HI-GI Carb Alternatives

[lewkowicz613]

Can I simply mix uncooked Sweet Rice Flour into my post workout shake instead of a HI-GI carb like maltodextrin?Like this:http://www.bobsredmill.com/sweet-white-rice-flour.htmlThanks

Uhm sure, but I highly HIGHLY doubt it will taste as good. You don't have to use Maltodextrin, you could use Dextrose or nothing at all besides Leucine with the Whey.

I'd just skip the carbs in the shake.  They aren't necessary.

Thanks….if I dont use a carb would I have to increase to the amount of leucine and whey?

20-30 g of whey and 5 g of leucine should be enough.

[Richard Schmitt]

No, 5g of Leucine added is plenty with whey.

Do I just use whey isolate or should I use a combination of isolate and hydrolized whey?

Isolate and leucine will be fine.  Hydrolysate would be better, but not that much better.
