I guess the report missed that it's too many calories consumed and not enough calories burned that actually causes obesity. Not sugar.

Hell, you can become overweight eating nothing but meat, or vegetables.

Those silly people at Queensland University of Technology have really overlooked the obvious.
Email QUT so they can stop wasting precious resources.

Yes, they have. Of course, they're not wrong. Excess anything food-wise will lead to obesity, except maybe prunes. Excess prunes will make you lose weight faster than Sugar Free Haribo Gummi Bears.

So I started using MFP yesterday. This morning I woke up with a nasty headache. I've decided to still drink my morning coffee, but without the sugar. I'm eating natural sugars still, just not the granulated stuff. Why am I so tired, cranky, pounding head, ready to snap someone in 2 today. It's only the second day and I'm ready to give up.
I've been on diets before. Many, I've tried them all. I'm at my heaviest I've ever been, 280 lbs, and can't function anymore. My whole body aches. I've never felt so *kitten* after the first day on a diet. I just wanna curl up I'm a corner and die. Any ideas on how to get over sugar withdrawal?

Evolution not revolution- just gradually change the balance rather than eliminate is a good idea for some as others have suggested although cold turkey my be a lot quicker. Took years for me to not have sugar in tea, coffee etc -my choice not based anything except a preference. I don't think I was addicted but was really hard changing as I liked the flavour. Now I can't stand the sweetness in tea/coffee and other stuff.
