I was reading up on gluconeogenesis and had a thought.
A great many of the catabolic effects that arise during exercise are due to low glucose levels in the blood. I realize that there are other catabolic factors, but I'm focusing on low glucose levels.
My thought was this: is it a good idea to add sugar (sucrose) to my workout drink to keep blood glucose levels up? This would have the added benefit of creating an insulin spike as well.
Thanks for any info!
