After I stop eating sweets I noticed I had less inflammation. I only drink water & tea sweeten with honey. If I want something sweet, I'll eat a piece of fruit. I feel so much better.

I only eat foods low on the Glycemic Index and I've lost 40 pounds in 5 months. I do work out a LOT; walking 10k steps/day and lifting weights 5x/week. Funny thing, though--I did about the same workout, maybe just walking 6k-8k steps per day, and was still gaining weight with no end in sight! When your insulin spikes, you go into fat storage mode and can't get into fat burning mode. Check out info on the insulin trap. Best wishes!

@wycka001 Sorry for not answering your question. Fruit sugar isn't refined and is a good carbohydrate so it burns off slowly. I eat 3500 calories a day from fruit and I for sure don't exercise enough to burn it off, but I'm not fat as well. The carbs burn off when I'm standing out in the cold and when I'm sleeping.

@shannondangc And what is your point? Look, your arguments are not valid. 1. I don't say that fruits or any food makes you fat or gives diabetes, but I assign my self to PEOPLE. It is all about quantity. If you are eating fruits one or two won't make you fat. Even 10-20 bananas won't make you fat, unless you will eat more than you can burn during day.

And I was asking what makes the SUGAR in fruit better, not fruit versus sugar... So you haven't yet answered my question.

[shannondangc]

@wycka001 Of course it's better. Fruit has carbohydrates, vitamins, and minerals. People are always saying that fruit makes you fat and all that sugar is going to give me diabetes. I've been eating primarily a fruit diet, along with some leafy vegetables and nuts, for a very long time, and I can tell you that I'm pretty far from being diabetic or becoming obese.

@shannondangc What do you think makes sugar in fruit better? Youtube search for sugar: the bitter truth, maybe that will change your opinion

@FeldwebelWolfenstool The title of this video is just a bit too broad when talking about sugar though. It could mean to say that all fruit is just as bad as processed/refined sugars which isn't. :/

[shannondangc]

@FeldwebelWolfenstool I am aware of the tu quoque debate fallacy. I just feel that if he is talking about what is good for us and what is bad then he should at least look like a good representation of it. Our bodies run on glucose in which I attain from mainly carbohydrates (high sugar and calorie fruit). What's wrong with that?

[FeldwebelWolfenstool]

@shannondangc ....what you are engaging is called an "ad hominum" attack, a "tu quo que" fallacy.

Like not taking no-smoking advice from a dying nicotine-addict. Argue a position, don't drag in a personality, your reasoning is defective and irrelevant.

@shannondangc lol I misunderstood too. no problem. And I agree with you, sugar isnt bad for you. It just CAN be.
