Yes, sucrose is table sugar, Jess.

Nat,

After searching and searching for dextrose and Maltodextrin products around my area, to no avail, I finally did a search on www.google.com and came up with the following:

www.iherb.com, where I ordered Carbo gain (formerly Carbo powder), which is supposed to be 100% pure maltodextrin

and www.brew4less.com, where I ordered corn sugar (dextrose) powder

Just wondering if I ordered the right stuff? This is all new to me, I know, I should have asked you first before placing my order

My plan is to mix them with my isopure protein shakes???? The can of powder I have says the perfect low carb isopure, with 50g of 100% Ion exchange whey protein isolate. 2 scoops is a serving, and it contains 3 carbs, but 2g fibers, so a net of 1g carb.

I have been doing TKD, with about 20-30g carbs before and after my workouts and cardio. But, want my carbs to be dextrose or maltodextrin, so it will be protein shakes (with the above) and smarties for me. and the bottle caps if I can find them

If I ever decide to try CKD, do you think the above would work for the carb up days? sticking to the isopure before and after workouts/cardio during keto phase, and adding the pure dextrose and pure maltodextrin powders to the isopure powder shake during carb up phase?? just curious what your thoughts on this might be?

TIA

Nothing to add to Alopex's answer except my opinion on your theoretical carb up. If you're worried that eating the candies might set off a carb binge then that might be the route to go. If you think you can handle the simple sugars you might want to find high GI foods you can eat just so you feel like you've had some 'food'. Many cereals work great and I used to have some Fat Free Fries w/ ketchup for my last few meals - after a while eating all those skittles, rockets and what not left my mouth sore. But that's just me
