The simple truth is that sugar is healthy.
One problem can be that some people’s bodies lose the capacity to process sugar. The main reason is damage of the pancreas caused by consumption of polyunsaturated fat.
Stop consuming polyunsaturated fats, and in a few months you will have an increased capacity to benefit from consuming sugar.
And so fads in food come around full circle.
I can vouch that, although I am seriously pudgy today, when a child I could scarcely hang onto an ounce of body weight. And so I think I spoiled myself. I could scarf down whatever I wished; now I have to watch, watch, watch.
I think fat in the diet has itself been made into much more of a fiend than it needs to be. Fat helps food have staying power and be satisfying.
Thank you for the wise counsel.
‘Polyunsaturated fat can be found mostly in nuts, seeds, fish, algae, leafy greens, and krill.’ (Wiki) I’ll do my best. I agree that we all need sugar and that excess sugar leads to problems.
Sugar as in the refined sugars we have is not healthy and in fact very addictive. Complex sugars in fruits are healthy.
Here what I experience and I’m in my 31st day of low carb diet and down a size in shirt and pants.
higher energy
better breathing (can’t walk yet with swollen feet getting better)
feel lighter ready to get back on my regimen
steady weight loss as clothes show more looseness every week
When I go back to sugar, sweets taste worse. And all the good effects above go away after 4 or 5 days.
Sugar really isn’t very good for you. Americans eat about a gazillion more times than necessary. I love the stuff, but it sure isn’t helping my health.
