fat vs sugar

People can still consume oils and sugar, and still be healthy in spite of this. I would just prefer to be honest with myself about those items; they are not health promoting foods, they are health compromising foods.

And people eat 500 calories of oil without realizing it all the time. A large order of fries is already about 300 calories just from the oil.

I am not convinced how health compromising oils and sugars are in the context of an otherwise healthy diet.

That was my question as well.

I am not sure how these would be harmful in an otherwise balanced diet (assuming no medical conditions of course). If the diet is not balanced - then it's the diet's 'fault' and not the food source.

Just drink a crisco and sugar smoothie.....here is the recipe:

1 cup of crisco or lard

1/2 cup of sugar

8 ounces of water

Throw it in a blender and boom!

Most of the people on this site would probably say "Ooooh that sounds great! As long as i log the calories, there will be no deleterious effects...."

I'd recommend a mixer over a blender, but yeah, people (even healthy, fit people) eat exactly that all the time.

Corn syrup will make it shinier.

Considering 1 cup of crisco is about 2,000 calories of pure fat and 1/2 cup sugar is about 400 calories of pure carbs, I highly doubt that people would say that eating that every day would not have a negative impact.

Again - context.

Spread it on a nice sized cake... share it with friends... I'd say that it would have a POSITIVE effect, actually. I like birthday parties.

You have to be realistic and look at your diet as a whole, as Sara mentioned. If you are hungry, foods higher in fats will improve satiety. Is this pre workout? Sugar will provide the energy to help, especially white or simple sugars. Personally, if I have hit most of my macro and micronutrient goals (especially protein), then I would eat something sweet. If I am starving, then I will go for the fat.
