Sugar after training when cutting

[Gluesniffer]

I usually have a glass of orange juice or ice tea after training to get some sugar. If I am trying to lose fat, should I drop this?

i don't think it will hurt you but there has to be a better way to get sugar than orange juice or sweet tea.....

dextrose and maltodextrin are basically higher GI carbs than sugar right? So I was assuming he would have the sugar to facilitate recovery just like one would take a post-workout supp. I don't know if that is a good way to go or not but I do know that I dont use dextrose or malto when cutting.

I always had heard dextrose provides a slight insulin spike POW - so I take it before drinking my shake. Is this misinformation or am I on the right track with this ?

Not really. I always thought fast carbs after workout and in the morning are the way to go. It's not like I miss it if I don't have it.

When I start to lean up come summer, I replace the dextrose in my shake with oatmeal. Thich and sludgy, but slower digesting carb.

Malto-dextrin and protein mixed in post workout shake. Its been working for me for a while now.

sorry to repeat this but the reason to take in the dextrose etc ... is for the insulin spike... right ?

Yes. YOur muscle are depleted of glycogen. The insulin spike rushes the protein and carbs to your muscle refilling some glycogen and starting to heal your muscle
