Do you REALLY have to cut out all sugars get toned?

Everyone's body is different. I lost some weight when I cut down on sugar.

To be fair, I do believe most people cut way, way back on sugars before a fitness competition. It's only temporary though. It's not sustainable, and it's a few steps past "toned".

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

Define overboard.

You burned 10k calories :O

I need to lay down... or get up

It's OK, it was 10,000 calories of pure rage.

If I put my rage towards teh foodz I am eating, does that mean I can eat more of it? Say I burn 2,000 calories with rage on a box of Oreos, should I eat back those burnt calories in pizza and beer?

Yes.

Science!

Well heck if some guy on Youtube said it, it must be true.

This.

Do your own research and dont believe some a$$clown on youtube

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

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

Seeing tons of people who actually got toned does help me

And when you DO do some reputablely sourced research, you'll find out that a lot of people on MFP really know their stuff, having done the same research. Furthermore, they are validating it through their personal experiences and willing to share their thoughts and knowledge.

Sugars, most fats, processed foods. This is what a guy on youtube said, if that is so i'll never be toned.

Totes magotes. People on the internet can't lie.


It's true.



I read it on the internet.

You should cut out MOST refined sugars from your diet, not just to get toned but because they are unhealthy anyway and raise your blood sugar levels which messes up the homeostasis of your body. Get your sugars from fruit so you are also getting vitamins and minerals and fiber along with fructose. I believe in the 80/20 rule -- if you eat healthy 80% of the time, a piece of cake won't make you fat. Unless you are dieting for a competition, cutting sugar out completely is really, really hard and requires a very strict diet - it would basically mean NO processed foods at all, and NO fruits at all. You can get toned without deprivation.

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

Yikes! I'd better watch this video. Link please? Is it eating the onions that makes us vulnerable, or are just the fumes enough?
