Some think that the food is the main reason for weight gain but this wrong my friend, I know people from my family and friends and eat only one meal a day, so they think will diminish their weight quickly but the opposite happened, some increased weight,
They were in a state of shock and surprise of what happened.
After several days of searching for the main reason that causes weight gain.
What you think?
The reason sugars, they increased their sugary drinks, sweets, and chocolate.
They decided to leave everything that contains sugar and here their weight began to decrease and now they are very happy.
DON NOT eat or drink anything contains a high proportion of SUGAR

What if I told you....
I lost 90lbs including sugary foods and drink in my WOE and have proof?
So, are you saying that you know better than scientists and dieticians?
Calories ARE king. Just because you know of those who supposedly eat one meal, doesn't mean they eat less calories than they burn.10 -

If you cut anything out of your diet without replacing it with something else, then you're automatically consuming less calories. Your statement would also apply if you replaced the words sugar/sugary/sweet with bacon.

It's not even Friday in Australia yet.... isn't it still hump day in some parts of the world though? That might be why.

sweets, and chocolate are high in fat and low in moisture which means they have a lot of calories in a small volume. Sugary drinks go right through you and don't keep you full long.
It doesn't matter how many meals your relatives have, if they are eating too many calories in foods that don't fill them up (potential for even more calories) they will gain weight.
the calories in food needs to be accounted for, sugary or otherwise. Many people here consume sugary foods and lose weight without problems because they know how to stay in a deficit.1 -

Guys,
You probably already know that eating too much added sugar can make you fat—but how overweight or obese will you get? Until now, the research done on how sugar affects your health has been somewhat sketchy, but a new review of the latest and greatest science by New Zealand researchers has it all up a bit.
The results, published today on BMJ.com, found that (drumroll please)...
People who ate less sugar (without being told to lose weight) lost an average of 1.8 pounds over a period of 10 weeks to 6 months.
Similarly, people who increased their sugar intake gained 1.7 pounds, with most studies lasting less than 8 weeks. Small changes, yes, but over time this weight gain can really add up.
So why does sugar make you fat? The researchers suspect that, unsurprisingly, people who eat sugar get more calories than they burn off with physical activity. In addition, sugar-sweetened beverages are less filling than naturally sweet foods like fruit, so you’re more likely to overindulge with a soda than an apple. And don’t forget the sweetened snacks—they are energy dense, meaning one box of mini-donuts really packs on the pounds.
The solution? Cut back on sugar in your diet (duh), but don’t stop at the obvious culprits like sodas and chocolate bars. Keep an eye out for these surprising sugar bombs—and you’ll be healthier in no time.1 -
Brazil consumes more sugar than any country in the world. Yet rank 102 on the obesity scale in the world. It's NOT sugar that's the issue.
It's over consumption of TOTAL calories from any source of food or drink that very overweight and obese people have a problem with.

Or how about counting total calories? That works too..................while still being able to eat foods laden with sugar.

Nope, eating a homemade chocolate chip cookie as I type this. I may have another because they fit into my daily calories for the day. duh7

They lost weight, because they consumed fewer calories, not because of the sugar.

If you want to gain weight ... CI>CO. Eat more calories than you burn.
If you want to lose weight ... CI <CO. Eat fewer calories than you burn.
If you want to maintain your weight ... CI=CO. Eat the same number of calories you burn.
What you eat is up to you ... whatever you like, whatever works for you ... as long as the calories are an amount that meets your goal.

So now you've shared all the wrong beliefs, what's the truth?2
-
What is there to say that hasn't been said. Too much food (or, rather, too many calories' worth of food) is the culprit, not sugar itself.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZDOI0cq6GZM 1 -
I could easily eat my daily calorie goal in one meal.3
-
They gained weight because they ate more calories than their TDEE. That simple.
I'm sorry but it's your beliefs that are wrong. What you posted is nonsense.3 -
And yet, you couldn't explain how I managed to lose 90lbs with sugar in my diet, troll. And yes, there are certain times where I'd eat a lot of chocolate, but I counted calories and still lost weight. Why are you telling me and many others here how to lose weight when I'm already losing weight? Hilarious! I believe science, not some random guy that spends 'a few days researching'. Science has been working for me.cerise_noir wrote: »Some think that the food is the main reason for weight gain but this wrong my friend, I know people from my family and friends and eat only one meal a day, so they think will diminish their weight quickly but the opposite happened, some increased weight,

I'm healthier than I was 90lbs ago. My perfect blood tests prove that.
Newsflash, sugar doesn't cause obesity, eating too many calories does. How about you read scientific studies nested of relying on ridiculous Internet blogs. Oh, and many here have been successful at weight loss without cutting sugar.
You are wrong. Dead wrong. A couple of years ago, I was eating a sugar-free vegetarian 'clean' diet.....I was obese and sick, now I am not.

I didn't lose any weight when I stopped drinking calories. Meh0
-
If they gained weight eating that one meal a day then they ate ALL their days calorie allowance and more in that one sitting. Sugar is not the culprit, eating MORE than we burn IS.2
-
I was just wondering now schools are out when we'd get the holier than though posts......ding ding ding we have today's winner3

Nope, they gained because they ate more calories than they burned.
Drinks have calories too, and they count.0 -

so...........no fresh fruit? FORGET IT! i'll keep my weight then. not gonna do without natural foods/drinks that contain natural sugar. added sugar is a different story.1 -
Really? I'm sorry, but I've had a 300 cal French vanilla loaded with sugar, and a large chocolate milk, and sweet, yummy ice cream, almost every day..vodka on the weekends....and I have lost 80 lbs. What's the secret? I make them fit into my calorie goals. I moved my body more, more than the amount I ate and drank (because I do log my drinks and nibbles), almost every single day. I logged everything I put in, watch the numbers, and adjust my activity accordingly to create enough of a deficit required to lose weight.
Bottom line, sSugar is not the enemy, consuming more calories than you burn is the enemy. And that's avoidable.2 -
Unless you have health related issues, it's calories in calories out. My question to the op is: when they cut out the sugar did they become more active? Sometime we relate exercise to sugar. Say this scenerio. I'm gonna cut out sugar usually sends the message to your brain that exercise would be good too. So, if their activity level increases how can you say it was solely due to a decrease in sugar? You can eat 2000 calories in a meal . Ever eat from Burger King? 1 whopper meal is just about that. So your statement isn't accurate.0
