Also you have to give up the sugar agreed. I still buy those lil gummy bears of diff kinds. Corn syrup I realize and bad but you tend to not consume as much if those are the only sweets, altho you can get carried away on them too.
Gummys are better for the teeth as they dont really get in the teeth as bad. To me giving up all sugar/corn syrup is the hardest.
And as I heard Tiny Tim once say, "beer is liquid carbs". lol So true.
Anyhow I am always interested what people tend to eat. Noone ever admits they eat junk tho. Everybody always eats no sugar. The sugar eaters are the folks who dont post their diets I guess (the majority).  Bad for ya tho. Puts the weight on. |
Yah, the hardest thing to avoid is sugar. And the worst for you is HFCS, because it's made from corn. It's 2-3 times more fattening than refined sugar.
Its in EVERYTHING, well most everything that is processed and sweet in any way. It was born as a very cheaply produced sweetener. All the processed food manufacturers fell in love and adopted it.
If you must have sugar, you should go evaporated cane sugar. If you must.
Beer is pretty bad too. Very fattening. Hence the phrase "beer belly", that's exactly where it goes. lol.
I have the luxury of having a dietician for a trainer, so I get facts, no GFY guesses.
The thing that dazzles me the most is how most of us are never really taught how to eat. Society as a whole gets its "health" information largely from television and word of mouth, which is a lot of regurgitated television marketing advice.
We were fed garbage as kids growing up. Lots of East Coast comfort foods that were cheap and easy to prepare for a family of 6. I had to teach myself how to eat all over in the last few years. Most of what you think is good for you is actually terrible for you. Milk being one.
I'm not the guy to try to convince or convert people anymore, but I do encourage people to get their own information from sources that they feel credible and decide on their own. I can only account for how I feel.
