It’s hard to imagine a life without sugar. But how much sugar is too much? The American Heart Association recommends that women eat no more than six teaspoons of sugar a day; for men, no more than nine. This means no more than 25-36 grams or about 100-150 calories a day of sugar. The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends eating a maximum of 50 grams, but preferably no more than 25 grams of sugar per day.
Does that sound like a lot or a little? Well, when you consider that a 12 oz can of regular Coke has 39 grams of sugar, and even “healthy” foods like a granola bar (8 grams of sugar) and a container of blueberry greek yogurt (14 grams of sugar), are packed with hidden sugar, it certainly puts things in perspective. Most of us consume at least twice as much sugar as the recommendations allow.

When you eat a $60,000 piece of world war II era wedding cake
Worthless article. They never tell you how to stop eating sugar. They tease you and the article ends with interminable adds.
When you can’t see your toes much less touch them.
Technically, drinking beer isn’t ‘eating’.
I like the way you think!
What is an Irish seven course meal?
A six-pack and a potato?
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”!
😜😜
Correction:
My two cokes at at lunch and supper, not all at breakfast.
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.
Here’s a Metcola article on watermelon https://articles.mercola.com/sites/articles/archive/2024/08/31/benefits-of-eating-watermelon-regularly.aspx
“”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.
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.
What are the five signs?
It ain’t rocket science.
You can figure it out.
Sheesh.
“I recently learned that can reduce muscle mass and in an attempt to find glucose the body can even use brain matter. Yikes!”
No. Just NO!
Been Keto for 7 years and trending closer to Carnivore. I have MORE MUSCLE now and your body doesn’t eat your brain in search of glucose! Don’t know who blew that smoke up your butt! It is not remotely true. You sure as heck do NOT need 300 grams of carbs (which mostly ALL convert to sugar in the body) to keep going.
FWIW, I’m in my upper 60s and run about 15-18 miles a week, and do pull-ups and push-ups and some weight lifting.
Vogue article means it is pure BS.
