that does not sound like a problem unless said food is putting you in a surplus.0 -
I agree with this.
I find my willpower is definitely weaker around sugar in social situations, but it is not an addiction. That's whole other ballgame.
However, it's 100% acceptable to moderate sugar intake-this would include sweet stuff, fruits, and vegetables, and anything else that contains sugar.0 -

You forget, sugar = morbid obesity and fatty death. Eating a head of lettuce is obviously much more "healthy".
Not necessarily. People can be morbidly obese and not eat a lot of sugar. They can also be thin and eat a lot of sugar, both added and natural. As to weight loss, it's calories in/calories out, because obesity comes from eating too much food.
However, poor nutrition can result from overloading on too much overall sugar/carbs and not including enough of your essential macros, such as fat and protein.0
