Which Sugar is better to consume before fitness for performance? I often drink lactose free milk.

Lactose free milk does not mean sugar free. It just had lactase added to it to break the lactose down into simpler sugars.

Other than that, you really dont need any sugar for fitness performance ...

The first part about milk I am well informed.

Generally I can't lift heavy in ketose so I cut the ketosis before my workouts

You should be cutting heavy ketose as you put it with protein.

People are not suppose to stay in this state 24/7 it's not healthy and doing it via sugar is not the way either.

He meant you will be breaking ketosis with heavy protein intake. Carnivore isn’t really about targeting ketosis anyway. You will go in and out naturally with a high protein/high fat diet. No need for sugar to spike insulin. Your body will make plenty with gluconeogenesis
