Hi everyone!
I was wonder, its ok to start my CN with some milk with dextrose insted of sugar? Maybe 30 gr? I was looking for keep my carbs a bit lower (about 200-230) without compromising the insulin spike..is it ok?
Another point i want to ask about is if i dont lose weight with a range of carbs on the CN should i lower that even more or nothing to do with it?

Dextrose would be better than sugar because of it being pure glucose. You do need insulin spikes during a CN, and that is something you want to do, so using Leucine can give you an added benefit.

Theoretically dextrose would be better, but it is extremely insignificant on Carb Nite. I would have whatever tastes better.
