How many have quit sugar / sweets?

I have quit sugar and sweets some years ago. I feel way better, and after the detox can't stand sugar anymore. What about you?

You are retarded if you think sugar itself is any different than Complex carb sources besides lack of micronutrients.

You are retarded if you don't understand that sugar is the body's preferred fuel for physical activity.

You are retarded if you don't understand that there is a threshold of sugars you can enjoy in order to build up muscle and liver glycogen without turnover into fat.

Keto is for sedentary, slow energy burn. Any high performing athlete with muscle mass knows that low carb diets are shit for performance. Keto is fine if you plan on sitting around all day on your ass and going on walks.

When your stomach acid breaks down a potato or rice, the unsweet chains of carbs are broken down into simple glucose which is sweet. Simply not tasting sweet doesn't change the net metabolic effects.

Organic orange juice is different than a God damn little Debbie cake. It's the combinations of sugars and fats which may cause people to overeat and get fat, but at the end of the day, it's calories in calories out.
