Still want to eat that sugar?

[ptwannabe]

I really do understand.

I grew up dirt poor. And I mean poor. I've lived on the streets, in a shack, hotels, motels, and the like. And sometimes going without food for a day or two.

There were plenty of bad habits, and self-conceptions, that I had to get rid of. Plus, I had to develop a lot of healthy traits.

Growing up that poor makes for a poor self-esteem. It took some time, but made the changes. And I have no doubt that you, and ptwannabe, can do the same.

I hope I can change. I'm hoping moving off to college will allow me to be outgoing, I can just act like an outgoing person at first impressions to new people and then that will break it...hopefully. Though its probably one of those easier said then done things.

Just be out there, be loud, be daring, speak up, who cares what others think.. people will always judge, but if you project a strong positive confident image, you will be seen that way.

Your body language really projects your image, and it's controlled subconsciously for the most part. So you are on the right track, believe that you can!

that just applies to sucrose sugar right?

Good question, can someone answer that? Somebody also mentioned maltodextrin- which has a higher glycemic index than pure glucose. How many of the points in the original post can be attributed to the glycemic index of something?

Maybe consuming protein shakes with high amounts of maltodextrin post-workout isn't such a good idea.. could that lead to diabetes?

I'd really appreciate an answer.

Post workout the muscles pretty much are (or should be) drained of a lot of glycogen, so the post workout shake w/ maltodextrin allows those glycogen stores to be replenished quickly which makes recovery faster. Very little of that maltodextrin remains in the bloodstream for very long most likely.
