Very nice to outline your methods. You mention,
"So no sugar, ice cream ,cake and starches."
As I look back I also see it is not lack of exercise that makes/keeps one fat, it is what you eat.
Not even so much how much you eat, but what you eat. You pretty much have to go cold turkey or have bare minimum sugar around.
It is more about the liver converting excess blood sugar and glycogen to fat than it is calories.
Ture story. I once gained 10 LBs in one week, The only thing diff in my calories was although I was not eating lightly in other areas but the one thing I did diff that week: Was eat a whole cake, (no frosting) in 48 hours on a Wednesday-Thursday.
On Sunday I step on the scale. 10 LBs. I expected ok maybe a LB. It was converted to fat that week! Had nothing to do with calories. I would have had to consume 35,000 calories in theory to put on 10 LBs.
They say you must consume 3500 cals over and above what you burn to put on a LB. But in reality it doesnt work that way.
I think some of us are truley addicts to sugar at least psychologicly and are also hyper sensitive and put wt on real easy from sugar.
It is what you eat and you named them. Sugar being the worst with starches #2.
All one needs to do is go on the
"don't buy it diet"
But I feel something is going to happen I guess
if I dont get at least a little sugar of some type. But is there indeed such a thing as just a little poisen as you say.
Cause I have always eaten sugar. I belieived a little could do no harm. It is only say less than 300 calories a day. But it doesnt work that way.
Someone should post a poll as to how much sugar a day do you eat. Would be interesting. I would like to eat none.. for a long while.. someday.. and see what happens.
Anyhow, way to go
