It depends. Do you have idyllic genes?

Ps- I noticed a difference in my skin almost immediately, my brain fog is going away, and I feel so much better. Do it for your health!

I have had periods where I experimented with temporarily cutting out "added sugar" from time to time (mostly just to force myself to get a little more creative with how I used my extra calories), most recently in January, and I always feel the same. If I have brain fog (I don't think so) I continued to have it, my skin is fine and remained fine, and I generally felt about as a good as I normally do (which is pretty good!). Why don't I get the special magic?

It's brain fog for me. I almost go into a food coma if I consume too much. I can do fruit and a tiny bit of something dessertish from time to time but otherwise I get this blah fuzzy-headed nasty feeling. For lack of a better description, almost sticky feeling. That feeling is enough to deter me from going back to my Oreo sleeve (or two) a day habit. I avoid soda for that reason. I'm sure some people are fine with it but one can and I feel terrible.

Well, I think that over-consumption of anything is going to make you feel terrible. Try eating a shedload of fat and see how you feel. I actually did that once back when I was doing Atkins. (I can't believe I'm admitting this publicly). I strained the fat from roasted chicken and kept tasting it because it was so good. I kept going back to it. I ate too much. I felt sicker than I EVER did from any sugar binge, let me tell you.

The whole point? Fat in and of itself isn't bad. Neither is sugar. OVER-CONSUMPTION was your problem. Moderate consumption of both of those things is fine and won't leave you feeling awful, barring certain medical problems.

My brother once ate an entire saucepan of Hollandaise sauce because he thought it was some kind of cream soup. (Teenage boy mind: he came home, saw pan, ate everything, complimented my stepfather on his soupmaking skills when he got home and the last bite was going down the hatch...) He spent some quality time in the bathroom for the next few days, LOL.

OMG there are cookies even in the zombie apocalypse!!! Thank god, cos I was totally up for being eaten if there wasn't (hopefully this doesn't count as a TWD spoiler, other than that there are cookies, which is just something to look forward to really). AMC even have the recipe for Carol's Cookies. I am totally making them.

AHHH that was like the best part of the episode. And a perfect gif for the forums.

IKR!! God I Carol. And needless to say was thrilled when I stumbled across both the gif and the recipe on FB just now.

FYI, 150 cals per cookie, recipe below (I won't link to the actual AMC page cos Spoilers sweetie . I went with 1/4 of a large choc bar being 50g, used dark chocolate, and vegetable shortening. I just let the recipe builder choose brands. It seems 1/4 measures are very popular in the ZA.

I just saw that on facebook lol. I'm going to make them this weekend. I hope they come out good

If sugar is the devil then I guess I'm working for the devil. I work in a bakery.

In seriousness, if you crave sugar maybe you should...have sugar? I don't think deprivation is a good thing and it may set you up for future failure. I think the intense cravings you're describing will stop when you allow yourself sugar each day in normal quantities because then you won't be deprived.

no you work for a heroin pusher, get with the program

This is true, as I am also illegally growing and harvesting donut trees in my backyard. It's all supply and demand, yaknow?

where can I find these donut tree seeds?????
