Stop Eating Sugar

[Buck]

Added sugar in particular. Most fruit is okay.

Please watch this.

I'm in no danger.

There are 84g of sugar in a pint of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. Most other ice cream has less.

There are 46g of sugar in a single can of Mt. Dew. I work with people who go through 4-6 cans of Mt. Dew every day. And eat greasy fried crap. And eat candy. And eat other shit with sugar.

No, eating a cup of ice cream each day won't kill you. Downing 4 cans of Mt. Dew per day and then gorging on other shit will.

Eating a nice bowl of ice cream while reading this thread. Live is good.

That's why the key is moderation.

Absolutely.

Exactly. But then, if you're doing all of that, you're not adhering to a moderate level of caloric intake, either.

Personally, I aim for 120g of protein per day (usually more, sometimes less), and then let the rest of the calories fall where they may. Lately, I've wanted ice cream, so that's what I eat.

Silock, I'm willing to bet that maybe about 2-3% of all the people on here are as fit as you. Maybe 5% max. If I ate a cup of ice cream a day I would be ****ed.

Who warped your mind into thinking like this?

Yes, but I was referring to the last part. You can have your cup of ice cream and be fine. Calories in vs. Calories out is what matters most. A cup of ice cream is fine as long as your also eating the right things during the day and you're not just laying on the couch 24/7.

There are different body types, people... jesus. One size doesn't fit all. Some people have to overcome genetics to be lean.

You haven't been paying attention to anything I've been saying about my diet apparently.

I think what he is saying is that just because your diet is obviously working, it isn't the only way to lose weight. Calories in vs calories out. Some people can eat ice cream and lose weight, as they are burning calories through the day either through a physical job or working out like a machine.

I was cutting with 3,000 calories when I was super active and Olympic lifting everyday for 2 years. I could eat plenty of food and actually had to eat plenty of carbs just to meet my calories so I didn't lose weight too fast.

And the video I posted says that calories in vs out isn't it. The lady scientist says that sugar calories aren't the same.

I don't think anyone watched the video. Of course you don't have to take it for fact, but nobody has even mentioned it.

[Simply Red]

Here is the average CP'ers idea of drinking in moderation.




So yeah, I'd like to know what 'in moderation' equals. Seems like it could vary from person to person and opinion to opinion. What if somebody DID have a sugar addiction and they simply want to try to cut it out of their life, is that entirely bad? I think that was what Buck was after here.

I don't think that's accurate. I've never read anything showing sugar or HFCS to have more than 4 calories per gram. Your body eventually breaks down all carbohydrates to their basic components. Sugar is no different.
