If you want to solely provide glucose or fructose then why not just eat a little unrefined raw sugar or raw honey - thats an easy way to get it. lol
Vegetables and fruits are excellent sources of carbs and they pack lots of nutrients and antioxidants, I don't know why you would choose those over cooked starches
If there a reason you want starch so bad in your diet? Just curious...
Sorry I'm not an English native speaker, but I was under the impression "solely" means only, purely... When I said "solely
glucose", I meant solely
glucose. So I'll try to put it simply, I don't want much fructose in my diet. Also I feel the need for some glucose, as I don't have enough energy to run more than 2 minutes on a ZC diet(even eating a kilo of meat/day and 200g of fat). My target is 50g of
glucose. These past weeks I've been eating sugary fruits in small quantities. To get these 50g from fruit, i would also get 50g of fructose (assuming it's 50/50). This is the same as 100g of sucrose
. I want to keep my fructose intake to a maximum of 10g a day, which is close to 350g of papaya and that's what I'm eating. It's still missing 40g of glucose though. Honey is a waste of time in my opinion. Why get pure sugar, if I can get lots of nutrition from fruits? I know honey has some nutrients, but nothing compared to fruits. If honey were just glucose, I would give it a shot, but the fructose screws it. So you see, it's hard to get glucose and not get fructose at the same time if your not eating starches(which, in case you don't know, will become glucose once metabolized). Even if I had a source of pure glucose, i would still prefer starch, as it wont pike insulin as much. Regarding vegetables, I'm not against them at all. Since I started adding carbs back, I've been eating lots of peeled cucumbers and some lettuce. But they are not good sources of carbs but rather good sources of fiber and nutrients.
