Anyone addicted to gummy bears after a workout?

ad

I started eating gummy bears to spark my insulin levels after a workout and iv'e tried to kick the habit, but I cant lol.. I tried going to switch to dextrose for after my workouts but its just not the same..

I'm wondering what's up with bodybuilders chomping down on Gummy Bears after their workouts too. Is there any truth to this? Doesn't the high fructose corn syrup get in the way of building muscle?

You eat gummy bears after workouts and you are 255 pounds? with 20% bodyfat or what?

I can't think of anything worse to eat after a workout than refined sucrose. It's the worst thing you could possibly eat. Stick with a high-glycemic index fruit, and a post-workout shake and your body will respond much better.
Of course, that would'nt taste NEARY as good as the Gummy Bears...lol

After each of my chest workouts(twice a week) I always go to the same Mexican place and order the same thing( shredded beef with tons of protein) to the point where they see my truck pull up and they will actually start making it before I even get to the counter ( yes i am an addict) that's an addiction after chest workouts for me
