In the last year i've realized how sugar affects my body, they say carbs can turn into sugar depending how you take them, so I will loosely add that to the mix.

I find that sugar (pop) helps me best when taken during moderately-intense to intense-maximal physical activity when my last full meal (lunch) was 3-4 hours ago. I literally feel relatively unstoppable!!!

However when just sitting around or doing light activity sugar just seems to drag me down almost all the time. Especially a pop during or right after lunch.

Generally I am not a big fan of carbs lately, they seem to make me tired and hungry mainly breads and bars seem the worst, Is it working like sugar? how can I use carbs better?

I have been liking a higher animal protein/fat diet that i've been trying this past year as well.

Still have trouble eating veggies daily, but usually get almost enough fruit.

I am not worried about being fat, just performance.

I also take up to half a pot of coffee almost daily and sometimes too much booze.
