How bad is sugar really?

[ritch]

First off, what the fuck is your beef man? I always love your posts, and contributions and even started a thread about you being MIA and was hoping u were ok as we had discussed Anxiety. Why are you a prick? Mad about something bro?

Never said that was my plan, just a snap shot of a day of food during my "not giving a fuck" stage at the moment.

After so much time of posting stupid shit, it comes to this man.

You ever tried getting in shape by conventional methods? Why??? Why even think about such stupid shit?

NO idea, no need to reply, I don't care.

But keep doing EVERYTHING that flies in the face of what works and keep on wondering why things don't work out the way you want.

It's good to be curious, ask questions, but stuff like this just triggers the "hate reply" in me.

I swear... I was just about to come back make a post and end it just as you did.

"Still love you man"

I'm soooo edgy post workout, it's utterly disgusting. Until I get a smoke in me, forget it. And believe it or not, I used to be 10x's worse.

Ah, the life of being "me"...

Im edgy but not mean or harsh, more like just super self aware and anxious. Its so annoying. I felt like that at the gym today. Every move or thought is calculated instead of just being free and easy going

Over calculating can be a huge stress for sure. I don't put a time limit anymore when I train and no idea how anyone can do legs in an hour,lol!

Look at India. They eat about twice as much sugar per capita than anywhere else in the world.  Do you see lots of fat Indians ?

LOL. What???    India is at the bottom of the list of sugar consuming Countries.  averaging 5.1gms/day per person.  Compared to the US which is 126.6gms/day per person.

Insulin.

sugar: demonized by bodybuilders, loved by endurance athletes... who's right

also, all food is not broken down into sugar.  the body uses fatty acids and protein in various ways.

ritch is just insecure because he's never tried anything outside of what's 'worked for him' and doesn't want to believe that his success might not be attributable to his ideas.

I always eat over 100g of sugar a day, but my overall calories are at a maintenance level and I get over 40g of fiber a day. Shit isn't rocket science

What is that 100g of sugar coming from? Exmples pleez

If all carbohydrates, be it oatmeal, apples, broccoli or jelly beans, gets converted to sugar; and if you don't ingest carbohydrates your body will convert amino acids to sugar, why is sugar so bad for you? Your body cannot survive without sugar.

Excess stuff gets stored as fat.

Sugar (like anything else) is fine in moderation.

Staying under the RDA is pretty difficult, though. I cut it down recently but don't really feel or look any better after having given up candy.

in most cases insulin is the main culprit for all the crap sugar can cause in your body. OThe only part of our body that needs some glucose is the brain. It needs about 25% of it's caloric demands from glucose. Your body can convert amino acids and glycerol from fats to glucose and meet that demand. there's no need for external intake of glucose.
Cancer cells btw thrive on sugar intake. it's proven that cancer cells have a lot of insulin receptors in their membranes which means the diets high in sugars (carbs generally) also help them grow a lot more.

Usually the more sugary stuff is just random things from Costco that taste good and gives me extra calories since I need 4000. They're not that high in sugar, but it adds up throughout the day. I also eat 2 pieces of fruit.








^these are really good

Yes I have and is why I post as such.

Nice try though...

Until I see flocks of REAL LIFE people who are more advanced, bigger than me, I will consider it again. Until then, no way, doing good as I am.

Yeah, it showed on your physique sugar tits. Quit trolling Esau.
I can't believe some of these people believe you're "smart".

You shouldn't criticize anyone's physique without posting a pic of your own for comparison.

Adonis should get a lot of credit for sticking with bodybuilding and trying to find a way that works with his genetics.

Carbs are sugars and you need carbs,but sugary sweets are just empty calories that do nothing beneficial for your body.


Sure they supply energy also,but are devoid of nutrients compared to a carb like sweet potatoes or white potatoes for just two examples.

A potato will contain a lot more vitamin C than a Snickers bar.

No, you're wrong. He's trolling you.  He doesn't believe in what he says.  Doc Kaje this isn't the same site you knew and loved.  I'm not talking about Adonis losing weight. I'm talking about Adonis lying about the effects of sugar.  He knows it.  He's lying it's what he does.  Don't be a moron.

Avoided sugar like the plague but recently have been having the odd can of pop here and there and feel or look no different to when avoiding sugar, if sugar didn't give you diabetes I'd drink loads of pop

Moderation is the key when it comes to sodas and things like that.


A few sodas here and then won`t ruin your physique.......just excessive amounts become detrimental.

Like Jim/Disgusted pointed out above,insulin is a fat storage hormone and constant insulin spikes from eating crappy carb sources can help you add unwanted fat to your body

It being an honest opinion is irrelevant. You still shouldn't criticize someone's physique without putting yourself out there to receive the same treatment.

I don't feel the site has changed one bit. People are just more free to say what they feel and post crazy or stupid crap. Funniest thing about the G&O being so hostile? Ron banished many of us to the Alphabet boards years ago because he argued the G&O would be better without ball-breaking, site be more professional, be better monetized, etc.. and it was all bullshit.
