You really should read the research I posted.

LOL, no. Stop paying attention to quacks.

I liked fathead-movie.com...it's based upon the paleo diet. Has nothing to do with sugar but with the way foods are processed by the body into sugar. Wheat bread is as close to eating granulated sugar as possible.

Eat meat, you'll be fine. Pass the bacon, please.

Wheat bread? Really?

By the way, I haven't eaten more than maybe 10-15 g of sugar in a single day in the last 6 months.

I used to have super high blood pressure, but now it's normal. Also my Cholesterol is in the "ideal" range for all measurements. That's weird because I thought eating more fat was supposed to kill you...oh well.

How many less calories are you taking in? Did you try a similar caloric restriction before?

About 500.

Point is that eating a low sugar, high fat diet won't kill you.

You are quite obtuse.

25 year old guy stops eating like shit and starts working out to the astonishing effect of almost immediate recovery of his health. It's gotta be the sugar!

This guy (a professor of human nutrition) ate sugary foods (twinkies, snack cakes, etc) for 10 weeks. He lost weight, and lowered his cholesterol.

I'm 26.

Do you tell your mom to cook your meals without carbs?


Ok, sorry. Had to go there. All the best for anyone that can stick to a diet, whatever diet they choose. Just know there is more than one way to skin a cat.

Never said it would. You didn't answer my question.

Good on ya. Oddly, a lot of folks want to argue when you stop eating this, that or the other thing. Do what makes you feel better and let them do the same. One size does not fit all.

Michael Pollan's 7 rules:

Don't eat anything your great grandmother wouldn't recognize as food. "When you pick up that box of portable yogurt tubes, or eat something with 15 ingredients you can't pronounce, ask yourself, "What are those things doing there?" Pollan says.
Don’t eat anything with more than five ingredients, or ingredients you can't pronounce.
Stay out of the middle of the supermarket; shop on the perimeter of the store. Real food tends to be on the outer edge of the store near the loading docks, where it can be replaced with fresh foods when it goes bad.
Don't eat anything that won't eventually rot. "There are exceptions -- honey -- but as a rule, things like Twinkies that never go bad aren't food," Pollan says.
It is not just what you eat but how you eat. "Always leave the table a little hungry," Pollan says. "Many cultures have rules that you stop eating before you are full. In Japan, they say eat until you are four-fifths full. Islamic culture has a similar rule, and in German culture they say, 'Tie off the sack before it's full.'"
Families traditionally ate together, around a table and not a TV, at regular meal times. It's a good tradition. Enjoy meals with the people you love. "Remember when eating between meals felt wrong?" Pollan asks.
Don't buy food where you buy your gasoline. In the U.S., 20% of food is eaten in the car.

500 per day?
