People don't seem to understand the whole sugar concept very well. Basically, you should make the effort to cut out sugar, because as long as you keep a normal diet you will be ingesting some sugar anyways, even from things like bread, milk, and so on. Sugar means carbohydrate, now "sugar" means simple sugars, meaning carbs that are monomers, or dimers (one molecule, two molecule). Table sugar for example is sucrose, which is simply glucose and fructose combined. These are the best for immediate energy (simple sugars). However if you don't need them, they will be converted to glycogen (which is also good, it's like an energy reserve). You can only have some much glycogen though, and once you've reached your limit (the limit being set by dozens of factors), that sugar will be stored as fat. So basically, unless you're about to use it, you don't want to be ingesting a large amount of sugar. Things like gatorade are high in sugar, because the assumption is that you're using it right away. Now complex carbs are starches. These are made up of hundreds, even thousands of "sugar" molecules. These take a long time to break down, so it's kinda like a slow release of energy (well actually, a slow release of simple sugar), so but it released will be used, and most likely, little will be stored as fat, so long as you're active.

So cutting sugars is a good idea, as like I said, you will be getting simple sugars from things anyways (if you do need a high sugar food, go with fruit). Cutting complex carbs however is a bad idea, unless you're an old fatass who uses no energy. Any athlete shoud never, ever cut out complex carbs.

Aritey, hope that clears things up a little bit if you didn't know
