Don't worry, these threads are a daily occurrence but most get mod nuked eventually. Wait till the GIFs start showing up then you know it won't be long.

people that are addicted to sugar get upset when you tell them sugar is bad for them. if they would just break the addiction they would understand, but they are not ready to do that yet.

Google image searching for that gif also yielded an picture of a lady wearing a bikini made of cookies though...I wonder what would happen if I posted that.

for real ..
walk in to AA and say hi my name is so and so and I am addicted to sugar ….and see what the reaction is...

I think you are good, that is barely PG. Now the girl with the tattoo of Cookie Monster eating her nipple . . .0 -

I never noticed the one of the nipple-eating tattoo...yikes!
Wow really? LOTS of people show more skin than that in their profile pics.0 -
Maniacal workplace laughter aside, why do you think people struggling with their weight is funny? It makes me sad when I see people coming on here with weight to lose and no real idea of how to do that, because I was one of them once.tedboosalis7 wrote: »rcottonrph1 wrote: »Watch "Fed Up".

It is a good idea to avoid both artificial sweeteners and limit added sugar that doesn't come naturally from fruits and vegetables.
Why would anyone flag this comment? It's dead spot-on accurate. So are several others that discuss the issue from a technical perspective.
When I quit eating processed foods and sucrose, I lost 50 pounds. I've said it a number of times (actually now it's 52 pounds as of this morning). I don't miss it at all. No cravings. I have sweets two cubicles away from me and I look at them and laugh. Then I laugh at all the poor saps gravitating to those foods. Then I shake my head when I see their body shapes - all of them are overweight. I was one of them at one time. No more.
There's no use for it. Doesn't mean it should be banned, far from it. Up to people to decide - but fructose with fiber metabolizes much differently than sucrose or anything that's a processed food. I know people who eat processed "diet" foods and they never lose weight. Gotta wonder why? It's not CICO - it's the issue of processed sugar.
FYI, "it's not CICO it's sugar" actually contributes to a lot of weight gain. Making people think that if they just avoid certain foods they can eat what they like is a recipe for binges.

I agree...I know I already called the guy out on this insane post before, but man, what a dickish thing to say, and to think about your coworkers.
I saw the call-outs as I went down but man oh man, does it bear repeating.0 -

You guys don't think it's cool to openly mock your coworkers and treat them as though they are beneath you? I can't understand why not.0 -

You know what works even better, at least in America?
Keep strict kosher.
*Any* plan that eliminates large sources of calories can get you to a deficit - which means its not the thing that's being eliminated that makes the difference - it's the act of elimination that causes the "magic".

You can eat real food at a deficit and loose the same amount a lot of people still enjoy sweets and took off the pounds0
