Q: Should I take simple sugars after workouts?

QUESTION:

I came across a piece of muscle-building advice written
on a white board at a Bally's fitness club, posted outside
the "advanced" personal training station. I took a picture
and attached it to this email. As you can see, it said to
ingest whey protein and 60-70 grams of *simple sugars* 30-45
minutes after your workout.

Is there any truth at all to this advice? I take particular
exception to point #1... I can't believe eating 60-70 grams
of simple sugar at any time can be good for you!

If this is indeed bad advice, I will write Bally's corporate
and tell them to stop hurting the public with bad advice from
their personal trainers.

What do you think? thanks,

Doug
