Honey is basicall y energy, sugar, fuel.

Yes, however some of the sugar is fructose which provides no benefit and if consuming a proper diet, will almost always be converted to a triglyceride and stored as fat.

It will help with a short boost which will also drop quickly as it is a simple sugar.

Exactly. Pre workout, the best carb to have is a fibrous (oats) or starchy (potato/yam) carb. Have the fibrous carb about 1-2hrs before, or if you chose the starchy route, you can have it a little closer to the workout time. Try to be close to hungry when you lift, not completely empty, but empty enough where you're not in pain and when its time for the post workout shake, you're hungry (faster gastric emptying).

Hi all, I have been going to the gym for a month and I m 21 years old. I weight 73 kgs and I m 5'10''. A friend of mine told me that an hour before going to the gym a glass of lemon juice and honey is a good energy boaster. I would like to know your opinion on the matter.

Thank you.
