high/low gi carbs post workout once and for all

[Joe Black]

which one?

why? (preferably with a shortish reason, explained in a informative way yet so that the majority of us can understand)

Thanks :)

High

Because of low blood sugar, depleted Gylcogen Stores and Insulin effects.

[the doc]

low
because right now my goals center around minimal fat gain/maximal fat loss and being on a lower carb diet, i dont need a high gi to get an appreciable/significant insulin response

analogous somewhat to the virgin receptor theory regarding gear use.

[Joe Black]

my goals are the same as doc's btw..

[YatesNightBlade]

MMMmmmmm.

What do you think about low carb diets and muscle loss Doc ?

Moderate amount of high GI, followed about an hour later by a moderate amount of low GI.

Still going for weight gain, not too worried about fat accumulation.

(Fat? Where?)

[the doc]

well i like the ckd style diet, i seem to have lost little strength, even seeming to gain in some lifts still.
Ketosis is a muscle preserving state. I am down 23 lbs now and gaining in my workout.

low carb dieting though for weight lifting sucks as we all know- it would be hard to lift and thus muscle mass could be lost from lack of ability to maintain intensity during lifting

Moderate.. like sweet potatoes,oatmeal etc.

Blackie, if oatmeal and sweet tattys are your definition of moderate GI foods, then what is your definition of low GI foods?

[Wizard]

certain fruits,barley,yoghurt,low fat milk etc..
