Post-Workout Carb Myth: New Evidence Suggests It Could Slow Muscle Growth
New Research Challenges Conventional Post-Workout Nutrition Advice in Fitness Community Buenos Aires, Argentina – A recent video from health expert Dr. La Rosa has sparked considerable discussion by presenting scientific evidence that questions long-held beliefs about post-workout nutrition. Contrary to popular gym wisdom, Dr. La Rosa states that consuming additional carbohydrates alongside protein immediately after exercise may not enhance muscle growth and could, in fact, hinder it. "We have evidence that shows combining extra carbohydrates with protein after training does not accelerate muscle growth; on the contrary, it can slow it down," Dr. La Rosa explained. He referenced studies indicating that this combination might delay the absorption of essential amino acids, such as phenylalanine, which are critical for muscle protein synthesis. The video highlighted research where overweight individuals engaged in strength training on a high-protein, hypocaloric diet successfully built muscle mass while simultaneously reducing body fat, all without the need for supplementary carbohydrates. This suggests a paradigm shift towards focusing on the quality and strategic timing of nutrients rather than simply increasing caloric intake for optimal results.
