When did you realize how extremely bad for your health added sugar is?

December 2016
I went for a week with no sugar because I was bored and needed a challenge. Legit felt great so I read up on the literature. Now I've cut down almost every sugary thing from my diet except the rare pinch of sugar in my chai.

>tell parents to reduce sugar intake
>they call me a hipster and laugh in my face

I just want them to live healthier :(

I was eating about 150g per day at 135lbs. I'd drive to the grocery store just to buy some more like some fucking addict. It felt weird.

Yeesh sounds tough. How did you break the cycle?

>>42313259

Idk, wasn't really a specific moment but ever since I started cutting 3 months ago I just try to have good meals that fit my calories and also try to avoid anything with a lot of sugar. I probably eat less than 20g a day I think, maybe even 15 (depends what I have). Or maybe that's in actual sugar and not added, I don't really eat any candy or things like that,

When did you realize changing your diet is a meme?
>started out eating clean af
>limiting saturated fat and sugar, no fast food lots of fiber and 1g protein/lb
>feel great and make gains
>said fuck it, increased satfat cause I like steak and shit
>still feel great and make gains
>next increase sugar intake because I fucking love chocolate and cookies
>still feel great and make gains
>go full retard mode with diet, reduce protein intake to 0.6-0.8g protein/lb so I can eat more shit, don't pay attention to fiber anymore, literally eat 80% of my carbs in sugar on some days and copious amounts of saturated fat
>...

I heard some stuff about how it really fucks up the bacteria in your gut eventually leading to clogging of arteries and such. Sounds pretty bad.

Speaking of elementary school...

I realized just how easy it is to get a bunch of calories from liquid so I stopped drinking milk regularly (not shitting on milk either, it's delicious stuff with good macros but the calories add up super fast since I love to drink big cups, also I guess this is related because lactose is technically a sugar) and then cut out sodas n shit after. It was super easy for me too, I used to be overweight but I'm in the green zone now. I read stories all the time about how people find it so hard to stop drinking shit like Coke when all I had to do was just "stop". No cravings or anything, and I drank it occasionally too so it makes me wonder how much trash these people were consuming on the regular to get legitimately hooked.

The ketchup one. Cube of sugar for the entire bottle or for that little diner serving? I'm guessing it's the latter. Why the fuck would there be so much sugar? It would mean ketchup is basically sugar, water and some spices.

just use tomato paste tastes the same but has no sugar , atleast the good brands

>>42315429
Because ketchup IS basically sugar, it tastes sweet and ruins any food you pour it on.

After being lectured on it at 14, but I started to restricted it and then started restricting other things obsessively until it turned into a full-blown ED within 2 years. feelsbadman

So why is it bad to have "added" sugars but the exact same sugar molecules are totally fine when they're from like fruit/milk etc?

Sugar is bad for you if the only workout you do is 3x5 stand ups with 5 minutes of rest in between them only 3x a week with the rest of the time just sitting at the computer
