Sugar

I have a question about sugar.

When I made the decision that I wanted to lose some weight, I minimized the carbohydrates and refined sugar.

I used to eat a ton of pasta and bread- I'd eat pasta meals 3-6 days a week and also a lot of ice cream,etc.

I never used to gain weight from this until recently (heck, I never even owned a scale). So, now I am trying to lose/maintain my weight so as to prevent going above.

I eat a little bit of carbs still, maybe a piece of whole wheat toast a day,etc., one pasta dish a week, etc.

But I was successful in cutting out all the junk food! I cut out the sugary coffee drinks I used to drink , the ice cream, etc. The only sugar I am consuming is from fruits, I eat several fruits throughout the day.


I lost a little weight in the beginning, but for the past couple of weeks, I was kind of stuck at a number that wasn't budging no matter what I did.

But last night I had a few tablespoons of ice cream! Maybe an ounce or two. (it was good!)
and this morning, my weight finally moved down a notch. I was wondering if it could have been from the sugar in the ice cream?

Also to note is that I hiked 9 miles over the weekend, and I walked 1 mile after dinner (before the ice cream) at a leisurely pace. When I weighed myself over the weekend and before I went to bed last night, I was still the same weight. It wasn't until this morning that the scale moved down.
