    15g of Sugar or less

    I was reading through one of those Carb books over the weekend and it was saying something to the effect of anything over 15g of sugar per day will lead to belly fat. It was an interesting book, and had some delicious recipes in there.

    For fun on Sunday I went though the grocery store looking at the bottles of the main 'name brands' versus the stuff recommended in the book. It would take some real commitment and 'counting' to keep below 15g of sugar per day as the book laid out. Sugar, or some variant, is in EVERYTHING!

    I will say this though. By comparison to many of the other books I have read on the subject. The food appears to be better in these recipes than some of the others. Plus more variety.

        Carbs are a form of sugar. So 15 grams of sugar is about the same as 15 grams of carbs.

          Word. It's very hard to stay under ~20g of carbs since they put suger in everything. They even put glucose on fucking bacon! It's crazy.

            Agreed.

            After reading though this book, and analyzing all kinds food and condiments, it's almost impossible (a lot of counting) to get to 15g or less of daily sugar because it's in everything!!

                Sounds like bull. Carbs have been given a bad rap by "fitness gurus." New studies have been coming out that say even diabetics should not stay away from carbs and sugar the way people have been preaching for years. Everybody is different, every body is different, every lifestyle is different... we each need to find systems that work for *us* and stop listening to the latest "lose weight quick" quack.

                  Surely if you are making the food, you can avoid the sugars/corn syrup shit that is in everything?

                    It is still difficult, but can be done to some degree.

                    You are going to have to swap out most of your current drinks, and condiments. Depending on what it is, and how much you eat or drink of it, there is the 'cost' of being more health conscious as well. My guess is it's between 25-40% more for the different products.

                    However, I would assume that investing in your health will save you down the road (additional health issues, premiums, etc.) in theory.

                      Yes, processed sugars and foods in general, metabolize in your body in a way - that gives most people belly fat.

                      You should have as little sugar as possible every day... the calorie increase they give you isn't worth putting them in your body.

                      You will also sleep better, wake up easier, stay calmer, won't get agitated as easily... and lots of other mind/body things improve with a drop in sugar. For sure when we look at what most people already take in.. a single soda in a day is more sugar than you need for a week.

                        No shit foo!

                        A glass of OJ, or single can of Cola is something like 22 grams of sugar for an 8 oz size! Which if you are trying to stay under 15g of sugar, and 6g of carbs is madness for what most take in versus should be.

                        If you add up a fast food meal, or even some of the carbs from salad dressings, condiments, and every day food like bread, and so forth, you are hitting like 100g easily in a SINGLE DAY!

                        Which honestly makes sense as to why people can work out an hour a day and never lose shit for weight.

                            that's bullshit, just one apple has 15g of sugar... you would have to drink water the whole day and eat cardboard to stay under 15g of sugar per day... and even then, you would come pretty damn close to 15g..

                              Anything processed, even oj & apple juice - which is processed, is complete trash if you're trying to drop weight. Liquid wise, milk(s) and water mostly - anything else is hurting you.

                              Processed foods with 0grams of sugar, still have sugar in them... it's 'based on weight' and anything below .5% can be listed as 0grams.... everything processed has sugar in it.

                              If you eat an apple, that single raw, unprocessed apple, has simple sugars & carbs. It still has more sugar in it that you need daily but it breaks down differently in your body, it's used smarter, and it doesn't metabolize in your body making fat blobs of shit grow in people.

                                  Keep in mind fine sire, this is just the 'eating portion'.

                                  So if you sit on your fat ass, and just do his 15g sugar/6 carbs you would lose weight in theory. If you are walking 30 minutes a day, or spend 1-2 hours at the gym (i.e. adding in cardio and fitness), your body will obviously will need more calories and food.

                                  Otherwise you will be ready to go on a killing spree.

                                    Simple sugar and carbs break down in the body correctly... Apples are good as long as you burn them off.

                                    Processed sugars go through the body like alcohol does, exactly like it does... but your screwed out of being drunk.

                                      True dat. Apparently the complex sugars confuse your body to some degree.

                                        You will probably have to drink water only and eat nothing in order to do that...

                                          White bread, white rice, white pasta and potatoes also convert into sugar. Amazing how many "wheat" breads are actually made from refined wheat instead of whole wheat.

                                            No, but sugar is a form of carb...the worst one there is.

                                              True dat.

                                              Once you start paying attention to what is in the food you are eating, it's amazing.

                                                  i've had type1 diabetes for 27+ years, eat ~400-500 g of carbs daily, most of that from fruits like apples and bananas yet i have 6-pack abs and minimal body fat.

                                                  there is a lot of bad information in this thread.

                                                    so do whole grains, just slower and more controlled. potatoes are not bad for you...

                                                    gravity causes belly fat, other than that it's lack of sufficient exercise. cutting down on sugar is just a healthier way of living, its not going to transform you into a fitness model.

                                                        That's because you work out... and not eating those nasty processed sugars.

                                                        If the carbs/sugars are in processed breads for example, is all around bad. Doesn't really make a diff how little or how much of it we eat.

                                                                      some of his key health measures actually improved.

                                                                      I'm pretty sure I remember reading that he ate veggies every day with his kids, he hid the bad foods away from them and ate healthy in front of them - so not to set a bad example.

                                                                      He also didn't do it over the last 20 years to an extreme, and he maintained his healthy life style throughout that time, something most fat over weight people do not even remotely maintain even if they eat smaller amounts of food.

                                                                      This diet as well includes a huge amount of preservatives, man made chemicals, corn syrups, and other crap that is extremely bad for the body... you may lose weight but dying of cancer before your 60, dick going limp early, and a ton of other crap these poisons do to our body isn't really living any healthier that just being a fat slob.

My wife and I already eat very clean and healthy, so it wasn't a big stretch to try this. Its definitely not impossible to maintain, but I could see how it could be quite an extreme change for some that might not be eating healthy. I didn't really need to lose any weight, but tried it along with my wife.

                                                                        Hardest part initially for me was cutting out many fruits and veggies because of their natural sugar levels, but there are some that will work within the restrictions. I don't eat anything processed and primarily only drink water, so much of the changes were minor such as using unsweetened almond milk instead of regular non fat milk on a very low sugar cereal.

                                                                        The book is a super easy read as each section has lists and pictures of the foods with brand names that you need to avoid along with their brand name substitute that worked within the diet, so there are no questions about what you'd need to buy in the store.

                                                                          Agreed. It is a much easier read than many of the other books on the topic IMHO. Plus it offered some decent "swaps" in regards to the meals. Other similar books and substitutes are very different than most would eat. Or complex to some degree. This was fairly easy.

                                                                          I personally feel the drink "swaps" are the hardest with few options, at least for me. I do not drink coffee, tea, or things like that. I find it hard to drink a lot of just plain water. At least SoBe was an option. Although those Zevia were not too bad.

Thanks for correcting me on the potato thing. I thought when I researched in the past that they were.

So if you truly want fresh flour and bread, you can buy wheat berries in bulk which you can store up to 20 yrs, and you mill it and bake your bread.

                                                                                  Isn't it true that artificial sweeteners have the same basic effect on the body as sugar? They trigger the same mechanisms as if you were ingesting sugar? So the only real benefit is in the actual calories of the various sweeteners?

                                                                                            That's how the "low-fat" BS tricks people. They make something low-fat, but put 20 grams of sugar in it.

                                                                                            I don't even know if its possible to avoid 15g or sugar per day.
