I have not watched this and all I can say is, with lots of fillings in my teeth, eating sweet things can be very painful experience. And since I cut it out, I don't crave it at all.
Next week on 60mins "artificial sweeteners give you cancer" Eat sugar instead.
I can't watch the video here at work, but cutting out or reducing sugar has had the biggest impact on dropping body fat for me. Sugar is in everything, and by checking the sugar content on certain foods, you can cut out of a lot of empty calories.
If I could only give one piece of advice to someone wanting to lose fat and get healthy, it would be to cut out sugar.
Yeah, you're right. But like I said, sugar is basically empty calories.Cutting calories not sugar caused you to lose weight. Just blanked cutting out sugar for no reason than it is sugar doesn't make sense.
Yeah, you're right. But like I said, sugar is basically empty calories.
Sugar is incredibly calorie dense. You're giving you're body a large dose of high GI carbs, which spikes your insulin for nearly zero nutritional value. There really is no upside to consuming sugary food/drinks unless you're mid workout and will immediately burn up the glucose in your blood.
Would the biggest difference be between natural sugar and refined sugars..
Sugar is empty calories but calorie dense?
I think I know what you are trying to get at though. Sugar vs micronutrient loaded food per calorie?
But yeah screw that, ice cream is the god's gift. IIFYM
When I say empty calories, I mean no or very little nutritional value.
There will be things more calorie dense than sugar, but it's pretty high, especially for a carb.
Some examples.
100g of rice - 111 calories.
100g of beef - 250 calories.
100g of sugar - 387 calories.
There are many case studies walking around representing a high sugar diet. Not to mention it's bad for your teeth and can induce Type 2 diabetes.
