Sugar intake confusion

[nickbook]

I have seen a couple recent threads where micers claim that sugar intake has no impact on body composition while on other threads they claim it does have an impact on you once you are in a caloric surplus in term's of fat gains an that it even increases estrogen

Can anyone who is knowledgeable on this topic clear this up?

for health, limit all processed sugars
get your sugar from nutrient rich foods like dairy and some fruit

If you're eating too much sugar it could have negative impact on your health, and there for on your performance and thus your body composition.

Personally I try to limit added sugars to 10% of total calories as recommended by Alan Aragon here: http://paleomovement.com/alan-aragon-paleo-critic/

The only real time you need to consume anything sugary is after your workout, simply for the insulin spike so the carbs amongst the other nutrients you are having straight after get straight to your muscles to help repair and replenish them, and maybe something high GI in the morning depending on what your bodyfat % is. Simply because of the cortisol levels. One of the big effects having a lot of sugar in your has is it effects your insulin sensitivity and resistance, which in turn, yes can increase the rate you gain fat. Although insulin is a very anabolic hormone, it generally has a similar effect to fat cells, thats why its only needed really around workouts because your body just using everything it gets to recover from the thrashing.
In terms of estorgen, if your body fat is high then your test/est production isn't going to be favourable. A general rule is, low bodyfat = low estrogen and high test. (GENERAL RULE)

But who has anaerobic glycolysis?

Or moderation?

I don't really understand why it's got to be either ZERO sugar (which for many means avoiding even fruit... which is asinine) or all poptarts all the time. Sticking to under 10% of daily calories from added sugar is perfectly adequate for even the leanest people out there. Plus, the leaner you are, typically, the better your insulin regulation--not worse.

I meant sucrose - sugar that you use to sweeten tea etc. If your muscle and liver glycogen stores are already full, the excess blood sugar will be stored as fat. If your muscle glycogen stores are depleted such as after an intense workout, insulin secreted in response to a high carbohydrate meal will push the excess blood sugar and other nutrients into your muscle cells. That would be foolish to eat sugars (especially with high GI) thro the day. Fruits are great source of vitamins and minerals, which makes them ideal carb choice to consume immediately following a workout to create an insulin response and quickly replenish muscle glycogen.

Try to do your next bulk without eating alot of simple carbs (or other high GI foods), then check your bf% and compare to what u have now.
Thank me later
