat cells.
Slow feed the muscle and it will have more chance of it using the glycogen before your fat cells do.

Incidently, I remember reading that vitamin C inhibited fat burning during a work-out. So, it's best not to take it before.
And, sounds like best not to take it after either...
