Totally Normal if you've been eating bad prior to starting to work out again. A couple times I went a month or so between working out heavy for the first time. Both times I had to quit halfway through the workout because I got nauseous. However, after eating really clean I was able to pick right up where I left off. Good…

I can't wait till Satan, I mean Saban retires...He's too good, dang it!!!

OMG, yes they did. I am still trying to recover from that loss...lol. How do the Aggies look this year?

I can't argue with that pick. I can see them winning it again for sure...BUT, remember the last time the buckeyes played the gamecocks in back to back Outback bowls? lol, long time ago though

I am pretty much doing the same thing except I'm mixing in Focus T25 instead of Insanity. I don't have a ton of time in the mornings. Also, MWF, in addition to Bodybeast (in the A.M.), I do Ab Ripper X from P90X (in the P.M.)

Yes, I am SO seeing that is true.

[/quote] Bolded gives the impression that the only way for everyone to get off a plateau is to limit sugar. Many people, myself included, can eat sugar and lose weight. How come you can state that (everyone) needs to limit sugar in order to lose weight when I (and others) say (everyone) doesn't have to limit sugar (except…

Great post, Thank you. my subject line was a little misleading. If you've read through my comments you'd see that I realize sugar is not the "blanket" problem. But, it was a problem for me and for many others. Any ways, great post - I agree with the whole of it!!

No worries, I wasn't directing my response at you, just the majority of those posting negative remarks.

Yeah, and how many responses might I get? I doubt anyone would've even looked at my post. I meant for it to grab attention...just didn't realize a bunch of aholes would be on here stating a bunch of unsound advice...mixed with a little science/truth

Yeah, well this cool kid has never once looked at a thread on sugar. I just wanted everyone to know what worked for me. Obviously, you all are already pro's and have nothing better to do but make snide remarks. Congrats You're awesome!

Mostly just a bunch of OP bashing. I forgot why its been 6 months since I was on this site. Don't worry I wont make the mistake again. So many negative responses. Its sad when you can't post things that have worked for you without getting a bunch of nasty arguments telling you why your comments are unsound. I thought…

i know, its too much to comprehend isn't it? i never said you can't lose weight, but in my experience its way easier with less sugar consumption. Y'all this isn't rocket science. Do I really need to post "evidence" of the negative effects of sugar calories vs. "other" calories? You're all on the internet...look it up. I am…

lol, awesome!! So true

Okay, whatever!!! you're right

Yeah, I guess that is why people (including myself) feel like crap after eating a bunch of junk food, but don't when eating a bunch of healthy food = same amount of calories? Sorry, but life experience trumps your statement.

Question? Have most of you replying on here been in decent shape your whole lives? If so, then you probably have no basis for your negative replies. People in better shape or those that are working out like beasts definitely can take in a lot more sugar and still lose weight. It baffles me that most of your arguments are…

True. I definitely see that now. :) However, how can anyone truly argue that excess sugar is good for you?

I don't know if there is science to show how limiting sugar breaks through plateaus. I am sure you can google it. However, there is a ton of scientific evidence that excess sugar is bad for you...not just those with medical conditions like diabetes. I am just saying that "For Me" it helped me get over my plateau.

For me, I will not reject vegetables, most fruits, nuts, etc. If and when this is an issue, then I just go over my goal.

Yeah, there is a lot of truth in that for sure... I found that odd too.

Well, it looks like most are in disagreeance with my take. Perhaps all :) Well, it worked for me...Many of you had great advice and good feedback. Its sad that a lot of you are just here to bash others and hate on their posts. Thanks for those of you with honest non-degrading comments!

I pretty much subscribe to the following (see real life woman - who hit a wall and the response on how to fix it): http://www.rachaelrayshow.com/tips/10040_Jorge_Cruise_Weight_Loss_Secrets/

I cut and pasted my quote straight from the American Heart Association website.

No? is that your only response? What is your advice.

Sorry, I should've mentioned. Calorie intake and overall eating less is key! Of course eating less sugar would pretty much force you to eat less food...there really is no way around that.

I have hit the "plateau" many times. What I have found out is it usually has something to do with your diet. Even when you think you're eating healthier, you actually may not really be. My daily Sugar intake was the problem. After losing weight with Insanity, I couldn't keep losing and even worse was having trouble…

According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the maximum amount of added sugars you should eat in a day are (7): Men: 150 calories per day (37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons). Women: 100 calories per day (25 grams or 6 teaspoons). I added up the Nutritional Diet facts from a Cleanse day. Guess what: 89.5 Grams of Sugar.…
