Ed,

Maltrodextrine and Dextros are two simple carbs used in weight training to unbalance blood sugar to promote hunger. Weight lifters will use it after their workout to help make them hungry to eat soon after a workout where they were sucking on a protein shake 2 hours before and then during their workout.

Weight lifters live in a world of very high protein intake, which retards hunger, this is a way to get around that. Consequently it also eases nausea as the body won't feel nauseated when hungry. Great tip for those going through treatment, but only use it in moderation due to the need for mostly stable blood sugar needed for protein synthesis.
