    What is the lesser of 2 evils? Sugars or Fats? You burn sugars first so I would think sugars correct?

    Neither are evil.

    Both are bad and both are good. You want healthy sugars and healthy fats. Refined and bleached sugars are not healthy, but sugars that occur naturally in fruits are. If you can opt for complex sugars like oatmeal or 100% whole grain, then awesome! Remember: 1 teaspoon of sugar is only 12 calories, so use that in your coffee instead of gross chemicals like aspertame and sucralose. Animal fats and hydrogenated oils are not healthy, but plant fats are, like avocado or nuts or seeds.

    You do burn sugars first, but that is your fuel, so don't skimp. As long as you are in a total calorie deficit, you should be losing.

    :huh:
