in Health and Weight Loss
Do it is necessary that stop intaking sugar while losing the weight. My daily portion plan allow me to restrict at 50 gram but I unable to restricted my self in it. My daily calories intake is 1500 and I restricts myself near 1200 to 1300 calories. I burn almost 600 calories in a day. Does this routine will helps me in losing weight or shall I revise my calories plan?

    It’s always beneficial to limit ultra processed foods which usually contain a high amount of sugar however ultimately it’s overall weekly calorie consumption that dictates whether you’ll lose weight or not.

    Fat loss is a product of a consistent weekly calorie deficit over time

    The issue with sugar calories is, that it has no nutritional value. If I drink coffee with sugar, and I go for a walk, my body will first use the 5 or 10 grams of sugar, 20 to 40 calories. And only after that the body will signal to turn on fatburn. If you eat a sandwich, your body starts processing the food, what cost energy, and raises your bloodsugar slowly, making it easier to spend that energy before it is stored in fat. I also use sugar in my diet, but that is because I do not eat big enough meals. After a month of struggling to get above 1200kcal, I added a crapton of fruit. All that is not consumed snacking during the day is put in the blender with some Kwark as a late night snack. Did you research how much protein your body needs, to build/maintain muscle mass? That was for me the biggest reason to reduce my sugar intake.

    If you are eating 1200 calories and burning 600, you are essentially eating only 600 calories. That is too few. There can be serious health consequences from eating too little as it is impossible to get good nutrition on that few calories. It also becomes very hard to continue to restrict your eating, which is very counter-productive. Better to eat more, mosty nutritious food. A little sugar is fine, but many people find that eating sugar makes it hard to eat only a little bit. i.e. one cookie becomes 2 becomes 3 cookies. And then you've just eaten 450 calories that have little nutritional value. Better to eat protein, vegetables, fruit etc.

    Sugar?

    Eating a lot of added sugar (sometimes called free sugar) is probably sub-ideal for most people. Doing that makes it hard to get appropriate calories with adequate nutrition. It tends to push us to getting too many calories, not enough nutrition, or both. If so, bad.

    Eating a calorie-appropriate diet that's mostly nutrient-dense whole foods can result in reaching an MFP sugar total over the default goal amount, though. If you're eating reasonable calories (sounds like you're eating too few, TBH), and getting good overall nutrition, going over the MFP default sugar goal is fine.

    Good overall nutrition is hitting a reasonable protein minimum, a reasonable fats minimum (with some MUFAs/PUFAs and Omega-3s in the mix), and eating plenty of varied, colorful veggies/fruit for micronutrients and fiber, more or less.

    I went over the MFP default sugar goal every day while losing weight, while eating truly negligible amounts of added sugar. I've done the same for almost 8 years of maintaining a healthy weight since. The sugar I was/am eating was almost entirely inherent sugar in fruits, veggies, dairy foods. It wasn't a barrier to either reasonable calories or good overall nutrition. If that's where you are, I say "don't worry about it".

    If you're getting a lot of added sugar from soda/pop, baked goods, candy, and that sort of thing, it would probably be helpful to eat less of that stuff.

    You’re mistaking temporary eating situations as a reason for Fatloss or gain when in reality it’s the longer term calories in and out that will determine the losses or gains or stable weight.

    I just tried to make a point why, food/nutrition calories are far superior to sugar calories. People unable to cut out sugar while on a calorie restricted diet sometimes need the sugar rush to get active. Making being active way harder as they have a bloodsugar dip. Ofcourse loosing weight is cico. But getting active, and loosing weight in the process is a whole different game.
