Is my fitness instructor right?

My fitness instructor tells me that my sugar content should not be above 25g a day.
She says that if I keep going over this allowance I won't lose my fat from my middle section.
Is this right? My sugar was set by MFP till I've just changed it to 35g from 63g.
I'm worried now I won't loose it from my stomach or has anyone lost the touch area regardless of sugar intake, just by staying in a calorie deflect
No, your fitness instructor is absolutely not right.
Fitness instructors are in general the last people you should be taking nutrition advice from.
How about chiropractors??
The only person you should be accepting nutritional advice from is your dentist.
It was a joke lol
A lot of people have posted that their chiropractors are giving them nutrition advice.
I'd take the advice of a registered dietician. But I'm a cheapass so I won't be paying for an RD0 -

And none of those people are saying you need to stick to <25g sugar a day.0 -
I am a Certified Fitness Instructor -
We are NOT legally allowed to give nutritional advice.
We are not trained as nutritionists.
(I'm sure someone probably already said that - if so, I apologize).
I also eat more than 25g of sugar a day...and I lost a bunch of belly fat by doing resistance (strength) training and eating foods as close to their natural state as possible...as in not buying pre-packaged or pre-prepared foods....and drinking LOTS and LOTS of water!
Best of luck!0 -

I dunno... I wouldn't be surprised if a chiropractor said it. Or maybe an over enthusiastic dentist?0 -

Ugh. They let any idiot be a fitness instructor these days. No...she's full of crap. Unless you're a diabetic just use commonsense when consuming sugar. Sugar from fruit is fine (does not give you a license to eat 6 apples in one day). Sugar from treats (cookies, candy, cake ect) is..............well delicious :laugh: ....so limit it, use portion control but you don't have to avoid it all together. Just commonsense ....2 cookies are good, the whole package is bad.0 -

The shampoo girl at my salon told me that I need to be doing weekly acai berry cleanses. And your hair is a part of your body, so she's practically a doctor.
Is there a co-pay for your haircuts?
I'll bet it's more than the customary $12-$25.
(The dentist quote just cracked me up! Only to be surpased in hilariousness by the shampoo girl practically being a doctor!! Thanks for the chuckles!!!! 0 -
To be fair most dentists I've had give advice on nutrition, but it's more, "here's crap that's bad for your teeth." The list typically includes sugar and anything acidic* like lemon water or diet soda. (*Disclaimer: I have not researched the actual ph of said substances.)0

I blow away my MFP suggested daily sugar intake every day. EVERY DAMN DAY. I have a banana and an apple and those alone kill it. Add in any of the other things I eat...yeah...**BEWM**
At one point I was down to around 9.5% body fat.

You can customize which nutrients are tracked by going to your diary and clicking Settings. Stop tracking sugar 0 -

Yep, I don't. My macros I track are total carbs, fiber, fat, protein and sodium.0 -
I suggest you find a new instructor your current one is stupid.0

So true. I had such a hard time dropping weight following a prescribed 'diet' by my fitness instructor years ago. The moment I adjusted it myself, and did research on my own, I lost weight.
I'm sure the instructor has good intentions, but that is just bad advice. Fruit alone has natural sugars, and trust me, you could easily go over that 'limit'.0 -
Really? o:
Huh. I guess I never really thought about it that way.
I just tend to think of sweets like cupcakes and stuff being high-ish in calorie so I attribute it to sugar.
My mistake.
LOL, you didn't make a mistake and have no need to apologize. People on internet forums just like to argue semantics and technicalities.
You're absolutely correct that most foods high in sugar tend to be high calorie, and are easy to over eat (the exception is fruit). If you're tracking your calories then it's not a big deal. But people who don't track calories and also eat a lot of sugary foods may find themselves gaining weight.0 -

You actually lose weight from the last place you gained it. Then it goes in that order. Wherever you gained last is where you will lose first.0

Exactly! The info given about calories in grams of carbs/fat/protein is so helpful to know -- it helps you spot inaccuracies in database entries and helps one effectively log what they are eating.
But I suppose not knowing that and feeling right is more useful.0 -

Well I don't think there's much point in debating whether or not sugar should be considered high calorie. What do you think about the fact that muscle weighs more than fat?0 -

I think there is, because so many people have little to no concept of where calories come from, the calorie content of a gram of sugar vs a gram of fat, the macro breakdown of various foods, etc.
This is critical information you and I may take for granted, but people who are new to this often have no idea.
As for "muscle weighs more than fat" all I have to say is that muscle is more dense than fat, and two otherwise-identical people at the same weight can look dramatically different as a result. A woman at 120 lbs 16% body fat will be smaller, firmer, and significantly more toned than the same woman at 120 lbs 25% body fat.0
