And 'fresh air' was good for you - until we came out with chunky style...Yep I know what you're saying. Just like bread used to be the foundation of the food pyramid. Now its a no-no

Nash's diet sounds almost scientific to me - throughout my entire 20's and into my mid 30's, I was a professional powerlifter.
That meant my daily diet consisted of meat, eggs, tuna, peanut butter, milk......
And I was in really good shape.
Now, not so much so. Have to admit I drink close to a couple of liters of soda each day and not enough of the good stuff. Haven't worked out in a couple of years. And my body is reminding me of "the good old days".
This thread has been inspiring. I think I'll stop buying soda, slice up some lemons and limes, and throw them in a gallon jug of water that I'll keep in the frigde.
And start working out again. Yeah, I need to do that. It really helps.
The primary reason to lower my intake of processed sugar is that it is an energy vampire, and the older I get, the more I value foods that keep my energy humming along. Which is the primary reason I kicked the majority of my processed sugar intake to the curb some months ago. There is no better feeling, to me at least, than the surge of well being and energy I get when I eat well and exercise vigorously. Only a few other things in life come close.
And I'm sorry, but say whatever some of you will, at the end of the day caloric intake vs caloric expenditure will always dictate weight in the long run. The quality of the calories you elect to put into your mouth will affect many, many things, energy and long term health among them, but your body will still respond to the sum total, regardless.
Why do drastic procedures like gastric bypass work to reduce weight if caloric intake isn't extremely relevant?
Coke bottles held only 6.5 oz (one third the size of the OP's Pepsi, so one third the calories) until 1955. My dad drank a six pack in a week. We kids had none.
Portion control for me trumps carbs vs fat vs protein effects, but hard to implement when the standard sizes are insane.
I love smoothies, especially made with frozen mango or passionfruit pulp and frozen bananas and yogurt, but we had to give it them up entirely, because afterward drinking one we would go into some type of horrible stupor that I assume was caused by a severe insulin reaction/crash. Don't think anything else hits me that way, but the smoothies sure did!
No peanut butter and more fruit than you listed. Plain yogurt.
I don't have a blood sugar problem - my fasting glucose are well within healthy levels.
Yep - I would say. The after effect would always blow us away so we quit drinking them.Wild -- just goes to show one size doesn't fit all when it comes to diet/exercise!
No one claimed there's NO correlation between calories in and weight gain/loss, but it's not that simple either. We don't metabolize all calories the same, and your personal metabolic rate changes in response to many factors. Beyond "burning" calories, exercise changes metabolic rate. Yo-yo dieting changes your metabolic rate. Individuals actively/passively change their metabolic rate within some range. Just two examples.And I'm sorry, but say whatever some of you will, at the end of the day caloric intake vs caloric expenditure will always dictate weight in the long run.

+1. And the jury is still out but make sure you research what's known about how your body processes artificial sweeteners, especially those who think it's all simply calories in & calories out.I recommend to those interested to run down to the local used bookstore and buy a nutrition textbook. Interesting to see what how the body processes various macro nutrients.

Sugar is everywhere. Instead of dairy milk check out almond milk. Make sure you get the unsweetened type. I like Silk Unsweetened Vanilla. A half cup has 15 calories, 1.2g fat, 0g cholesterol, 0g carbs and 0g sugar. I don't care for drinking it alone as one might a glass of dairy milk, but it's fine in cereal/granola/oatmeal. It also works really well in smoothies.
