I posted that article because I agree with it....all of it not just the part you're referring to. The op said she was large and has a lot of weight to lose and wanted to know how many grams of sugar we allow ourselves. People went on to say not to bother tracking sugar because it doesn't matter or that they don't track it.…

And you have decided these doctors and the American Heart Association are wrong to tell use to limit our added sugars based on what...someone else's webpages that you like better?

I guess I was mistaken...I didn't know webmd was someone's opinion I thought it was medical fact. The op was asking about cutting back on sugar and people were saying even someone with diabetes doesn't need to worry about sugar which I thought was crazy but ok

Hfcs can be 90% fructose and there is crystalline fructose. If you read the articles all the way through they all say fruits and vegetables aren't a concern but to watch your added sugars, especially fructose. If your liver is converting fructose into triglycerides and ldl cholesterol then why not be aware of that and…

I don't know if Dr Mercola is a quack but how about Harvard health https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/is-fructose-bad-for-you-201104262425 Webmd http://www.webmd.com/heart/metabolic-syndrome/news/20090421/fresh-take-on-fructose-vs-glucose Or livestrong http://www.livestrong.com/article/533337-fruit-sugar-vs-other-sugars/

IMO it's a very well written commercial

I can save you a lot of research and money...use egg whites instead

I think you need to go to google and find a calorie calculator because I don't think 1200 calories is enough to cover your basal metabolic rate. A lot will depend on how your will power works...can you allow yourself to have 1 piece of candy at the end of your meal or will you eat it all? Cheat days for me are a no…

Hi Can you share a little more info? I am guessing you are Amanda...a girl? Sometimes age has something to do with the inability to gain weight...and hopefully it doesn't have anything to do with your recent illness...with that said if you've been tracking your calories for more then a month,I would suggest you raise them…

I went to a calorie calculator and guessed your age to be 25. It says at your height and weight you need 2100 calories to maintain your weight. If you're just starting out I would either eat 1600 calories with no exercise or 2100 calories with exercise and see how your first couple of weeks go and then adjust from there

A 1000 calorie deficit seems high. A little more information would be helpful. How many calories are you consuming?
