So you think no science or expert opinion was included in the documentary? Ok.

If half the morons that blame sugar could see what comes through military BCT versus 20 years ago they'd realize how true this statement is. Recruits are so physically (and mentally) weak that it's impossible to get a significant number them to a point that they can reliably pass the three-event APFT in one BCT cycle. The new PT test is going create platoons of holdovers due

It’s less about hurting feelings and more about cutting school budgets that leave them to decide between keeping core content classes that are “tested” and things like physical education, nutrition/health

Because it’s not synthetic and you can literally taste the qualities.

No offense but women and pussy males being in charge of education is what is killing physical education in school.

Your understanding is not even advanced enough to be called bro science; it’s more like how toddlers think. Like eating is some simple process where your body has a certain caloric need for homeostasis, and anything under = lose fat and anything over = gain fat. This is demonstrably false... it’s downright silly.

The following is what happens when you eat an Oreo:

Your body decides whether to burn off immediately, store for immediate use, or store for later use. All of these decisions are person-specific and influenced by genetics, lifestyle, and yes even the very good you just ate.

First, the assumption that both of our bodies “absorb” the same amount of calories is false. Some of us will just pee and poo out more than others, quite frankly.

Second, once you eat, your body really only absorbs the sugars because of your insulin response. No insulin = sugars can’t be absorbed and just flow around your bloodstream. That’s what diabetus is. Your body’s insulin response will be different from mine, and so already you and I are absorbing different amounts of sugar from the same Oreo. Further, both of our insulin responses will be different depending on the time of day, activity levels, and other factors including the food we are used to eating. In other words, your body is making it’s best guess - based off your lifestyle - what the appropriate insulin response should be. That’s why someone who never eats a lot of sweets will feel like shite if they suddenly eat an ice cream cone. Also why someone who drinks a Big Gulp every day will feel like shite if they stop.

And that’s not all, once your body releases the insulin and the sugar is absorbed, your body THEN makes another decision whether to store that excess sugar for later use or immediate use in the form of glycogen. If you run 10 miles a day, your body knows it needs to have a lot more glycogen on hand than for someone like me. Because it knows it will probably need it since there’s a high chance of you running 10 miles. But if you don’t it'll just pee out the glycogen. Will take a while for you to stop running every day for your body to get the picture and start storing the excess sugar for later. And even THEN, some of us will be more predisposed to storing as fat while others more likely muscle. And all of this is assuming your body didn’t just burn off the energy immediately in the form of increased body heat or heart rate.

Let me know if you’d like to learn more about how retarded calories in/calories out is
