“Tricking” the body while fasting by swishing the mouth with carbohydrate solution

I am an amateur athlete, and also give training advice to other Muslim athletes. To put this in context, I train in boxing and other martial arts, and use strength training and running, etc. to get in shape for my activities. I live in the US and work a desk job with long hours. Naturally, Ramadan is a challenge for us.
