Neither the OP nor the poster you quoted ever mentioned their worries about "weight loss" or "maintenance"
Isn't it cool how we always assume people must be concerned about certain things when they aren't?
isn't it cool how some people love to referee the forums...
last time I checked you were allowed to express an opinion in an open, public, forum, regardless of topic...
Sure but at least be on the topic and answer what the OP is asking. Isn't this thread about the OP. I thought so.
EDTA : Bolded part that's when they say people who talk on a thread regardless of topic are considered "internet troll". They said no one takes them seriously.
Nevermind. You carry on your Sugar battle.
so now you are the "opinion police"...?
Just for you.... On Mondays - Yes.
I find it funny that you are now violating your own rule...
irony is ironic..

Thought so what? So people cannot give a personal opinion on the forums now?
Did you even read the entire post. No one is saying not to give personal opinion but at least stick to what the OP has asked. Won't you.
That's exactly what you're saying though. Because she talked about how she took in sugar and thought it was okay to have while maintaining and losing weight, you're saying that it's wrong.
I want you to throw in a post from OP where they have used these words "maintaining" "losing weight". Can you post the exact quote from OP's comments with those words. Because I searched and I didn't find them.
I don't have to, that part was her personal opinion. Therefore she should be able to say it.
You don't have and you are challenging my comments. Are you serious or do you love quoting me?
BTW I didnot see you responding you to OP at all but rather only quoting people who have responded to OP. .... don't you have anything to say to them for their concern. Not even 2 words.

Addressing a "sugar addiction" by drinking only juice makes no sense. A juice fast is full of sugar.
It makes complete sense as long as you buy into hype over logic.
The OP asked a question, I responded with my experience which obviously you didn't read in its entirety. Anywho, I enjoyed the juices, I bought a juicer to make my own, and I would recommend it. If you don't subscribe to that notion, more power to you. There are more than one ways to meet your fitness goals and the method I like may not be the one you like. Either way I'm happy with my body, just as I'm sure you're happy with yours. So since we've established that I feel there is nothing more to discuss. Have a great day!
You have no chance of looking as good physically or intellectually as I do. Your attempted insult is laughable. Your posts are based on drivel, not fact. If post based on fallacies and failed insults are all you have to offer, then you offer nothing of value.
You haven't addressed the very simple fact that you demonize sugar from one source, yet canonize the exact same compound from elsewhere ... it is a contradictory position.
LOL ok.
I say I want to eat less cake, and 30 random strangers jump down my throat telling me I'll die without cake.
Oh? Care to link?
(I almost never eat cake. I also don't drink juice, and am usually below my sugar guideline, although I don't much care. I don't pretend like there's some huge difference between the sugar I add to a rhubarb sauce and the sugar that is naturally in the pear I ate this morning, and I also see no reason why I should cut out all chocolate and ice cream when I can eat them in moderation and feel just fine. On the other hand, as I said to OP, I think it can be helpful for some, including me at one point, to cut down on sugary foods, especially if they are difficult to moderate. I would NEVER recommend replacing them with juice, though--that seems counterproductive. I always do recommend getting more whole fruits and veggies, though, and smoothies can be good if people find them easier to drink than eat.)
TBF, there's the post on the first page stating unequivocally, if you don't eat sugar (not carbs, specifically sugar) you cannot survive.
Well, clearly you can get sugar from fruit and dairy (and veggies), and starches get treated basically the same also, so I don't think that counts. If you want, I'll agree that we obviously don't need to consume "added sugar" (I've cut it out before without it being particularly burdensome, although I don't want to do that forever), and that in theory we can be healthy without consuming fruits, dairy, or veggies, or any other food items with sugar, although I'd strongly recommend against trying it, as I'm not convinced vitamins are sufficient to replicate what we get from food.
The statement you referenced is no doubt just a clumsy way of saying your body is going to make glucose anyway, so trying to keep your body sugar-free is pointless. But Katie Couric says that all my fatness was because grandma put some sugar in the tomato sauce, oh, no!0 -

Well according to OP's profile she wants to lose 60 pounds....sooooo....yeah.
OP - I'm not sure why you need to buy a cookbook to reduce your sugar intake? If you want to stick to more nutrient dense sources of sugar, reduce cookie intake? Like someone pointed out, you aren't going to find many recipes in there that you wouldn't find searching the internet. I don't add a cup of sugar to my dinner recipes even if I'm not low carbing.

Of "[o]ur bodies need sugar to survive"? Sure. I think it's the only possible good faith one, and relates specifically to the idea that we need to "detox" from sugar, which is bizarre.
But, hey, if someone is really arguing that we need to eat cake to survive, let them speak up and correct my misinterpretation. (Also, insert Marie Antoinette joke here, I'm not in the mood to think of one.) ;-)0 -

I am really surprised at the negativity in some of these posts. I have gone sugar-free many times, both with and without natural alternatives such as raw honey, and my body really responds well to being sugar-free. It makes me feel better all over for as long as I keep it up.0
