thanks for the insight on molasses. I read in the book that you could use molasses if grade b maple syrup wasn't available. I missed the part about taking it separately. I tried drinking a teaspoon in hot water and that was really hard. So I added three teaspoons to my 32oz jug of lemonade and grade b maple syrup and cayenne. It made my drink sweeter. I could taste the molasses, but it wasn't as strong. That seems to have take the edge off my exhaustion after a hard workout. I also drank more water but that only seems to help hunger pains, didn't notice a difference energy wise.
So I think I'm going to do 5tbsp grade b maple syrup and 1tbsp molasses for every 32oz jug of lemonade I make. It actually drops my calorie intake, but the energy boost is what I needed. Thanks again.
