Sugar is much worse.
Your body needs fat for brain function, cell renewal, and satiety. As long as the majority of fats that you're eating are the healthy ones .
Your body doesn't need sugar for anything. Most of what you eat is converted into glucose, and sugar is already glucose, hence why it makes your blood sugar spike; your body doesn't need much energy to digest it.
Also, if you're prone to binges, healthy fats tends to help ward off the urge
Are you sure your body doesn't need sugar for anything?
Not unless you're doing a marathon or something and need immediate energy! Carbs are sugar, just a more complex form. You don't need the literal, simple sugar for every day life is all i'm saying
So you'd be perfectly fine with a blood glucose level of 0?
Way to take my words and twist them into meaning something else. And I thought I was the journalist here.
Your body converts a huge percentage of what you eat into glucose. So your body CONVERTS IT INTO SUGAR ITSELF. You don't need to eat literal sugar. It's adorable that you're trolling and trying to start fights though.
"Your body doesn't need sugar for anything"
So who is twisting words, what does that mean exactly, either your body does or does not need sugar.
^^^ truth...where as fat is needed for hormone function dietary carbohydrates are not necessary... so the answer is fat is more important to eat, but both sugar and fat are good for you.0 -

Wow.
You know, there are a lot of ways to disagree with someone and you seem to consistently do it an antagonistic and condescending way.

I've noticed I can easily go over on my sugar just by eating 2 fruits in a day but fruit is supposed to be good for you right? It's so confusing!0

At what level of deficit do you start storing sugar as fat?
I ask because it is just not true.
What are the two types of fat that you refer to?0 -
"I just knew as soon as I walked in, that it was going to be a fiasco"
here comes the starvation mode debate after the WTF does sugar do again argument... stay tuned for more.0 -
Moderate amounts of fat are actually good and necessary. Fats are one of the signals that the body looks for, so you feel like you have eaten enough. Sugar either gets used or stored and does nothing for appetite satisfaction. There is a really informative book called 'The Perfect 10 Diet' by Michael Aziz. I don't agree with everything he has to say. There is a lot that does make sense though. Get your sugar in the morning and moderate amounts of fat with each meal. Just my two cents worth.0

That protein shake will spike your insulinz as well, so if the point is to avoid insulin spikes, a protein shake is a horrible alternative0 -

Your body also needs sugar for brain function. Your brain cannot run on fat, it MUST have sugar to function.0
