Since nobody has mentioned it, if you eat Skittles or gummy bears after a workout it makes you feel so much better, at least in my experience. If I don't eat sugar I feel like I need food urgently.

As usual, life is more complicated than a simple "sugar is always bad". For some details, see this example : https://russhowepti.com/post-workout-haribo-gummy-bears/

TL;DR: Eating Haribos after workouts doesn't benefit your body. People who are having controlled treats and cheats during their diet plans may be less obese (correlation). The author of this article concluded there's a causality between eating Haribos after workout and being able to stay on your diet plans based on anectodal knowledge.

Sugar is highly addictive. If you avoid eating it, you won't crave it

Huh? It's well known that it's good to have carbs after working out. The problem is when you're just eating carbs without using the energy because then it gets stored as fats.

I don't know if the particular comment you responded to is meant as a joke, but in my experience, a sugary drink after a hard workout does feel amazing. I get this post-workout thirst that no amount of water can quench, but a Gatorade will always do the trick.

I have the same but without the workout...

It’s pretty popular with MMA and other people working out pretty hard. You can also mix glucose powder with some caffeine, OJ, and a tiny bit of salt.

If you’re training for weight loss it might be better to avoid it unless the calories have been accounted for in whatever diet plan you’re using.

[-] ThirdWorldOrder@lemm.ee 2 points 9 months ago

Another option instead of gummy bears that people use is a sweet potato although those can be hard to have on hand right after a workout.

You can also buy glucose powder.

Sweet Potatos are like Baked Potatoes. Just throw one in the oven whenever, cause you may not want one now, but by the time they're done, who knows?
