I see you should also consume some simple sugars after a workout, but I've got a few questions:
1.) Only after or during too?
I thought we should avoid big and rapid increases of blood sugar levels - it causes diabetes. So why not consuming simple carbs during the workout, so the blood sugar levels don't drop so low? What's your opinion on this?
2.) Types of sugar and food?
Speaking for a beginner (not a professional bodybuilder) - is it ok to get all the sugar from food like bananas without paying too much attention to glycemic load? Is the difference in types of sugar really that bigger deal? Also, should you get the simple carbs only in liquid form, since it???s absorbed faster?
3.) How much?
How much sugar and carbs should I consume after the workout? I weigh 145 pounds and I definitely don't wont to consume too much sugar.
