So, on the advice of respected ppl like Knight and John Meadows, I finally bit the bullet and purchased some Peptopro protein and Highly Branched Chain Dextrin (HBCD).
Now that I have this high-tech workout drink, is there any special way to use it? Should I just drink it post-workout like a regular shake?
Current protocol:
So far, I've been eating a regular meal pre-workout, then drinking my shake (50g Peptopro, 50g HBCD) immediately post workout.
So far I have noticed the following from the shake:
-Less bloating
-Stomach feels empty after drinking it (weird)
-No appetite suppression from drinking it
-No lethargy/sleepiness rom drinking it.
For years I have always slammed down a Whey Isolate + Dextrose shake immediately after training, and I always got bloated, a full-stomach, and immediately became sleepy or tired.
From this new shake... I have no bloat, my stomach feels empty, I can eat a meal very soon after drinking it, and I'm not very sleepy feeling at all.
However, I have not noticed any improvement or differences in recovery though.
Thoughts? Can I drink this more intelligently somehow? Should I be sipping it during my workout too, or consume it more slowly? Should I add more carbs, etc? Does it matter?
