I thought we were discussing sugar, not carbs.
I thought sugar was a carb, and that most carbs impact blood glucose levels. Carry on though Dr Oz.

Are you deliberately being obtuse?

How is this even possible
You'd be surprised. Sugar is in everything!! I was surprised to find out there was sugar in some of the seasoning mixes I use.
Put pen to paper one day and accurately count up the grams of sugar you're ingesting.
Now of course, for the people that drink soft drinks, their count is exorbitantly higher, but even for non-coke drinkers...it gets insane how much sugar one THINKS they are ingesting vs. how much sugar you're ACTUALLY ingesting.

I don’t understand how people eat and drink so much sugar. I hate hate hate soda. I hate ketchup. It’s all so goddamn sweet, but falsely so.
Now fruits and veggies i’ll Eat happily, but this high fructose corn syrup laden garbage I can’t stand 95% of the time.
And as usual, here come all the perfect male species out the woodwork talking about how clean they eat.
Even though when you go into gen pop, the beach, the grocery store, etc., the amount of land whales walking around is insane, but surprisingly, the congregation of dudes here, all eat super clean aka The Tom Brady Diet, can all throw a ball like Drew Brees, frick a 10 every single night, credik score is 830+, and just wins every fricking day.

Yep. Thank you for posting this.
Just as I stated above, it's crazy how much sugar is in everything. My wife and I did an overhaul late last year and I was shocked to find that sugar was hidden in some of the spice blends we use.
I know for the first few posts in this thread, a lot of people are stating how they just don't understand how you can ingest that much sugar. Unfortunately, it's extremely easy.
If you do a mental tally and then actually put pen to paper or use a macro/micro counting app, chances are you will be shocked to see how much sugar you're actually getting.
I had read some statistic that said the average adult male gets approximately 300-550 grams of sugar per day. Throw in two cokes, morning OJ, and a Gatorade...you're in the 800 gr vicinity.
Probably not this group of manly, well-read men, but the "average" male....

I quit about 5 years ago. Yes, it will take a few weeks for those symptoms to stops, but for a bout a year, I would just have an urge every month or so to eat a whole box of fruity pebbles. Good luck.

After 2 weeks, the sugar cravings are slim to none, average daily sugar consumption is now around 60 to 70 grams a day (mostly fruits) vs 650 to 700 grams. Weight is down from 272 to 258 and a lot more energy and heart palpitations are gone. Also good to lose the foul mood and short temper I had which reminded me of this SNL skit Lay off me I'm starving!
