Answer by warped_dude22
Well, i don’t compete at a high level, but i do strength training. As long as your blood sugar is in a target zone, (80-110), then you should be fine. As a matter of fact, you want it a little higher before you workout because exercise helps lower sugar levels. I think it’s more mental than anything, so don’t worry about it. If anything, maybe you’ll be in better shape now that your diet will change for the better.

Answer by Katrina H
There is a lot of buzz surrounding complex carbohydrates these days—and for good reason . Increasing the percentage of complex carbohydrates in your diet can be a helpful weight loss strategy.

Health benefits of complex carbohydrates
There are numerous health-related reasons why you should increase your complex carbs, while decreasing the amount of simple sugars in your diet:

3. Complex carbs contain nutritional benefits
There is no limit to the amount of nutritional benefits you get from switching to complex carbohydrates. These foods contain vitamins, minerals, phytochemicals and other nutrients that are rarely present in simple-sugar food items.

Be a smart consumer: choose complex carbs over simple carbs
People and dieters alike are finally waking up to the fact that carbs are not the enemy . The recent focus on the detriments of low-carb diets has had a positive effect—there’s a renewed interest in the benefits of complex carbohydrates and whole grains.
