^ Then what they were trying to hide?

The problem is sugar (sucrose) is there in all processed food.
Fructose isn't necessarily healthier because it taxes the liver highly if consumed without sufficient fiber.
The problem is in the quantities we are consuming and the lack of fiber.


Regardless if they were trying to hide something or not, demonizing fat would make their products more attractive. Sugary cereals and such tend to be very low in fat.

Sucrose breaks down in the body, to half glucose, half fructose. The trendy hypothesis currently is that because fructose gets processed in the liver, and the liver can only process a certain amount during the course of the day, the rest gets stored as fat. Where the hypothesis fails is that even if it gets stored as fat, that fat would get used if you are in a energy deficit. I don't think there is proper to evidence to say fructose is "unhealthy" either.

I think the main problem people have is that they consume way too many calories, not enough fiber, not enough foods that are actually useful for the body. And people say "I got fat because sugar", because they don't want to take responsibility for the fact that they eat way too much. Trying to isolate sugar as the only problem doesn't make much sense to me.

Yeah, the most effective way to lose weight is to close the mouth a bit.

Btw, believe it or not, I am on diet!

My last week's blood test showed I have a high LDL (134, while max must be 130) and low HDL (33, while must be 45)

I got freaked, high LDL + low HDL means a higher heart attack risk, my mother has the same combination so it may be genetic.


I weight 60 kg, 5'3 of height.

I changed my lifestyle instantly: I was neglecting cardio training in gym, now i am doing 50 mins of it daily; I dropped all fast food, unnatural sweets (except dark chocolate which is good), less red meat, more fish, more olive oil, more nuts, more vegetables. I cut all fried things, more grilled and baked things.

Diets suck right? I miss sweets I miss steak and potatoes oh potatoes, fried, baked fries so many kids of potatoes. Know what gets boring rice and chicken.
I’m going try your a day cardio 3 days a week and work towards 5 days a week.


I don't know why I keep bothering, because you guys are so dense that you won't f*****g listen.

You can eat WHATEVER you want and still lose weight. Who the f**k told you that you can't eat steak and potatoes?

I really don't know why I keep giving advice to people who just ignore it. I am seriously getting frustrated, because you people keep whining about diets, but no one is forcing you to diet on the most bland foods imagineable. Your body does not categorize foods into "healthy" and "unhealthy". All it detects is total amount of energy, and nutrient breakdown. If you prefer steak and potatoes, then eat steak and potatoes. Steak is a good source of both fat and protein.


Have you ever looked at how many calories are in steak and potatoes vs chIcken?
Hamburger=380 calories, similar size chicken patty=180 calories. Potatoes are high in calories. Just a small amount of fries is 500-600 calories. So I eat chips now instead. Rice fills me up and is far less calories then mash potatoes.

I’m on a 1600 calories or less diet until I get to my idea weight of 200 or less:(
Anyways so fitting in 3-4 meals a day means 500ish did each meal. My work meal is 390 calories, break fast is 450ish leaves me 760 for the other meal or meals. I also have some filler popcorn at work. Today I burnt 525 on treadmill so that let me have chicken and rice for 520 calories. My planned dinner is about 500 so leaves me little wiggle room in case family makes or picks up dinner without telling me.

Though I actually had about 380 left over yesterday my app was still adding two protein bars instead of one and I didn’t notice but that’s ok I snacked on some cookies I shouldn’t have and ate one today they like 100 calorie each. But as long as I don’t go over 1800 I’ll still lose wieght 1600 is my goal less is ok I’ll lose more wieght :)

Losing weight too fast is dangerous and can mess up your hormones.

Losing weight fast will also slow down your metabolism making it harder and harder.

fast would be losing 50 pounds a month. I’m losing 2 a week or so.

When I tried to join the marines they had me eat 4 400 calories meals and walk a lot . In 2 months I went from 290 to 250. I walked 10 miles a day.

Wouldn’t matter if I died anyways my life is meaningless

That's fine then and just right.

If rember correctly very fat people can lose 4lbs a week then once you get thinner 2lbs a week is better.

Make sure to keep protein intake high to maintain musce mass.

Don't cut out fats, fats are good for you ad help.maintain healthy hormone levels.

Carbs give you energy.

So don't try all of these dumb no carb, no fat diets or whatever. Its all unnecessary rubbish.

Intermittent fasting is okay but pointless imo.

Why would I want to starve myself and exercise on an empty stomach every other day when I could just eat every day?

Is it wrong for a woman to prefer tall men?

According to the majority of the people in here, it's only wrong when women don't prefer what they are.

I prefer shorter women but do I consider a.girl taler a deal breaker? No.

Short men though are rejected by a lot of women who consider it a dralbreaker and some men are even bullied for being short, which is why "manlet" is an insult for.men under 6foot/180cm.

Don't ask.me. ask any short man and hell likely tell you this stuff. Ask Face of Boo first.

"waaa, women won't date short men" (Is short) - This is the one type of whiny man I have empathy for, because they probably have a point and it's not in their power to change.
"waaa, women won't date poor men" (Is poor)
"Waaa, women won't date men with no car" (Has no car)
"Waaa, women won't date chubby men" (Is chubby)
"Waaa, women won't date men who don't own a house" (Doesn't own a house)
"Waaa, women won't date men with no or a low paying job" (Doesn't have these)

You never see:

"Women won't date people with an unappealing personality"
"Women won't date people who seem boring"
"Women won't date people who never want to do anything interesting"

because that would mean admitting you're the problem as opposed to taking out your problems on women.

Don't bring me into this. You're projecting a personality onto me i havent shown here.

I defend the lonely.men here who struggle with women because they're short or poor but im not short or poor myself.

I don't even participate in dating at all since I see no point.

But when i did try I had a lot of trouble.

How do you know anything of my personality in real life? You don't.

I am very fit and active, I love going out with friends and family, outdoor sports. I'm a musician. I am always self improving and try.my best to have a confident, positive vibe and personality. I love cosplay and make my own costumes, volunteer.my time and working on getting a car. Go out to meetip groups and mental health support group ever week.

But I have no job, no car yet, lice utu my parents, not studying, and have nonidea what I want to do with my life.

I'm top disabled to work so I'm on a disability payment and I tale.meds and therapy trying to.improve but its taking a lot longer than I thought.

Anyway I have no interest in a career. Even whennI cangrt a job I just want a part time job so I have more free time to just love and enjoy.my life.

I wouldn't mind living with my parents until they die and take over the house in my own name.

I do want tosrige one day but.my anxiety is so severe I can't step foot behind the wheel yet.

I will gladly date a girl.who is a healthy weight like me, lives with her parents. Has depression or anxiety or other.mental illnesses, can't drive, doesn't have a job, is not studying as long as she has a.nice personality and Im attracted to her looks.

Do.you think theyd date me? Why/why not.?

I didn't say anything about you. You asked a question, and I answered it. Why are you defending yourself?

I thought when you said this:

"because that would mean admitting you're the problem as opposed to taking out your problems on women."

You were talking to me personally.

If you said 'the men in this thread are saying all this, they wont admit they are the problem and are taking it out on women personally' then i would have understood better.
