    Sugar is the biggest enemy to weight loss! Even more than trans-fats, saturated fats, or even a calorie surplus! So: conquer sugar, and you'll very soon conquer every other diet or nutrition problem!

    I eat sugar everyday

    Me too!

    I eat sugar until I'm so carb addled that I can't remember how much I had. That's probably why it is the enemy - it will make me forget to log.

    Though serious hat - trans fats affect health via cholesterol, but I'm unaware of them affecting weight loss negatively.
    Indeed, I believe conjugated linoleic acid is trans, and once looked promising for body composition but hasn't panned out in humans.

    Oh yeah? Try eating 70 grams of sugar a day, and keep under calorie for a month, and we'll see how your weight and health are after!

    I'm assuming you mean added sugar and not including natural sugars?

    Of course! Natural sugars from fruit, etc, though it still counts towards your daily total, are much better than added sugars!

    You're obviously in horrible health and have put on far too much weight. If you want to stop trying to kill yourself each and every day, you should cut back on the sugar...

    Please provide some peer-reviewed research indicating how eating sugar will keep you from losing weight while in a caloric deficit. Because that would defy the laws of energy balance.

    I'm guessing that if a link is provided, it will be some junk science blog from a crackpot like Mercola or Taubes, both of who have been thoroughly and repeatedly exposed as quacks, and their pseudoscience debunked.
