> I got sick, I lost 8 more kg (16lb) in weight in 5 days: when I got out of hospital I over-ate sugar and carbs for two weeks and got fitter, faster than anyone would believe. If you lost that much so fast it's because before being sick you were very high in glycogen muscular reserves, which binds on water big time. Surely you didn't eat during your sickness, leading to glycogen depletion, leading to shredding all that water and weight. You surely were then very miserable, because losing so much water during 5 days means having virtually no more minerals, magnesium and potassium being key components for cellular activity. And then you binged on carbs, building your glycogen reserves back to normal, bringing minerals back in your system, and assuredly you felt better. But you also piked your insulin level by eating a lot of carbs, and you are now a step closer to insulin resistance. > Sugar is good for you If you eat sugar often enough to induce insulin resistance, then, no, it's not. Otherwise, yes, go enjoy your annual 100gr of candies, it won't hurt, it may even go one rep further on that squat max. |
