Is it recommended to have fast acting carbs after HIIT?

Hi,
I do HIIT x abs twice a week and after every session I take a whey protein shake with 30grams of sugar.
I'm fairly lean, abs showing clearly, but would like to lean up even more to burn off the last bit of fat on my lower abs.
Would the sugar impact my goal? Or is it still necessary to take after a workout to spike insulin for better protein absorption.
Thanks,
Castell
