Sugar is a tough battle. Sugar is a form of carbohydrate. That's all it is and it can be a great source of energy to fuel a workout. Sugar is tough though because there are simple sugars like those found in soda, candy, and desserts. They are "simple" sugars because they digest quickly and do not provide much nutrition. There are also complex sugars like those found in fruit, veggies, and starchy foods like potatoes, pastas, and whole grain breads. They are complex because they digests slowly and will fuel you longer and contain more nutrition.What about cutting sugar?
The complex sugars are healthy and are a great source of energy. I would just cut any excess simple sugars like soda, candy, and coffee creamer. A little is okay, but just use moderation!
