    Yeah, I was going to attempt to reply, but I think I'll just back away slowly...

    As long as you eat 40 hot dogs at a time, it doesn't matter!

    What about the guys who lost weight eating nothing but oreos and twinkies? It certainly isnt healthy, but it will always be calories in and calories out in terms of weight loss.

    He didn't eat nothing but that. He also supplemented with protein shakes and multis. But yes, CICO does still rule in the end, so far as weight loss or gain goes.

    PEOPLE listen when I tell you that sugar in and of itself is NOT the problem. IT IS THE AMOUNT OF SUGAR they put in every single thing we eat. The amount of sugar that they are putting in our food is to much for the body to deal with and so therefore the body starts breaking down at all levels.

    ...The only people that use the measurement of grams on a reg basis are drug users and dealers.

    ...I made the decision to eliminate a large portion of those chemicals and additives, especially SUGAR from my diet sometime in the middle of 2014 and in 3 MOS I dropped 25lbs going from 225 to 200.

    We are in agreement that the amount of sugar we, as a society, eat is the problem. But I don't think hidden sugar is the biggest problem. IMO, it's that treats are a mainstay rather than few and far between.

    Apparently I'm a drug user. Or just a Canadian who uses the metric system.

    Congratulations on the weight loss.

    HAVE YOU EVER WONDERED WHY THEY MEASURE SUGAR IN GRAMS on our food labels? The only people that use the measurement of grams on a reg basis are drug users and dealers.

    Here, have a map that shows the countries that don't use grams (in red).

    Indeed, and everyone else is a drug dealer or user. That's why the US military budget is what it is.

    I mean, duh! The metric system is the true evil empire.

    You can't decimate things without decimals, get with the programme/program!

    Wait, when did we start killing off exactly 1/10th of things? And isn't decimating something inherently metric?

    :coffee:

    When we were Romans! And yes it is, which is why non-metric countries have that military budget!
