faster=better?
i've been pondering this whole high gi vs low gi issue for a while as well, and this thread raises some interesting issues. i personally am not fond of the malto/dextro combo at all, it just seems so unnatural, and i dont really feel that such a large portion of my daily carb intake should come from this source. further, after a workout, i am STARVING. i don't feel like having any kind of shake, and dont feel right delaying my hunger with a shake. on the contrary, i crave food, a big meal of steak, tuna, potatoes etc. of course, if a shake really is best, then i'm all for it. i'm also always leary of the supplement industry, and feel they have a large hand in the idea of the post workout shake, and fund many of the studies that support their products.
in any event, if high gi carbs with protein elicit the greatest insulin response, does that necessarily mean this will produce the greatest amount of muscle? i mean, does faster really mean better? i'm also curious what pros consume post workout, does anyone know? i read dave draper's book, brother iron sister steel, and know that he eats a hamburger patty and baked potato (high gi carb, intentional?). he is pretty old school tho..........
PD
