    oats in protien shake just for post work out?

    I like putting oats in my shakes and I do right after I work out. I like the results.

    Can I put oats in my shakes all the time, or is this something that should be post workout?

    Oats post workout? You need quick digesting carbs after you workout. Yes, you can put all the oats you want in your whey at any other time. But, certainly not after you finish working out.

    post workout, you ideally want to spike your insulin levels, oats aren't very a good choice to do so because they are a slow burning carb..you want something that will get to your blood stream quickly, for optimum muscle regrowth
    or at least that's what I understand

    There is nothing wrong with oats PWO, or with any shake as a meal.

    Alot have people have mentioned. The fibre from Oats will slow down the digestion of the simple sugars. Which you need asap after a productive WO.

    It makes sense to me, but is it true or just a myth?

    I read some of it, and the posts, but it was all really point of view.

    ever since I started putting oatmeal in my post work out shakes, I just notice Im harder, and I like the results, but did I misunderstand something? They said OATS was good post work out .

    Yep and I agree with that.

    However if you like, try some dextrose post-workout and evaluate the progress.

    My comment was more towards the people who were dismissing oats PWO.

    And yes you can use Oats with any shake not just PWO

    Thanks for that link Iain'.

    Up until now. Every mag/website/book ect. that I have read has stated how important it was to consume fast digesting carbs PW.

    Those studies have convinced me otherwise. I think I'll start eating slow carbs PW now.

    Try both and see what results you like best.

    There are no cookie cutter guidelines, as we all have different metabolisms. Dextrose for me is a no-no.

    Yup Yup! And you'd be suprised that most people don't actually do well on high gi spike. They just won't try the oats option to actually see a difference

    I've tried both as well and I was way softer with dextrose so I stick with the oats.
