Not the same
How do you figure?
No fiber for one
I'm not sure if you are aware but there are other sources of fiber
Oh really, I did not know that.
Micro nutrients not found in a multi-vitamin.

I guess it depends on whether the "or" is meant to connect "processed" only to "food" or also to "sugar."WinoGelato wrote: »DeguelloTex wrote: »
To be fair, the OP did say she was cutting out sugar - which my initial reaction too was to inquire if that meant she was no longer going to eat fruit.
It's been my experience that people will say they mean to stop eating added sugar, not sugar naturally found in the fruit.

Do what works for you, but counting calories achieves a lot for many people.
I couldn't agree more! It helps when you're counting the right calories like how many in almonds and sweet potato rather than how many calories in icecream and chocolate
It matters not
Maybe this is part of some newfangled math program. Common Core maybe?

Oh I agree that's probably what the OP meant and what her response would be if someone inquired directly if by cutting out sugar, that meant that she wasn't going to eat ANY sugar, even that in fruits, vegetables, dairy, etc. Because then we inevitably get the discussion of biochemical pathways and how your body can't tell the difference b/w sugar from an apple and sugar from a snickers. Then someone brings up the straw man debate of, "of course you can eat a diet of all snickers and lose weight, but you won't be healthy", and someone says, "who said anything about eating 1500 cals of snickers".
Sigh. Another day on MFP...

Oh look, it's been so long since we had a thread demonizing sugar.0

I guess if one wants to go without sugar, that's fine with me - we all make our own choices for one reason or another.

It's like counting the right inches.

Ooooh, I see. As opposed to the wrong ones?

From offal I'd imagine. I think I remember reading somewhere that the Low Carb group did a meat only challenge a while back.I'm always asking this and am NOT trying to start a fight, but am genuinely curious. If you cut out fruits and veggies, where are you getting your vitamins and minerals?

Isn't coffee a processed food?0

It's true I should have specified I still eat sugars when they come in their natural forms e.g. Strawberries yum!0 -

Should have specified, my apologies

Sorry, in my own opinion, right calories to me is calories contained in natural food. I view counting the wrong calories as calories that are found in processed foods.
Again only my personal opinion and what I've experienced in my body 0 -

That it is I inserted it in brackets to infer that I understand it's still processed, it's the only thing I couldn't give up.
I'm not a 100% purist but for the sake of coffee I'm ok with that!0
