I used to do this. But no longer do and haven't noticed any difference. I've also read that the simple carbs pwo thing is false and based on bro science. Might be wrong or it might be more important for pros etc?!
Hello everyone,
Just after some input..
Immediately post workout i have simple carbs then my protein shake 10 minutes after... do you think this is a good idea? or should i be mixing the two and consuming immediately p.w.o?
thanks.
If you're going to separate them by 10 minutes, do the protein shake first, THEN the carbs. That'll give the protein some time to digest and get into your bloodstream before the carbs kick off an insulin surge.
Otherwise, just mix 'em. The extra insulin from the carbs will also cause the muscles to increase their uptake of protein along with blood sugar.
Protein First
That doesn't makes much sense.
As you noted, carbohydrates trigger the release of insulin. Insulin expedites the transport of amino acids into the muscle cell...a much more effective method.
To me it makes sense because protein takes longer to digest and get into the bloodstream than carbs,
But like I said, better to just combine the two for convenience. However if he has two separate mixes, and maybe drinks one before and one after his shower, then protein first.
