High school chemistry sir. Sugar is converted to fat. You already made the point of carbs being forms of sugar.

You realize that now we are talking about molecules and that a calorie is a unit of measure right?

I see what you did there but it doesn’t make sense. Usually two joining subjects like carbs and fat are relevant for an obvious reason.

You’re right they aren't simple carbs. They are pizza, bread and cereal. They just have simple or complex carbs within them.

I feel like you’d make a good lawyer. Okay, there is a correlation between simple carbs and visceral fat. I think we can agree being inactive and eating lots of simple carbs would be a bad thing though.

LOL um no. I didn't coin the phrase “mixed macro meals”. I was just replying using the same phase. When you eat, your blood typically rises. More so with larger meals. I don’t have studies about what food you eat... that would be weird imo.

I don’t care about how much respect you have earned posting in the forum. Bringing up my other post is flat out rude and disrespectful. This post is a debate. If you are right about something I will agree. If I feel differently I will say so and give reason. That is all I have done. I’m not going to go through looking for…

So did you only read the first line because that was to make a statement about what is currently known. Reading further shows the results of an experiment that links the two and is what is leading into new discovery on simple carbs.

Who do you think you are to make that judgement? I don’t believe you have any authority to say what I should and shouldn’t have an opinion on.. VintageFeline, if you don’t understand something just be honest. You don't have to poke fun at me for being honest about not understanding weight loss. I understand insulin because…

Sure, check out this study done on whole grains vs refined grains. Complex carb vs simple carb. https://academic.oup.com/ajcn/article/92/5/1165/4597531

Correction** simple carbs are bad if you are not being active. They are directly linked to visceral fat.

I’m happy for you. Enjoying pizza with vegetables definitely makes a big healthy difference to the usual. When I said “you”, I was referring to the debate originator or person quoted Chelsey Amer. Tomato’s are a source of healthy sugar but I was referring to store bought pizza. Not your homemade pizza. If everyone reading…

Why do you assume carbs are bad? I live an active lifestyle and enjoy carbs because they burn off as energy. The only bad carbs are simple carbs. Eating healthy grain cereals are complex carbs. There isn’t a negative draw to slow released energy or carbs unless you don't use them. Explain to me why cinnamon being used to…

Carbs can be slow release complex carbs like oatmeal. Bran and whole grain cereals are more complex carbs so I don’t see why anyone would disregard them for that reason. If you read the first statement made by Chelsey Amer she made the claim about cereal being all sugar. My point was that pizza has sugar too so thats not a…

I think a lot of you misunderstood the direction of my post saying cereal was an all around healthier option. I was making a direct reply to the statement made by Chelsey Amer. Her argument was that pizza is a more balanced meal. My maybe not so clear point was that not all cereal or pizza is created equal so assume we are…

I forgot about trout hmm good call. Yes I recently bought containers to do somewhat a meal prep. So far I’ve only prepped two meals ahead because I tend to want something different after that. Thank you all!

True, I’ll start simple and work into other food groups. I didn't expect it to taste like it did. I tried tilapia and catfish too. Those were fine for me.

Great advice everyone thank you! I have had heart issues in the past and recently had chest pains that were tolerable. I plan to have my blood tested for possible issues but I want to start the fight sooner than later. I really appreciate the food suggestions. I have been eating skinless chicken and fish recently which is…

I don’t do anything fancy. I toast wheat bread and put some avocado as if it were butter. Makes for a good snack and it's healthy fat unlike butter.

I’d argue against that and in favor of cereal being in all around healthier choice for mornings or afternoons. What do you think pizza is? I’m not being funny here. Really think about it. You have meat, tomato sauce and bread that is most often not whole wheat. The carbs from the bread alone cause a big insulin spike…

My advice is trial and error. Don’t be afraid to try something new. I had never eaten kale before and when I tried it I was kind of shocked. I had no idea how good it was until I added it with my “green meals”. Now I always keep it in mind when preparing a meal. Think to yourself, “okay, now what can I add that will taste…

It’s all about the bang for your buck. Don’t fret the calories. Just make it something that will add value to your diet. A lot of people are saying cinnamon and I totally agree. It adds flavor and is ranked in the top 20 of food items that are highest in antioxidants. Not only that but cinnamon can give you a small edge in…

Thank you!
