you got that right. as soon as i roll into prep mode i eliminate all the sugar in my diet completely. the more insulin sensitive you are the easier it is for you to get to sub single digit body fat. i am also sure that someone that is diabetic will fair much better keeping their blood sugar in check with low gi food and tons and tons of fiber

i have a weak fat friend that goes to my gym that is about 10 years younger than i am and he is in terrible shape and weaker than my wife. i told him that if he just started by ditching the case of soda he drinks daily that in itself would cut a ton of weight off of him. he tells me the other day as a matter of fact he cut the soda out and had added in tons of berries bananas and other sugar loaded fruits. smh, bro fruits are good for you yes but again your bombarding yourself with a steady flow of sugar and again your pancreas is cranking out insulin like it's cool. he says well i guess that's why i am not losing any weight huh?
