As a bigger dude, well overweight, I'm working on eliminating added sugars from my diet as part of my plan for weight loss during my training. I lost 20lbs last year with pretty minor control over my diet, but managed to put most of it back on by taking off-season a bit too literally. None the less, I am trying to figure out how to fuel during workouts as almost everything I can find has added sugar. For those of you trying to dodge sugar, what are you eating during training?
Before you ask why, assuming the studies showing that sugar is addictive are true, I want to at least negate or drastically reduce my need for sugar, as I struggle with a major sweet tooth. I do ok for the most part with the rest of my diet, but I just can't get away from sugar, which of course quickly becomes fat. Only way to beat it is get rid of it for a while so the dependence disappears.
