Just wondered if anyone has noticed added sugar destroying their progress. I hopefully want to stay away from talking about fruit sugars etc... everyone knows that fruits contain fiber and micro-nutrients which are healthful. I've never thought weight loss was/is only about a calorie in and out. I think macro and micro nutrition is equally important... Do you find that your weight loss stalls with empty sugar calories even if you're under your TDEE?

Just curious since a lot of the other sugar topics are part of group discussions that are locked.

    Sugar doesn't bother my weight loss. The only stalls I get are due to ToM.

    Doesn't stall mine. I couldn't think of any biochemical or physiological reason it would either. Carbs pretty much all get broken down to glucose during digestion anyway.

    This... damn the ToM. I can pretty much track the ToM via the scale. Sugar in moderation, even normal ol sucrose sweetened stuffs, doesn't bother weight loss at all.

    Don't know what it is, but my body hates when I don't eat a fully balanced meal: protein/fat/carb... it's why I make whey ice cream.

    I can hit my macros for the day but if I eat a good portion of ice cream for that day GG.

    It stalls mine. I only lose weight when I lower my carb intake period.

    Doesn't stall mine--actually, the opposite: my treats help keep me on track. Since I don't feel deprived, it's easier to stick to a deficit.
