Todd, and anyone else who knows about these things,

What do you think the best paleo source of glucose is? And should it be
eaten before or after a workout?

I have looked at some of the literature on cyclical ketogenic diets but I
found it was aimed at bodybuilders preparing for contests, which isn't
very relevant for me :-)
