Sugar: The Bitter Truth
« on: February 05, 2011, 03:02:14 PM »

Wow.  Pretty motivating.

I just started Atkins again a couple of weeks ago.  This is the 3rd time in about 10 years.  It is always really successful for me but I always start back sliding to bad habits.  Our enviroment really works against you in a lot of ways. 

Work 10 hour days in a startup, my lifestyle is crap.  Too much stress.  Too much desk time.  No time to prepare good meals.  Eat on the run all the time crap I get from fast food. Get home, eat premade crap, self medicate with a few brews and fall asleep on the couch watching a movie.  Wash. Rinse. Repeat.

If I actually take the time to make all the intersting and varied foods you can find in Atkins recipe books, then I could be perfectly satisfied.  I just can't find 3 hours a night to cook and clean.

Someone should start a fast food chain totally dedicated to slow carb, low glycemic load foods.  "Low Carb Cabbana"?.... There has to be a market.  Doing all that cooking for just one person is very inefficient.

But I gotta do something.

:furious,
Wab

Sugar......................  A needed carb.  


EDIT: Funny how you leave this sentence below alone:
The bitter part of the truth is really the bitter rationalizing we use to tell ourselves why we want more than we need.



Although I am reading this great little book about the Atkins Diet.............  It's called Atkins for Type 1's.   :D

Doesn't really make sense though.   :headscratch:

Sorry, not sitting down for a 90 minute video.  Reminds me of this story though, http://www.cnn.com/2010/HEALTH/11/08/twinkie.diet.professor/index.html.

I am a type 1 Diabetic and none of that is news to me.

Are you refering to Fructose and Sucrose?  Or are you refering to Glucose?

Can you link me to research showing that Fructose and Sucrose are needed carbohydrates?

Thanks in advance,

Lecture classes in college can last 1.5hr.  I'd assume a large percentage of this community could focus for that long.  :D

Heck, people will sit and watch "JackAzz: the movie" for 1.5 hours.  Maybe thats more your group.  :D

Funny..... I wasn't being a wiseguy with you.  

What I said is 100% accurate.

Two 12 year old kids with the same exact weight, metabolism and daily activities................... .  One kid takes in 400g of glucose per day, the other 400g of high fructose corn syrup per day.  Which kid is going to be fatter?

I'm really sorry for your weight problems but the different cellular structures of the various sugars play very little role in anything revolving around your diet.

Me too.   :D

But I'd rather be fat than stupid.  Good luck with that.  ;)

Sorry I'm not interested in the same thing you are.  I sit through plenty of lectures throughout the week, and I see no reason to give you the time to sit through another.  Just because we have the ability to do something, doesn't mean we are going to.  Not to mention the fact that I doubt there will be a heck of a lot information in that is totally new to me.  So how about this, chill out and don't worry about me.

Sounds like good advice.  Thanks for the twinkie link.  That was a good giggle.
