It has been a few months now that I haven’t had sugar or anything that converts to sugar (like grain, bread, rice) or anything that tastes like sugar (sweeteners). I have to admit, it took getting used to but all my performance metrics shot up since this last milestone of Paleo…
One that coincided with the sugar detox was my focus on double unders. 3 months ago I could’t do a single decent double under. Today I did 150. Same with handstand pushups. Zero to 10 in the same time. Muscle ups, ditto. As my sugar intake disappeared my strength and agility went through the roof. I can’t claim sugar free makes you stronger but in my case it was magic.
