i have cut sugar and been going to sweetner ... if needed ... ie coffee1

Have had only 20 - 30 mgs/day of sugar in the last 3 weeks. Noticed a massive change in energy and think a lot more clearly. Could be coincidental but at the moment I'm not missing it. Keto has been great so far mate, keep going.1

My diet is going great, but I don't cut out sugar. I still eat loads of fruit and vegies with sugar, plus dairy, and the odd "proper" dessert (icecream, chocolate, cake, sweets etc).... I just track macros and make everything fit.3

Sugar isn't the issue. OVER CONSUMPTION of it is. Go to other countries that don't have obesity issues. They have lots of sugared products on the shelves and are eaten everyday. Their people just don't eat a lot of it.

I was low sugar for 4 months...went off the wagon last week and am amazed at how inflamed I became in a short time... from pimples to nerve pain. It was a good lesson to remind me how sensitive my body is to sugar.1

I'm low carbing and like it, but it's not mainly about sugar -- I wasn't really eating high sugar before.
I also think it's important to eat a nutrient-dense diet whatever your preferred macros, and plenty of nutrient-dense foods have sugar in them (including fruit and vegetables and dairy). Sugar is the new fat (e.g., Susan Powter), which is bad, and I think focusing single-mindedly on sugar is usually not a good way to center discussions of nutrition.0 -
Yeah i see both sides and understand but for me i have identified it to be an issue going from 200 grams of sugar a day to zero has made a plausible difference to my health and wellbeing
And i see sugar to be an issue due to the fact that its really hard to find something without sugar of the shelf plus companys will use other not so safe additives to supplement sugar
Like aspartame which is not good at all.
In australia i know many people o
Who are skinny and very unwell not healthy at all and they consume 200 grams of sugar a day and cant go without it0 -
That Sugar Film was the biggest load of BS i've seen in a long time.3

I am currently on an elimination diet, and part of that is going off added sugar. Only agave syrup, brown rice syrup, and stevia are allowed. I don't eat any of those most days, and so try to curb cravings with fruit. My skin is better, and my energy is definitely higher off sugar. I had a small piece of chocolate birthday cake two weeks ago, and I immediately got a headache. I can't speak for anyone else, but I feel much better off of it.
I also think that diary and wheat/gluten (which are often accompanied by sugar) are triggers for me, but as sugar is in everything (even sushi or hot sauce sometimes!), I think that's a more probable cause for my fatigue. After seeing that extreme reaction in me, I think I will do my best to not eat the stuff.0 -
I can tell you from experience as a diabetic, I notice huge differences when I'm eating sub 35g carb a day. Over the decades, my body has gotten progressively more sensitive to sugar. I'm not as young as I used to be.0

It's not hard at all to find something on the shelf without sugar, IME (I am not currently eating dried pasta or oats or rice, but those are easy examples). Many whole foods do have sugar, like vegetables, fruit, dairy, nuts.
Some people seem to like the "carnivore" diet (and if you do, OP, that's cool), but lots of low carbers (even those in ketosis) eat lots of vegetables, plus some dairy, nuts, even lower sugar fruits. Low carbing aside, the alternative to eating 200 grams of sugar (which I am sure I didn't do when gaining weight) is NOT simply eating none. I think it's focusing on making nutrient dense choices and having a balanced diet within one's chosen macros. Thus, I do think it's important to stress that nutrition is not all about sugar and how much you eat (although if you eat a huge amount of added sugar, or unbalanced amounts of any low nutrient foods, cutting down is a good thing to do, obviously).
I don't think those are fighting words, but in the eyes of some, perhaps? Don't want to disappoint you, newmeadow! ;-)0 -

I do not fight sugar and I did not give up sugar. But I have limited the amount of added sugar I consume for several decades, including the years when I was gaining weight. If all I needed to do was lower sugar weight control would be a piece of cake (pun intended) for me.
Fat is my problem. Oh how I love fat.0 -
how in the world are you able to cut sugar out of your diet? sugar is in everything example: veggies, bread, milk, breakfast bar, energy shakes and bars. so how do you do it? i rarely ever see anything with out sugar.0

I'm not against sugar, but not eating the things in bold is easy. I eat very little added sugar during the week...0 -

Did you consider a middle ground, something between the 200g you were previously consuming, and 0 g? And seriously - zero grams of sugar? So you eat nothing but meat and oil? That doesn't sound healthy, or sustainable.
It is difficult to find foods without natural sugars in them, since they are found in fruits, vegetables, dairy, etc. If you are talking about foods without added sugars, well again, depends what you are consuming and why you consider it something you need to avoid. Nutrition labels will provide the ingredient list, and the total number of sugars, so if it is is something you are concerned about, simply reading those should help you make informed choices. But again, if you're aiming for zero sugars, then yeah - meat and oil are pretty much your only choices.
Aspartame has been studied extensively and proven time and again to be safe. Here is a great forum post written by a biochemist member of MFP who patiently explains in relative layman's terms the science behind what Aspartame is composed of and how your body processes it, and why it is safe to consume.

These people that you know who are skinny but not healthy, what are the health issues they are suffering from? How does their consumption of sugar cause those health issues? HOw do you know they are consuming 200g of sugar/day?
