Thanks, man I'm really just trying to share info, not force anyone into anything.

Did i say "all" sugar? No. I was simply talking about a case where a high amount of sugar is received by the body. That was the subject - sugar over the limit - Those 6 teaspoons/day I mentioned in earlier posts are more than enough for energy source. I'm not gonna repeat myself im every single post.

The word processed can mean a lot of things when it comes to food. I find it hard to belive that you didn't get the point from all these posts.
-
Where I'm from It's really late right now, I read the exact opposite. Really sorry.
-
Exactly. Fiber takes a lot more time to be absorbed into the body, sugar is absorbed imediately and transformed into fat by the liver, also imediately. So what you are saying doesn't make sense.
-
Yes ,the main factor remained the calorie deficit, maintaning that calorie deficit you will lose weight, faster or slower depending on what you eat that is still debatable. Also on a side note, that's really cool, nice to meet ya' :smiley:

*loss (my bad) I didn't force anyone and i don't assume anything. Those thin people do exist and that is mainly because of their metabolism which is gonna change at some point and then it's not gonna be pretty. I also know about a term called TOFI (Thin on outside, Fat on inside). I'm not saying that all thin people are…

Actualy I did say it. I said what I meant by that. You all grabed every little thing and missed the point. It's like you're saying to me that it's nothing wrong with eating chaotic and not look on the nutritional label on SOME products. Despite all I'm hearing calories are not the only ones that matter. Read Advanced…

Yes. My advice was more for a lifestyle change rather than a simple weight loose. All I was saying in the first post is that she can try those things (harsh as they are) because they have benefits and she will loose weight faster and 'cleaner'.
-
That's what I said, look it up, google some articles about bad ingredients and convince yourself. Considered the food industry nowadays you should really know the bad ingredients.
-
No, you should avoid them. But I'm not from UK or USA, I don't know how you use it. Here I say it like "if you don't know what it is, look it up but it's probably bad'' Most ingredients that are good you know them, I mean they( as in the people behind the product) have no reason to hide them in weird chemical names. But…
-
This really wasn't my point. That's a great example you just made there but it's really not on the point. "chemicals you can’t pronounce" I used it as an expression, don't take it literally.
-
Well yeah, fats are absorbed slower (and here we talk about the fats in nuts, olives) but they take not that much energy to be metabolized. They are 2 different things. Everyone has their ways, I promote a lifestyle that most people don't like because it takes away everything they love and I think it's why everyone is…

@DemoraFairy Ok, let's take it step by step. I said that yes, loosing weight is simple: you figure out your RMB, then your TEE and you substract some calories and voila you have your calorie deficit. The impact on how many calories the body burns it's actualy very different, and I'm gonna explain why. OK so here it's all…

Oh my god. Fruits are ok, people. I was not referring to fruits, i mean C'mon. The sugar in a fruit has a lot of fiber that makes the absorption time longer. Sugar from fruits is different. You all took what i said like word for word. First of all, I said chemicals and I was talking about bad ingredients, mostly in…

I'm not a fan of the ''everything in moderation'' concept that most people use. When you eat mostly home cooked meals like you do for example, some cheats now and then are fine. I have my own ''everything in moderation'' concept where I advise people to enjoy those cheats in moderation, and use their common sense. Check…
-
@DemoraFairy Ok, so first of all, I did not say that you will not loose weight while in a calorie deficit and eating processed food. You will loose weight, slower and messier - so to say - if you ask me. Since the fitness revolution in the mid 90's the main rule was that if you eat less and you exercise more YOU WILL loose…
-
Really love the way you eat! Good job! :smiley:
-
I know you all want to belive that but I know what I'm saying. Processed food is bad. I tried both ways, a deficit in calories where I ate pretty much what i wanted to cover those calories and another one where I carefully cooked all my meals and reduced my sugar intake. The results were beyond comparison. You maybe say…
-
Dont eat everything you want, a calorie deficit is not enough as long as you're still eating proccesed food. Here's my advice: Start eating good home cooked meals rich in protein as well as fats and carbs. Reduce sugar intake to almost none or at least 5-6 tspoons/day. Eat fruits. And one personal advice that I recommend…
