It decreases the renal reabsorption of filtered glucose, causing kidneys to excrete glucose from the body through urine.
It does the same for sodium as well. Which again, I think is fine for someone looking for functional health or longevity.
But when you’re pushing 600 plus grams of carbs, using sea salt on all your meals and pushing insulin as a bodybuilder it can be counterproductive IMO. You can have electrolyte imbalances very quickly and will be pissing glucose/sugar all day.
Much better ways IMO for guys pushing size and those factors. It’s not worth trying to chase it with more water, electrolytes and carbs- it’s like a dog chasing its own ass. It’s just a constant cycle.
