I was remembering how Walter Willett. M.D. in his book "Eat, Drink, and Be Healthy" said that "the body breaks down glucose in a potato more rapidly than pure sugar"
If this is true, and the point of PWO nutition is quick replenishment of glycogen stores, wouldn't it make sense to try a potato PWO instead of gatorade or maltodextrin or dextrose??
Downside is perhaps convenience (and refreshment?)...would have to prepare in advance(mashed or microwaved + FF cottage cheese? --can't imagine a flavored protein powder would be yummy with a potato)
Just trying to appeal to eating natural foods...I've tried gatorade + protein powder PWO but still have a mental block.
