barjor Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 no sugar as sugar hinders preformance for endurance activities Care to elaborate on this? Curious to why intake of sugar would be bad for endurance. I can see if you loaded alot of sugar but a slow steady intake should be ok,,or am I misstaken?

archenemy Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 I've heard that the military has used crank in order to keep the troops going for weeks straight. Don't ask, don't tell. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
selkirk Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Ok..I ignored this tread...now I wish I didn't. I did Rainier this past weekend, on the way to Muir, my tangerine flavored powergel, exploded in my shorts pocket. YUK. Sticky, icky, and yuk. The next day (middle of the night, what-ever you call it) on the way up from muir....my raspberry flavored hammerhead gel exploded in the top compartment of my back pack. YUK! WTF! Why are they exploding? It's almost too bad this isn't in spray yet! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Squid Posted August 16, 2005 Share Posted August 16, 2005 Simple sugars go straight to the blood, giving you the sugar rush and subsequent crash. Complex carbohydrates take longer to get broken down, thus effecting the 'slow steady intake' that you describe. At least that's what i read in "The Idiot's Guide to Sugar" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
