wrong Beliefs

If you don't get your nutritional information from the covers of magazines while checking out at the grocery store, you'll soon realize sugar isn't the enemy. That's not a "belief". That's a fact.4

If someone is satisfied and meeting their goals while consuming sugar, what will a documentary help? To cut or not cut sugar is based on the needs and wants of the individual. Why would someone try to change what they need or want by watching what I'm sure is sugar-hating propaganda? (no, I didn't watch and I'm not going to.)1 -
Documentaries focus on the agenda they are trying to institute. Rarely are there any balanced ones that offers EQUAL evidence from both sides. You got sucked into this like anyone else who watched it.kinderlada wrote: »I agree,I stopped eating sugar 20 days ago ,and i feel great,just take your time and watch a documentary "All that sugar",here's the link :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QLoXZ-p9OlE

And if anyone is decently smart in math for that video, 42 teaspoons of sugar consumed is about 700 calories. DUH, if one reduced that by half, one has already reduced the calorie deficit of 500 for a 1lbs weight loss by more than half. Now just reduce 150 calories more and voila, 500 calorie deficit. Granted even 24 teaspoons of sugar a day is quite high, but ALL of the issues that the video claims is more due to someone being overweight than just blaming it on sugar. Being nutrient deficient isn't even discussed, just what over consumption of sugar does. DUH. If I over consumed anything (alcohol, protein, candy, medication, water) it's going to have an effect on the body.

Seriously, people need to educate themselves and use some common sense.
To condemn one food is ridiculous.
If you consume more calories than you burn you gain weight. This is fact. Just as, if you consume less calories than you burn, you lose weight. Simple fact.1 -
Some think that the food is the main reason for weight gain but this wrong my friend, I know people from my family and friends and eat only one meal a day, so they think will diminish their weight quickly but the opposite happened, some increased weight,
They were in a state of shock and surprise of what happened.
After several days of searching for the main reason that causes weight gain.
What you think?
The reason sugars, they increased their sugary drinks, sweets, and chocolate.
They decided to leave everything that contains sugar and here their weight began to decrease and now they are very happy.
DON NOT eat or drink anything contains a high proportion of SUGAR
You are right--that's a good example of a wrong belief.
Overall calories determine whether or not you gain weight (along with your activity and size, of course). What you eat is important, although for other reasons, like nutrition.
How many meals you eat is irrelevant -- meals can vary in how many calories they have quite a lot. Also, not sure how you increase sugary drinks, sweets, and chocolate on one meal -- are they eating those as part of the meal or not counting them as also meals/snacks?
I have recently (because of the weather) gotten bored with and unenthused for my usual vegetable omelet in the morning and want something cold and, ideally, liquid. Have been having smoothies with fruit, veg, hemp, and vegan protein powder--lots of sugar, but every bit as filling for me, and I feel great.1 -

What if I told you....
I lost 90lbs including sugary foods and drink in my WOE and have proof?
So, are you saying that you know better than scientists and dieticians?
Calories ARE king. Just because you know of those who supposedly eat one meal, doesn't mean they eat less calories than they burn.amusedmonkey wrote: »sweets, and chocolate are high in fat and low in moisture which means they have a lot of calories in a small volume. Sugary drinks go right through you and don't keep you full long.
It doesn't matter how many meals your relatives have, if they are eating too many calories in foods that don't fill them up (potential for even more calories) they will gain weight.
the calories in food needs to be accounted for, sugary or otherwise. Many people here consume sugary foods and lose weight without problems because they know how to stay in a deficit.
Guys,
You probably already know that eating too much added sugar can make you fat—but how overweight or obese will you get? Until now, the research done on how sugar affects your health has been somewhat sketchy, but a new review of the latest and greatest science by New Zealand researchers has it all up a bit.
The results, published today on BMJ.com, found that (drumroll please)...
People who ate less sugar (without being told to lose weight) lost an average of 1.8 pounds over a period of 10 weeks to 6 months.
Similarly, people who increased their sugar intake gained 1.7 pounds, with most studies lasting less than 8 weeks. Small changes, yes, but over time this weight gain can really add up.
On average, people who eat more added sugar eat more calories. That doesn't mean that sugar makes you fat, and doesn't matter if you count calories. (I generally think that a healthful diet won't have that much added sugar anyway, although some is perfectly fine, of course, so worrying about sugar separate from just eating a good diet seems odd and unnecessary to me. But then I've never eaten crazy amounts of sugar and certainly don't waste calories on soda (I use my calories for foods I particularly enjoy, not saying a soda is a bad thing if you love them and consider the calories worth it).)0 -

There's also the need to explain on how animals that live of mainly fruit and "sugared" plants aren't getting obese.

I'd suggest watching a few episodes of Secret Eaters, but I have a feeling the response might be a link to a Lustig video.2

Guys,

Similarly, people who increased their sugar intake gained 1.7 pounds, with most studies lasting less than 8 weeks. Small changes, yes, but over time this weight gain can really add up.
So why does sugar make you fat? The researchers suspect that, unsurprisingly, people who eat sugar get more calories than they burn off with physical activity. In addition, sugar-sweetened beverages are less filling than naturally sweet foods like fruit, so you’re more likely to overindulge with a soda than an apple. And don’t forget the sweetened snacks—they are energy dense, meaning one box of mini-donuts really packs on the pounds.
The solution? Cut back on sugar in your diet (duh), but don’t stop at the obvious culprits like sodas and chocolate bars. Keep an eye out for these surprising sugar bombs—and you’ll be healthier in no time.
Love the "Guys" in front of the article you quoted without including quotes: mensfitness.com/nutrition/what-to-eat/study-is-sugar-really-making-you-fat

Wow!! OP, that is dishonest.0 -
Also, even the conclusion states it's because of an energy surplus.Conclusions Among free living people involving ad libitum diets, intake of free sugars or sugar sweetened beverages is a determinant of body weight. The change in body fatness that occurs with modifying intakes seems to be mediated via changes in energy intakes, since isoenergetic exchange of sugars with other carbohydrates was not associated with weight change.0

This is ridiculous
Study after study has proved that surplus calories lead to weight gain
That sugar is not an obesogenic
And that the reason the anti sugar campaign has legs is because sugar is generaly wrapped up with carbs and fat to create highly palatable and easy to access foods that people eat without limit1 -

Strong first post.
The OP's, too. He currently has 3 and 2 were in this thread.
The main takeaway here, folks, is that correlation doesn't equal causation. Just because cutting sugar from the diet results in weight reduction doesn't mean it was entirely due to cutting sugar. The overall calorie reduction is what resulted in the weight loss.1 -
as you've plagiarised

I agree with most of what you say, but you lost me here.
First let's go over what I agree with. Sugar has no real nutritional value and doesn't make you feel full and satisfied. It has a lot of calories. People find it yummy. When you add all that up, it's easy to over-eat if your diet includes a lot of sugar. That's a real danger, and people are wise to look out for it.
Now as a cyclist, I can tell you people who do a lot of physical activity tend to eat sugar. Whenever I plan to spend more than 3 hours at a time on my bike, I bring a bag of peanut M&Ms with me. They give me energy when I'm running out but still need to get home. They're easy to carry. I can eat them without getting off my bike. Most cyclists (and runners and hikers) use gels and stuff because it's easy and convenient and provides energy quickly when it's needed.0
