I'll do you one better. The sugar industry is a monopoly. Everything is owned by a company out of England called Tate and Lyle.

I used to work for them. They own everything globally.

Refined sugar is the height of simple carbs.
Avoiding simple carbohydrates is the key to a healthy life.
Basically simple carbs is any food that gets soft in or dissolves in water.

You know what else makes people fat?

Sitting on their asses and eating fast food and not getting any exercise/physical activity.

If you are active, you can eat pretty much whatever you want. Moderation and normal size portions along with exercise of some sort is key.

Sure in the simplest terms.

But there is evidence for sugar addiction being a real thing.

Further, sugar is known to cause fatigue and sluggishness after consumption.

Sugar is also a quick way to add substantial amounts of calories in a short amount of time. There are 4 calories for every gram of sugar, which is equal to protein; however, sugar dissolves easily in liquids making it easy to consume large amounts without feeling full. For example, a bottle of coke - often seen as a thirst quencher or not even real food - has approximately 140 calories out of ~40 grams of liquid. There are 39 grams of sugar in the product. A 4 ounce serving of chicken breast, something many people would see as a major part of a meal, has 181 calories with ~30 grams of protein. Nearly identical grams in their nutritional content but one is actually filling while the other could be guzzled along with a meal.

A healthy person telling a fat person (or unhealthy person) that their laziness and sedentary lifestyle is more to blame than the sugar they are consuming is an example of ineffective persuasion. It would be more beneficial to properly educate them on the true effects and dangers of consuming sugar in their diet (addiction, cravings, fatigue, and calorie accumulation) and encourage them to change the kinds of foods they eat before asking them to successfully cut calories with portion control or exercise.

True but you're also over 60 and "work on a crew" so you lost at life

For people that are overweight, they're not going to get rid of it by just working out and eating smaller portions of shite food. They need to eliminate carbs and sugar....from what I've seen I think they could probably just eliminate those two ingredients from their diets without much exercise and see significant physical improvements.

They are both empty calories, but fructose has been shown to inhibit leptin.

The theory is that fruits were consumed in high amounts before the winter. It helped you eat more and fatten up before a lean time.

What really gets me is when I describe how I eat the conversation turns to "yeah, Adkins worked for me too back in the day but I can't go without bread". What kind of shite is that thinking? If you stay thin and healthy, you can live without bread
