    My understanding is that sugar is good post-workout to replenish glycogen stores. Could be mistaken.

    It's good in an apple pie on Thanksgiving too.

    And good in apple pie outside of Thanksgiving too.

    Is this an unpopular opinion? I'd consider it mainstream, tbh. :wink:


    depends on which group you are a member of - the "sugar is poison!" crowd would vastly disagree lol


    and pumpkin pie - can't forget the pumpkin pie! With whipped cream!

    My point is that you don't really need to put context around sugar for it to be "good", but if you do, it's also used during endurance sports/activities.

    I believe @lemurcat12 has a story about a friend who's known for her Coke guzzling during marathons.

    I like eating a few gummy bears after I work out but I have no disipline when they are in my house...I stopped buying them because I believe they cause more harm than good....its a very unpopular opinion in my house. Does this count?

    I get the annies singles(60 calories) in a 50 count box from Costco.

    Diet and workout are less about health and more about being hot for me. I have a better sex life if I feel confident about my appearance. Health and wellness are icing.

    keepin' it real

    Too late.

    The perfect energy source in a sweet/sour hugable package. Ambrosia in a pouch.

    I wish I'd thought of that. I could have saved a few bucks.
