FFS, this keeps going around in circles, YES BEING IN CALORIE DEFICIT NO MATTER WHAT YOU EAT WILL HAVE YOU LOSING WEIGHT IT IS JUST COMMON SENSE
You can eat tim tams as long as you stay in deficit you will lose weight it is just plain old common sense, which should these days be called rare sense as no one seems to have it.
But will a diet of tim tams be sustainable, will you be feeling full all day, will be pulling maximum lifts and gains in the gym, will your body be healthy.....my guess would be NO.
This thread is just painful, how can anyone argue that eating healthy proper whole foods rather than refined carbs is better for you and will be easier to maintain a healthy weight![]()
It's got me stuffed, I won't look at this thread again its just too frustrating...it is a PROVEN FACT (not guess work) that refined carbs spike insulin levels unnecessarily, causing people to retain fat, more fat than they otherwise would it's science, carbs will also retain water in your body making you look more bloated.
And YES if you are in calorie deficit you can and will still lose weight eating carbs, but you will not be as healthy and probably won't feel as satisfied during the day with insulin spikes and cravings.
ChocChillii's a smart girl
The thread should end on this.

Bazz, that's anecdotal and you're drawing conclusions based on some assumptions you are making about what goes on in someone else's mind.
not having a go, but that's the premise of your response below.

Abstract
Adverse behavioral responses to ingestion of any kind of candy have been reported repeatedly in the lay press. Parents and teachers alike attribute excessive motor activity and other disruptive behaviors to candy consumption. However, anecdotal observations of this kind need to be tested scientifically before conclusions can be drawn, and criteria for interpreting diet behavior studies must be rigorous. Ingredients in nonchocolate candy (sugar, artificial food colors), components in chocolate candy (sugar, artificial food colors in coatings, caffeine), and chocolate itself have been investigated for any adverse effects on behavior. Feingold theorized that food additives (artificial colors and flavors) and natural salicylates caused hyperactivity in children and elimination of these components would result in dramatic improvement in behavior. Numerous double‐blind studies of the Feingold hypothesis have led to the rejection of the idea that this elimination diet has any benefit beyond the normal placebo effect. Although sugar is widely believed by the public to cause hyperactive behavior, this has not been scientifically substantiated. Twelve double‐blind, placebo‐controlled studies of sugar challenges failed to provide any evidence that sugar ingestion leads to untoward behavior in children with Attention‐Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder or in normal children. Likewise, none of the studies testing candy or chocolate found any negative effect of these foods on behavior. For children with behavioral problems, diet‐oriented treatment does not appear to be appropriate. Rather, clinicians treating these children recommend a multidisciplinary approach. The goal of diet treatment is to ensure a balanced diet with adequate energy and nutrients for optimal growth.
Sugar causes hyperactivity in children
While sugarplums may dance in children’s heads, visions of holiday sweets terrorise parents with anticipation of hyperactive behaviour. Regardless of what parents might believe, however, sugar is not to blame for out of control little ones. At least 12 double blind randomised controlled trials have examined how children react to diets containing different levels of sugar.2 None of these studies, not even studies looking specifically at children with attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder, could detect any differences in behaviour between the children who had sugar and those who did not.3 This includes sugar from sweets, chocolate, and natural sources. Even in studies of those who were considered “sensitive” to sugar, children did not behave differently after eating sugar full or sugar-free diets.3
Scientists have even studied how parents react to the sugar myth. When parents think their children have been given a drink containing sugar (even if it is really sugar-free), they rate their children’s behaviour as more hyperactive.4 The differences in the children’s behaviour were …
Choc, sugar doesn't make kids go hyper. I am sure know this, I am not even sure why you are arguing me with this. Who is the one that likes to argue again? Since you claim to be about the science do a 5 minute search and you will find papers showing the sugar, hyperactivity myth in kids has been disproven over and over.
Bazz read my post below. I state that the link is inconclusive (ditto for colourings etc).
All I said was that your latest post was anecdotal and not really a counter to what Mick had stated.
that is all. I wasn't arguing.
Also, NO MORE SUPPLEMENTS, not even protein.
