 workout nutrition

What do people eat after they work out?  I have very low blood sugar -- I can feel the crash as I complete my workout routine.  I need quick sugar to bring my system back to normal, but if I just eat a quick carb, I feel like the work that I've just completed is for not.  I complete any workout with a hydration drink, but it isn't enough.

I like serious workouts -- typically in a week I complete three/four kickboxing classes, 3 days weights, then run on the off days usually 5-6 miles.  I know that I have a good routine and I mix it up when I can find additional time...to throw in a spin or yoga class.

I just want to find a diet or food that I can regulate to help stabilize my sugar levels.  Am I not eating enough food or do I need to eat differently?

have you been diagnosed with very low blood sugar level? if so then your doctor should be the one giving you clues as to what you should be doing.

And I will tell you why....if I may...
if a body is producing high levels of insulin.. and therefore you get low blood sugar levels.. and you crash.. then it has to be monitored by a doc.. because otherwise at some point your pancrias will say I am tired of always producing so much insulin ... for so many years...and it will stop working.. and it might turn into a diabetic problem...

that is what i have been told.

your case may not be so severe... but you should check if you are suspecting you have low blood sugar levels.

Unless it is only your body being tired .. as normal people..get tired..after workouts... there is a difference.

take care..
