People at my job love their cookies and trip's to the soda machine. It's fascinating to watch.

EATING TOO MUCH SUGAR SIGN #1: you look in the mirror and something like this is staring back at you. Yikes!

When you eat a $60,000 piece of world war II era wedding cake

[Fungi]

Worthless article. They never tell you how to stop eating sugar. They tease you and the article ends with interminable adds.

[BipolarBob]

When you can’t see your toes much less touch them.

[Libloather]

Technically, drinking beer isn’t ‘eating’.

[Harmless Teddy Bear]

Are you talking natural sugars or added sugars?

[RedMonqey]

I guess I’m one of those people that if I ate their recommendatory limits I’d fall over dead from starvation.
I’m kinda high strung and burn off that many calories in a hour.
I drink two cokes, a coffee with one teaspoon of sugar, have two eggs and three strips of bacon every morning.
I’ve probably already blew through half of my required allotments before starting my day!
But then, I’m not behind a desk all day, eating and drinking caffeine and powdered doughnuts.

Please don’t hate me because I’m “beautiful”!

[The Truth Will Make You Free]

I’ve been on a low carb diet for quiet a while. I recently learned that can reduce muscle mass and in an attempt to find glucose the body can even use brain matter. Yikes!

According, I’m reducing my fats from about 65% of calories towards 27%. This means increasing carbs and sugars from 100g per day to 300g.

“”The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends...””

I reached the above phrase and ceased reading.

One of the best ways to a avoid pure sugar, natural sugar, and any other kind of sugar, is to use a centuries (millennia?) old method. This method works any and every time it is applied. This method is both simple and complex. It goes by many names. The most common description is: push aways - push yourself away from the table.

[Forgiven_Sinner]

Makes me feel better about my diet:
unflavored yogurt
no soda
whole grain cereal
eggs
fish
beef
whole grain bread.
tea with milk
black coffee

I get sugar from fresh fruit: apples, pears, peaches, oranges, one per day. And dried fruit: raisins, dates, cranberries. Plus 1-2 servings of granola bars, cookies, and dark chocolate.

The American Heart Association recommends that women eat no more than six teaspoons of sugar a day; for men, no more than nine.

For years I have had probably six teaspoons every morning (with about 3 tsp. of dutch processed cocoa) and before going to sleep, and many teaspoons more during the day. Age 72, 5'4'' 128lbs and usually active.

Trying to cut down.

[[It’s hard to imagine a life without sugar]]

Which is why I don’t even try to imagine it. Life is short, eat what you enjoy within reason.

The body actually needs sugar to combat cancer cells. It fuels the body (and not the cancer contrary to popular beleif) to combat the deadly disease.

I think it all depends on one’s metabolism-

[Racketeer]

I know that I have really cut down on sugar, even eating the “whites” (rice, pasta, potatoes, bread) 24 hours after cooking and reheated.

Far less sugar, very low glycemic load, and I FEEL GREAT!!

[discostu]

36 grams of sugar a day?! I don’t need that kind of aggression in my life. Screw these obnoxious toads. That’s what the gym is for, work off a bad diet.

[Wuli]

The fact is that some people have a metabolic system that handles sugar better than others.
