    I agree with seeking out uncured bacon rather than turkey bacon. It tastes better and is lower in calories and sodium. Also agree with eating the fruit itself rather than drinking the juice. Fruit juice is a heavy-duty sugar bomb.

    I tend to go over sugar also. But I don't eat anything with cane sugar, sugar beets, high fructose corn syrup, rice syrup, maple syrup, etc.

    All of my sugar sources come from fruit, veggies and occasionally RAW honey. These are all packed with nutrients and are metabolized different than the list above.

    OH and I would have eaten the whole egg. I AM a fan of the yolk.

    The yolk is where all the micronutrients are. You may as well have protein powder if all you're having is the white.

    If you live on high sugar foods (cake, chocolate, non-diet soda, sweets, candy, et al) you will gain weight unless you use the calories. Period. End of.

    where have I said this isn't true? that is also true of ANY food if you eat more calories that you consume. My link was in response to this - key work in bold since you seem to be ignoring some of my responses.

    "sugar ups your insulin levels in the body which makes your body store fat."



    Again sugar is not evil or the enemy too much of anything is bad for you. Eat in moderation.

    I'm not out of this as I just CBA.

    You are missing the point. The post is about sugar in food. The article you cite is about insulin, and has many flaws. It is not relevant.

    Hmm . . . I'm so scared of spiking my insulin this is now what ALL my meals are going to look like.

    1 table spoon of butter

    1 tablespoon of olive oil

    1 table spoon of pure goose fat

    1 table spoon of vegetable oil.

    I don't want to spike my big scary insulin.

    Add some protein and that's not a bad plan for some people. Being carbophobic can be lifesaving for people who are diabetic or prediabetic. I'm glad that I don't need to go to that extreme.

    Thank you all for the advice. I was a bit discouraged at first, but these comments put things into perspective. I'll stick with regular bacon.

    Skip the OJ and replace it with an orange and glass of water -- that would be my first step.

    For sure! I have been hearing how OJ is not too good for you. I have been drinking water for every meal...I was an avid soda drinker but now it is just water and the occasional homemade Kombucha!

    I go over my sugar by breakfast too, even if it's a bit of organic unpasteurised honey in my coffee and a banana. I think the sugar settings on here are crazily low. I just focus on the calories and that is working great for me. Going wild with refined sugar is probably not a long-term great idea, but honestly, everything in moderation is ok. I've been losing about a pound per week even though my sugar has gone over every single day without exception.
