[quote=EricS]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. [/quote]

Maltodextrin although a simple carb in nature is actually considered a complex carb just because of the high glycemic index at about twice refined sugar. You mention nausea and most people I know that use maltodextrin complain of nausea, constipation or diarrhea. My experience has been lack of hunger and nausea from too much protein. I sometimes forget how much protein I am eating vs drinking.

Thanks for the explanation. I think I understand more about my hunger gaps after protein. I suspected that was going on but wasn't sure till I saw it in your post...correctly spelled I might add.
