My rule of thumb is no packaged meals or snacks (we all, however, will have our cheat day every once in a while). I find recipes on the internet for muffins and snacks. People get fooled by those 100 calorie snacks which are such a scam. Look at the nutritional value in those. I can snack on a 1/4 cup of almonds and feel full and satisfied for a few hours. If you really want to go serious, check out the Paleo diet.0

I never was fat cause I moved around all the time while still eating TONS of sugar, which people seem to think and preach about making people fat. Also, it is not genetic. My youngest brother is over 300lbs. We grew up with the same diet but he was part of the "stay in and play video games" generation, while I was the "play outside from dawn to dusk" generation.
No I was never fat
I know I am sooo fat from snorting lines of sugarSugar makes us fat and it is addictive.
Where you ever fat? A lot of the people like myself who did gain a lot of weight in the past did so largely because of over eating sugary food.
Then you have no idea what it is like, easy enough to spout generic cookie cutter advice when you haven't been there. Sure someone who has a weight problem is 100% likely battling something mental and in turn can't "just have a little sugar"
Anyone who has battled any kind of bad habit/addiction whatever you want to call it can hardly take advice from someone who hasn't.
I have never been a smoker, yes I have tried them but I sure as hell am not going to say "that is why I don't buy that cigarettes give you cancer"
Wait till the Doc tells you that you are diabetic, All the running around you do wont mean a hoot. Keep pumping that suger and salt into your body, cause you will grow older and thats when the real fun starts !0 -
Still better than a hot pocket.shop the outside asiles of your grocery store first. Lots of veggies. I also buy the big bag of birds eye frozen veggies from Wal mart.
And how do the veggies get frozen and bagged? Processing...0 -
Yeah I will just like my 90 year old grandparents who eat the same way I do without health problems glad I am a special snowflake

You're saying that he's significantly more likely to become diabetic because of his sugar intake, despite his level of fitness and body composition.
There is pretty much zero data to support that claim.

And if you cross the street during rush hour traffic you could just get hit by a car or a truck or a plane or a train, of coarse thats just my opinion
its also called common sense.
Are you saying that if your mass is big that it does not matter how much sugar or salt you intake it has no bearing on your health ?
Where are you getting these facts from ?0 -

Produce scientific data that sugar causes diabetes irrespective of calorie intake, body composition, etc. I'm expecting something like a randomized control trial, case control trial, or prospective cohort study.
Seriously. If you have solid data that establishes a causative link between sugar consumption and diabetes within the confines of a calorie-controlled diet in active people of healthy body mass and low body fat, I will eat my hat.0 -

According to Mayo Clinic main risk factors for diabetes include being overweight, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, high blood pressure, inactivity, gestational diabetes, PCOS, race, family history.
Use of sugar and salt not in that list.0 -

Eating too much of pretty much anything and not moving enough causes those conditions. Many people that eat sugar and salt have healthy weights, normal blood work and normal blood pressure. If you can't control your intake,then maybe you should avoid these substance as much as you can. Doesn't mean than others shouldn't enjoy them.0 -

There is your answer --within the confines of a calorie-controlled diet. I never said that you could not have sugar. If you are not in the confines of a calorie-controlled diet then over-consumption of sugar regardless of body mass and low body fat will over a period of time have an impact on your health and can be a contributing factor in having diabetic problems.0 -

Oh, so you think eric_sg61 is not on a calorie-controlled diet, and that's why you predicted he will get diabetes.
He clearly has zero control over his calorie intake.0 -
Nope never said that. My entire point is you can not tell people to eat as much sugar as they like with out any regards to what may or may not happen later in life. Hey Like I told him its your lives , Place your bets !0
-
What I'm saying is that sugar and salt consumption do not cause diabetes. You are the one predicting that someone will get diabetes by eating sugar and salt even though they are normal weight and are active.
Do you have any data that proves that even if someone eats a lot sugar but has normal weight etc and is active has a higher risk of diabetes?0 -
Telling him that he will get it it or that he might get it are two different things. Maybe I should have said, Hey Eric later in life you may run into a problem if you consume way to much sugar. Maybe just maybe as you get older things change. Never said no-no -no you cant have any sugar.0
-
Do you have any data that it doesn't ? If you read those studies you quoted and dug a little deeper into what are contributing factors to those on that list over consumption of salt and sugars will be on those list. Notice I am not saying no-sugar -no salt- .0

Dude you basically told Eric that he's going to get diabetes because of his sugar intake, despite his obviously excellent fitness and calorie/macro control.
It was a silly, indefensible claim borne of the common myth that sugar causes diabetes.0 -
