After Cardio (aerobic) Exercise, Should Fast Carbs Or Slow Carbs Be Consumed?

January 26, 2010 at 9:47 am · Filed under Aerobics Cardio ·Tagged , , , , , , , ,

I’ve read many times that fast-digesting carbohydrates are best after lifting weights.
However, I’ve read conflicting information about which is best after cardio, slow carbs or fast carbs.

    Go for a fast digesting carbohydrate source to elicit an insulin response, which surges nutrients and glycogen back into your muscles for repair.
    Go for simple carbs because it gets absorbed into your body fast.
    Try dextrose, a type of sugar.

    Great post! I totally understand how you feel. I’m also trying to lose weight and I found this great product which is working for me (it’s all 100% natural - a colon cleanse that was really gentle on my body. I feel so good and I lost 15 pounds). You can check the website at
