Re: Protein and Creatine

WOAH!!

Ok, so I mixed the creatine in with a half bottle of Lucozade (a sports drink over in the UK that is sweetened with dextrose and no fructose) and experienced a very rapid sugar high followed by a low, but I think this was because we added some dextrode tablets as well; lesson learned!  Interestingly the creatine we are using has a fair amount of carbs as sugars already in the mix; have you heard of this? Perhaps if it's enough we only need add it to water?

I'm training with a friend; after this we peeled some sweet potatoes and ate about 45 minutes later, with some red meat and veg  : )

We both seem to be feeling quite good after this and have less muscle ache than we did from the last session.

I am feeling a little ill after training this week however and I think this is due to my diet and so I'll need to be more purposeful with what I eat, rather than just eating.

Thank-you, I very much appreciate this space.

Re: Protein and Creatine

Sounds like you probably don't need to add more sugar to your creatine mix if you've already got some dextrose in your creatine mix. If your serving size is 150-180 calories, most of which are carbs you should be pretty close to what you need following your training.
