Sugar might not be so bad post workout. Glycogen will be depleted so it has somewhere to go. I always give fruit a bit of a pass too for it's sugar levels, the included fiber and nutrients slows absorption compared to processed white. When I lost a ton of weight it was basically a meat dairy cabbage & fruit diet.

Dried apricots have fiber...trust me on this one...πŸ˜‚. Finding dried fruit without added sugar is a nightmare, this may just be for me though. I need to get a dehydrator πŸ€”

My wine making friend gifts me a huge jar of home dried sour cherries every year around this time. They are a fantastic dried fruit. Better than the candies!

I better call her and hook up a visit soon πŸ€€πŸ˜‚

I need friends like this.

I’ll be very old when I start talking about dried fruit unironically. Like not as old as nostr:npub132ny9cnwv5rjzw0ppk6ev34gn2n48zjejed2k0kcjxgawxt86mps7f9u95 but pretty old πŸ˜‚

πŸ˜‚ πŸ‘΅ I do like the dried fruits...just call me gramma

My dad used to have problems with his digestion. He was just fat and didn’t take care of himself. But I remember he would munch on dried prunes and swear that the fiber was helping him lose weight. Then I learned that old people love prune juice which I thought was disgusting. Idk im hella discriminating but I’m dreading the day where I post on nostr about the health benefits of dried prunes and whatnot 🀣😭

πŸ˜‚ staying hydrated helps with digestion...the massive amount of sugar brings moisture to the gut and facilitates the digestion more than the tiny amount of fiber in prune juice... Drink water and poop well all the time πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

This. Every gram of carbs needs 4 grams of water for digestion. Stay hydrated!

I cut down on fruit for a few weeks and noticed I haven’t been waking up thirsty in the morning lmao

I definitely need less water when eating minimal carbs πŸ’―

It's also why people think low carb diets are magic when they lose 8 lbs in 3 days, but then get disappointed when it doesn't continue like that. It was just water weight, not fat πŸ˜…

Yea makes sense. I just wonder how much creatine impacts that too. I definitely need more water because of that.

That I've never looked into. But it's usually taken with fluids, so it probably balances out. Too much water is hard to do though. Possible, but unlikely.

It's hard to tell when you're high and have cotton mouth lol

So sugar is bad for hydration?

πŸ€” yes and no πŸ€·β€β™€οΈ

A warriors drink.

That guy looks like a yarnlady snack

That is basically my diet πŸ˜‚

It's a good one πŸ‘ helped me knock off 40% of my body weight in a bit over a year.
