    No. There are tons of people on here with amazing physiques who eat all the foods they enjoy, including sugar etc. I don't think of any food as bad or junk, it's just food and it can all be incorporated in to a healthy fitness or weight loss plan.
    Read these. They're great!

    I think you need a little bit of sugar to keep yourself on track as long as you do not go overboard with it a little bit is not going to hurt

    I love sugar. :)


    ETA: Someone told me that I'd have to cut out all sugars, refined foods, processed food... basically EVERYTHING YUMMY... if I wanted a 6-pack. He was wrong too.

    A large amount isn't going to hurt if you aren't diabetic and it doesn't put you over your calories.

    I think him posting it on a fitness forum contributes to doing his own research :drinker: Yay for self-empowerment!

    If a guy on you tube told you that aliens were controlling our thoughts by using onions would you believe him?

    Mfp forum is not doing research.

    I meant research as in from reputable sources which mfp is very not. Maybe a little better than youtube... *maybe* doubt it

    No you don't...also...

    - you would be hard pressed to cut out all sugar...basically you could eat plain grilled chicken breast and that's pretty much it.

    - fat is an essential macro nutrient...cutting out fat and sugar (carbs)...again...what would you eat. Low fat/no fat diets cause more problems than they solve.

    to get "toned" you just need to cut fat while preserving muscle mass.
