Do you have to have sugars in these, I thought your body absorbed around twice as much as it is suppose to up to an hour after your workout.... or is it proven you need the dextrose etc for shuttling it or it wont be taking advantage of it?

heres the lowdown..
after a workout, your carb stores are typically depleted alot. a quick boost of liquid carbs (ie dextrose, malto, gatorade, etc.) will give you an energy boost, and fill up those stores. they are especially important when taking creatine postworkout, as it will help shuttle the creatine to your muscles, and spare the whey from your protein shake. you also dont want to slip into a catabolic state of muscle breakdown postworkout, as this would be counterbeneficial to the weight training you just did. so you pound a gatorade.. drink a big glass of juice, whatever you do, getting something into you within that hour after you workout is a must.
if you are looking to gain, a good rule of thumb is half your bodyweight in grams of carbs, and 1/4 your bodyweight in grams of protein. liquid meals are fastest and typically easiest to digest in this hour window.

Good, that means that my carb system that is in my Creatine that spikes the insulin is helping to drive my whey into my body better, I guess that is why I gained a little weight since working out a few days ago and getting a tons of rest, around 10 hours each night, I gained around 1.5 lbs...
