    Ummm...what was the topic? Pet food?

    I suppose. Trying to prove that cats and dogs get diabetes because of sugar, which be proxy proves humans get diabetes because of sugar.


    Meanwhile my great grandmother is as slim as she's ever been, isn't diabetic, and eats more sugar than I do (My grammy has been counting calories since before counting calories was cool, btw. It's almost like even though she likes sweets she keeps it within a reasonable calorie amount and thus doesn't gain weight.)

    Yep! They are healthier. And I bet your grandma grew up eating home cooked meals on a cast iron that was covered in 50 layers of bacon grease. Prior to world war 2, corn and grains were secondary to meat and vegetables. There is a reason that this generation will be the first to under-live their parents.

    People are so freaking mean on this site. You guys are all forgetting that eating foods high in sugar all day long can do a hell of a lot of **** to your teeth for a start. I've got a cavity right now because even though I brushed my teeth three times a day I ate lots of sugary foods IN BETWEEN brushing my teeth (fruit, cereal bars, jello, frozen yogurt, dried fruit, etc - not even stuff like chocolate and cookies!). You might not need to eat a low sugar diet to help lose weight but people might choose to do it for other reasons and it's their prerogative to do so. God almighty the amount of people on here berating you for your choices.. now I remember why I don't usually go on the forums.

    What I proved is that someone with "very expensive, extensive training" doesn't always have a clue and should be careful on the "knowledge" that he/she tries to impart on others. And at the very least might consider doing some "research" before putting out blatantly false information.

    Sand..... There isn't much sugar in sand.

    This is just not true, sand is just granulated rock and therefore has been processed and we all know that anything processed has tons of sugar added to it. :smile:

    Oh Please..... My Grandmother cooked with a bucket of lard by the stove I will give you that much but she had Ice cream in the fridge, Archway cookies and White Bread on the table, She made Scratch made pancakes in a crock and scratch made syrup in a sauce pan with Karo corn syrup and brown sugar several times a week for breakfast (because EVERYONE wanted those pancakes and scratch made syrup), she made homemade pudding (you know the kind you cook on the stove and when it cools it gets that layer of yummy goodness on top), She fed my dad and her family this way daily, worked 3 jobs as did my grandfather and the women lived to 97, Grandpa was 91.... Her generation lived through the great depression and I guarantee they ate whatever the could provide cause it was either that or starve.... If anyone in this generation dies before there parents it has more to do with stuffing their face beyond there calorie needs and refusing to get the arses off the couch and get in some exercise period.....

    If you are doing this as well as a 1200 calorie diet I would think the only thing that would keep you somewhat full throughout the day would be 1 steak in the morning & 1 steak at night. You might be able to get some greens in there, too. Don't forget your vitamins, b/c you will HAVE to take tons of them if you are not eating fruits & veggies. Low fat dairy is out b/c of the higher sugar content and so are most processed foods & not just b/c of the sugar content but b/c of the high calories. Again, this is based on if you are following a 1200 cal diet.

    Good luck with your journey!

    I try to spread my calories out through the day to keep myself feeling full, and I set up MFP for 6 time periods of about 3 hours each. 5 small meals per day has worked pretty well for me.

    I wonder how many pounds of carrots one has to eat to get a cavity? The high amounts of vitamin A in carrots build tooth enamel and are thought to clean the gums, but the high amounts of sugar probably cancel this out. What to do, what to do?

    The reason I lost 130 pounds was because I ATE NO SUGAR. No processed sugar at least. It's fairly easy way to lose weight.

    And eat sugar free puddings, anything sugar free is okay. You may bloat but if you still want some flavor and joy from food go for it. I myself eat only sugar free snacks. :)

    Question. How do you think animals get diabetes? No one in their right mind would feed their animals tons of sugar- cats don't even taste sugar so they wouldn't be inclined to eat it anyway. (and DO NOT tell me it is added into their pet food. I'm a vet assistant and know that to be untrue.)

    Answer: Obesity and poor diet. So just to be clear not related to consuming sugar.

    Holy hell, it is scary that you are a vet tech. What do you think the primary ingredient in most cat food is? CORN. A carb, AKA sugar, a carb. Cat's are supposed to be on high protein diets. Sure Cat's get fat because of POOR DIET, and INACTIVITY. But you can bet that a cat on a grain free diet is going to be FAR healthier than a cat eating whatever comes from the cheapest shelf in a walmart pet aisle. You are not going to see an "Obese" cat on a grain free diet, that is for sure.

    Heres what most people feed their cats(Note "by-product", "corn, corn, rice, cellulose"):
    Chicken by-product meal, corn gluten meal, ground yellow corn, brewers rice, powdered cellulose, beef tallow preserved with mixed tocopherols (source of vitamin E), turkey by-product, salmon meal, fish meal source of oceanfish flavor), brewers dried yeast, gelatin, soybean oil, calcium carbonate, animal digest, potassium chloride, alfalfa, gelatin, phosphoric acid, tetra sodium pyrophosphate, salt, choline chloride, taurine, l-lysine zinc sulfate, ferrous sulfate, l-alanine, dl-methionine, yellow 6, manganese sulfate, niacin, vitamin E supplement, yellow 5, copper sulfate, red 40, calcium pantothenate, blue 2, vitamin A supplement, thiamine mononitrate, riboflavin supplement, rosemary extract, pyridoxine hydrochloride, sodium selenite, vitamin B12 supplement, sodium selenite, folic acid, calcium iodate, vitamin D3 supplement, biotin, menadione sodium bisulfite complex (source of vitamin K activity).

    Heres what is in what I feed my cat:
    Chicken,Chicken Broth,Water,Turkey,Chicken Liver,Egg Whites,Potato Starch,Natural Flavor,Sodium Phosphate,Dried Egg,Potassium Chloride,Carrageenan,Taurine,Salt,Vitamin A Supplement,Thiamine Mononitrate (Vitamin B1),Riboflavin(Vitamin B2),Niacin (Vitamin B3),d-Calcium Pantothenate (Vitamin B5),
    Pyridoxine Hydrochloride (Vitamin B6),Biotin (Vitamin B7),Folic Acid (Vitamin B9),Vitamin B12 Supplement,Vitamin D3 Supplement,Vitamin E Supplement,Iron Amino Acid Chelate,Zinc Amino Acid Chelate,Copper Amino Acid Chelate,Manganese Amino Acid Chelate,Potassium Iodide,Choline Chloride,Calcium Carbonatetobacillus acidophilus fermentation product,Dried Bacillus subtilis fermentation product,Dried Enterococcus faecium fermentation product

    And proteins and fats are broken down into glucose through gluconeogenesis.

    I'm not sure if you are agreeing or disagreeing with me, but yes, that is exactly why animals (including humans) on low carb diets do not get hypoglycemic. Our body creates its own glucose. And we can also enter the state of ketosis, where it no longer uses glucose as a fuel, and instead burns fat and ketones for energy.

    I was disagreeing with you.

    I'll be nice about this. Meats, eggs, almonds, peanuts, carrots, green beans, lettuce, water. Probably most veggies, now that I think about it.

    To note; I made it pretty clear on another thread where I sit on the whole "sugar is teh devuls!!!!" nonsense. It involves the word "nonsense". But, if you wanna restrict your calories by eating low sugar foods, knock yourself out. The above list, along the other lists that have been provided, should give you a good idea of where to start, and should taste good.

    Since the OP is scared of carrots, with 5 g of sugar in 100 grams of carrots, I doubt she's going to be willing to eat almonds (4 g of sugar in 100 g of almonds); maybe she'll be able to deal with lettuce (1 gram of sugar in 100 grams of butterhead lettuce), but I doubt it.
    No sugar in peanuts or green beans (but that won't stop her body from breaking the complex carbs down into glucose).


    It's pretty clear that the OP is not going to listen to anyone who tells her anything she doesn't want to hear, but one more try: That sugar goal/limit MFP puts on your food diary? That's for ADDED sugar. ADDED. The USDA's dietary guidelines say no more than 5% to 15% of your calories from added sugar. That's 19 to 57 grams of ADDED sugar if you're eating 1500 calories a day, or 15 to 46 grams of ADDED sugar if you're eating 1200 calories a day. The American Heart Association says no more than 100 calories (25 grams) of ADDED sugar per day for women. I really don't think there's any reputable medical advise out to stop eating carrots because they have too much sugar in them.

    Excuse me, I'm not scared of carrots. I like carrots but if I'm trying to lower my sugar by even the slightest I'd like a less sugary thing to eat and where does it state that the MFP sugar is for added sugar?

    The MFP mods regularly state that tracking sugar is useless and you should just track overall carbs. Usually it is psulemon that I see posting this.

    It isnt super clear on that your right, but it is for added sugar. Fiber is what is coming along with that sugar and it really is amazing for weightloss. You can eat a lot of veggies get full for very few calories. Look at a fruitatarian they are super skinny and eat nothing but fruit. ( not saying do that, but they aren't fat.) What makes people fat is eatting more calories than they burn. Simple sugar is full of calories. Fruits and veggies not only are lower calories, but have so many wonderful vitamins your body needs. Be reasonable and be kind to yourself. Super restrictive diets mean failure.

    I raise you actual studies.

    Metabolic and behavioral effects of a high-sucrose diet during weight loss.

    http://www.alanaragonblog.com/2010/01/29/the-bitter-truth-about-fructose-alarmism



    Here are studies that show GI didn't make a significant difference

    An 18-mo randomized trial of a low-glycemic-index diet and weight change in Brazilian women

    http://www.ajcn.org/content/86/3/707.abstract

    Conclusions: Long-term weight changes were not significantly different between the HGI and LGI diet groups; therefore, this study does not support a benefit of an LGI diet for weight control. Favorable changes in lipids confirmed previous results.



    Reduced glycemic index and glycemic load diets do not increase the effects of energy restriction on weight loss and insulin sensitivity in obese men and women.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16177201

    In summary, lowering the glycemic load and glycemic index of weight reduction diets does not provide any added benefit to energy restriction in promoting weight loss in obese subjects.



    Long-term effects of 2 energy-restricted diets differing in glycemic load on dietary adherence, body composition, and metabolism in CALERIE: a 1-y randomized controlled trial

    http://www.ajcn.org/content/85/4/1023.abstract?ijkey=57903af923cb2fcdc065ffd37b00a32e22f4c5cf&keytype2=tf_ipsecsha

    Conclusions:These findings provide more detailed evidence to suggest that diets differing substantially in glycemic load induce comparable long-term weight loss.



    No effect of a diet with a reduced glycaemic index on satiety, energy intake and body weight in overweight and obese women.

    http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/17923862

    CONCLUSION:

    This study provides no evidence to support an effect of a reduced GI diet on satiety, energy intake or body weight in overweight/obese women. Claims that the GI of the diet per se may have specific effects on body weight may therefore be misleading.



    Diaz EO et. al. Glycaemic index effects on fuel partitioning in humans. Obes Rev. (2006) 7:219-26.

    http://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/j.1467-789X.2006.00225.x/full

    Summary

    The purpose of this review was to examine the role of glycaemic index in fuel partitioning and body composition with emphasis on fat oxidation/storage in humans. This relationship is based on the hypothesis postulating that a higher serum glucose and insulin response induced by high-glycaemic carbohydrates promotes lower fat oxidation and higher fat storage in comparison with low-glycaemic carbohydrates. Thus, high-glycaemic index meals could contribute to the maintenance of excess weight in obese individuals and/or predispose obesity-prone subjects to weight gain. Several studies comparing the effects of meals with contrasting glycaemic carbohydrates for hours, days or weeks have failed to demonstrate any differential effect on fuel partitioning when either substrate oxidation or body composition measurements were performed. Apparently, the glycaemic index-induced serum insulin differences are not sufficient in magnitude and/or duration to modify fuel oxidation

    "Recent research indicates an association between brain dysfunction and the pathogenesis of metabolic syndrome. To investigate this, we created a Medline search (up to December 2011) of articles in PubMed. The results indicated that refined carbohydrates, saturated and total fat, high levels of ω-6 fatty acids, and low levels of ω-3 fatty acids and other long chain polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), all in conjunction with sedentary behaviour and mental stress can predispose to inflammation...."

    Never mind, carry on eating no sugar. You'll be fine and that leaves more candy for me.

    I'm not sure she's going to be fine if she's carrying it to the point where she can't even eat carrots. She's pretty much going to have to eliminate all plant-based foods and dairy from her diet if she wants to eliminate sugar. Soluble fiber (found in plant foods) helps lower blood glucose levels (not to mention cholesterol), and since her body will likely start breaking down proteins to manufacture glucose, she will still have sugar in her bloodstream. I'm sure she'll enjoy the results of a diet with no insoluble fiber either (constipation is so much fun).

    Jesus Christ, I never said I can't have carrots. I will continue having carrots but I'd like something with less sugar in it so I don't eat so much sugar from consuming so many carrots everyday and I eat a lot of vegetables, so no, I won't get constipated.

    th_10f33b44.gif at this thread. Sheesh. Ridiculous.

    I would suggest watching your carbohydrates, benefiting. This will help you also watch the amount of sugar in your diet. I am a diabetic (diagnosed 5 years ago) and my doctor and diabetic educator suggested no more than 45 carbs per meal for a woman to lose weight (60 per meal to maintain, and 75 to gain) for 3 meals a day and 1 snack. Try it if you like, but you'll need to figure out what works best for you. Just remember to eat for nutrition as well. It's not a diet though, it's a lifestyle change. You'll likely lose weight doing low carb, but you'll gain it back if you don't stick with it.

    Insulting and trolling someone is hardly the way to get a point across. This website is FILLED with people following diets of their own making. Let her figure out what works for her.

    It doesn't and that causes all kinds of confusion and, to be honest, unnecessary angst from people who feel that they cannot eat fruit (that they love) because it takes them over it. It should mention it do.

    ETA: the limit, even for added sugar is totally arbitrary in any event, but at least making it clear that it related to added sugar, people would not be scared to eat fruits and veggies and have some dairy.

I've got a cavity right now because even though I brushed my teeth three times a day I ate lots of sugary foods IN BETWEEN brushing my teeth (fruit, cereal bars, jello, frozen yogurt, dried fruit, etc - not even stuff like chocolate and cookies!). You might not need to eat a low sugar diet to help lose weight but people might choose to do it for other reasons and it's their prerogative to do so.

    Okay. I'll ask 1 more question.

    If a majority of your sugar is coming from natural fruit and vegetables do you think it's okay to go over by 150g?
