[QUOTE="simonmills1977, post: 1020499, member: 162192"] I'm an intermediate level weight trainer and for me, any pre-workout snack needs to keep my blood sugar on an even keel while giving me slow-release energy that helps me train longer and harder. After experimenting with isotonic sports drinks Lucozade Sport, all of the ones with sugar in gave me a short energy burst followed by an unwanted increase in blood sugar (I find things Powerade Zero great for hydration but there's obviously no carbs for an energy boost). But I have found a drink called Karbolic (search for it online, they sell it on bodybuilding.com for example) gives a real prolonged energy boost without hurting my blood sugar. It has no sugar in it and has a mix of slow, medium and fast acting carbs in it that really helps my energy levels and intensity through the workout. Good luck :-) [/QUOTE]
