    Shes eating sugar pre-workout I am not sure why. Post workout she eats sugar because SOME research has shown that sugar post workout is actually beneficial to your muscles. Keep in mind the research that has been done on this shows that the gains you get from sugar in your post workout is so minimal many of us will never see the results from it. IF you are stepping onto stage in a bodybuilding competition or fitness competition and want EVERY little edge you can get then perhaps sugar POST workout may give you that slight edge. IF you want to step onto stage as a bodybuilder or if youre a woman and its a Physique show or Fitness show I would avoid sugars in your daily diet. Sugars from fruits is fine but adding sugar or eating sugary things should be avoided when possible. Again, IF stepping onto stage is your goal.

    When you say sugar is bad you mean the excessive amounts found in many things that people tend to overeat? or any sugar? cos fruits have a form of sugar, yes also fiber and vitamins and stuff, but ultimately, I try not to consume it much but if it's in say, a vegan cake I found..then I will eat some yeah, just a bit.

    Another poster linked article awhile back in another thread https://muscleforlife.com/sugar-facts/
    Everyone is different. If eating sugar makes you feel awful or weak or if you have a medical condition, then obviously you do you.. but saying sugar is bad for everyone is really generalized and unnecessary. I don't know if I am considered a "bodybuilder" but I have done one very successful bulk, cut, lost pregnancy weight, now bulking again, all while eating sugar in amounts that worked well for me.

    Thanks, I'll check it out :)

    No one said you had to want to step onto stage. But this is a bodybuilding thread. If you want to debate sugar on another thread that is fine. But if you are someone who aspires to step onto stage I would avoid sugars as I stated above.

    And Ronnie Coleman at a 2 whole pepperoni pizzas the day before he won his 6th MR. OLYMPIA and Jay Cutler use to eat candy post workout. You are talking about people who are loaded on drugs, diet pills etc. They are the 1%, you and I are not. They can get away with it, we cannot.

    i was not aware that this forum was only for those that want to step on stage for a body building contest...
