    I personally belive that it's Important to differentiate between natural sugar and added sugar (especially high fructose corn syrup). I avoid anything with HFCS. I get most of my sugar from fruit (which includes fiber). It all impacts the way the body breaks it down and process it. If anyone is interested, you should watch "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" on YouTube...it is very informative.

    I also understand the argument of CICO dieting. I agree that you can lose weight of you eat less calories than you burn...makes perfect sense. But it is Important to realize that just because you are losing weight, doesn't mean you're getting all the nutrients you need. I could eat my allowed calories in doughnuts, but nutritionally I would be unhealthy (yet still losing weight).

    I personally like to eat "whole" foods such as veggies, meat/poultry, and fruits. I try to limit my bread/carbs, processed foods and added sugar. This is just my opinion...it works for me and it is a philosophy I believe in.
