    Oh FFS!!!
    I didn't have to read beyond the first couple of paragraphs to roll my eyes at this crap.

    Demonizing a piece of freakin' BIRTHDAY CAKE??

    Know what happens when *I* eat birthday cake?
    I like it.
    And people around me know I'm sociable.
    And they like me.
    And I like them.

    And I get laid.
    And I like that, too.

    Moral of the story?
    Sugar phobia will make you unf***able.

    Best logic ever in a sugar thread. And since I had 413g of sugar (mostly from cake), I'm thinking things are looking good for my night :)

    if you get sick, blame the sugar..

    Next time I get sick, I'm just going to blame Mark Sisson.

    Grapefruit, for example, is a "negative calorie food" because it takes more energy out of your body (to digest it and assimilate its nutrients) than is supplied by the fruit itself.

    And now we know with 100% certainty that you have no idea what you are talking about.

    context and dosage is once again an important issue.

    I think that is it.. It's not that a few chocolate covered goji berrries will really hurt, but the whole bag?? And it's so hard to stop at a few. A serving of cake (how big is 1 serving anyway?? I mean really, not how much ever eats, how big is 1 serving) might be fine, but the entire cake? Besides going over in calories and having *kitten* t y macros to show for it. I'd be sick, with a headache, unable to concentrate, likely shaking and unable to sleep, i also crave more as soon as I finish my helping. Sugar cereal makes me feel like crap in the morning, an apple makes me feel great.. It's probably individual since there are so many others saying how it does not affect them.

    When I was in the Navy I ate an entire coldstone ice cream cake before my PRT. As far as I could tell it never hurt me at all (I'd even go so far as to claim it was the secret to my great run times but I don't have anything to actually back that up)

    And then I'd eat a whole roast chicken, a crap ton of potatoes, and a huge salad.

    Those were the days (of having a really high activity level)

    I should have said "negative net calories" but I was assuming that anyone but a knucklehead would understand that that was what I was talking about based on my explanation.

    trust me it was and is successful; you are trying too hard. And not an insult, but if you see it that way, maybe eat more grapefruit :flowerforyou: and a flower, just watch the flower intake, MFP calculations vary.

    The Primal Blueprin...

    Oh FFS...Mark Sisson is an outright fraud preying on people's emotions around eating. Why are people still referencing his nonsense?

    because it is easy to demonize sugar as the be all for everyone's weight gaining problems and then profit off it...

    It's like we've learned absolute nothing from the three decades of blaming all our problems on fat and cholesterol, and are now repeating the same idiocy with sugar.

    Great.

    No--it's that we know so much more about the bio-chemistry of excess blood sugar and its affect on a host of metabolic problems including, obesity, hypertension, cardiovascular disease, Type II diabetes, metabolic syndrome, renal disease. Overeating in general will cause high blood sugar levels. But the fastest and easiest way to raise blood sugar is through the eating of sugary foods. It would be very difficult to get chronic high blood sugar levels out of a diet of meat and vegetables. Thus, the reason why the Primal/Paleo diets work.

    did you READ what you linked?

    A negative-calorie food is a food that is incorrectly claimed to require more food energy to be digested than it provides. That is, its thermic effect – the caloric "cost" of digesting the food – is greater than its food energy content. The thermic effect is scientifically called specific dynamic action. While this concept is popular in dieting guides, there is no scientific evidence to support that any of the foods claimed as negative-calorie foods are such.
    Foods that are claimed to be negative in calories are mostly low-calorie fruits and vegetables such as celery, grapefruit, lemon, lime, apple, lettuce, broccoli, and cabbage.[2] There is no scientific evidence to show that any of these foods have a negative calorific impact.

    Well, you can laugh at it if you want to but you are laughing out of ignorance. You have never heard of "net calories" being lower because of the fiber in the food? I have seen threads discussing that very thing. Grapefruit (the reason why it is a "dieter's friend") is unusual in that regard. You can check the web further if you like and you will find it confirmed. If I cared enough (which I don't) I would go and retrieve something that you, in your exalted position, would find acceptable.

    Look, SM, it's great that you have been able to get over your illnesses through your change in dietary habits. Really... I mean it.
    But that doesn't mean that the choices YOU made are the only or best choices for others.
    At the end of the day, you lost weight because you cut down on calories. You did that by cutting out foods. It really is that simple.

    did you read up on bio chemistry on yahoo answers too??

    hoagwash, I eat a healthy amount of sugar each day and my blood work comes back almost perfect at my yearly physical. Plus, I have lost weight, kept weight off, increased strength, etc etc, all while eating foods that have sugar in them.

    so spare me the melodramatic sugar is evil garbage.

    If you over eat on calories you will be obese, which leads to health problems.

    "All foods have some calories. No food is actually "negative calorie" food. BUT the overall effect of certain foods in our body is that of "negative calories". Negative calorie foods are foods, which use more calories to digest than the calories the foods actually contain!

    Calories from these foods are much harder for the body to breakdown and process. In other words, the body has to work harder in order to extract calories from these foods. This gives these foods a tremendous natural fat-burning advantage.

    A piece of dessert consisting of 400 calories may require only 150 calories to be digested by our body, resulting in a net gain of 250 calories which is added to our body fat! According to this theory, for example, if you eat 100 calories of a food that requires 150 calories to digest, then you've burnt an additional 50 calories simply by eating that food."

    I found it interesting that sugar consumption leads to 'renal disease' ...

    and don't forget sugar was the third shooter on the grassy knoll...
