Lots of sugar ok as long as you stay in your daily calorie goal, right?

    High sugar diets lead to fat in the blood which leads to heart disease. It causes fatty liver, metabolic syndrome and depression. Low cal or not, it's not good for you.

    Agree with stacerpacer. From my own personal experience, if I eat too much sugar every day, it is very hard or almost impossible to lose weight because taking a bite of something like chocolate or cake makes me hungry for more, I cant stop at one. It's like an insatiable appetite and I just feel tired all day. Nothing wrong w the occasional treat though :)

    There are reasons not to eat too much sugar, but if someone says she is within her calories, than presumably the level of sugar she is eating is NOT causing her to overeat. It's like people don't read the questions.

    Mmmmm, fatty liver.

    My city banned that for a while, but then they thought better of it.

    ex: I'm drinking a lot of skim milk. 12 grams a sugar a cup. plus some cereal. plus a nutrigrain bar, apple, pear, blueberries. almost 100 grams of sugar
    all that ok? to lose weight? as long as under my set goal?

    As others have said, to lose weight, sure.

    For nutrition, how are you doing on protein, fat, fiber, micros?

    and some people get a kick out of correcting others as it makes them feel superior

    The definition of insanity is asking the same question and expecting a different answer. :#

    That's not so insane, recently on a road trip my son asked me 20 times are we there yet? on the 20th ask he got a different answer!
