so far, I agree with Ken Berry about everything he says on youtube.

Peter Attia in his book OUTLIVE

Says he hates diet talk, because once you cut out processed foods and sugar, there is no proof one diet is better than another..... but there are lots of opinions.

He does love exercise talk, became there is proof that for most people, more is better.

I’ll shoot you the recipe

You conveniently forget Clark claims he can
"eat as much as he wants" and still lose weight.

If cancer can be cured through prayers as you promote,
why didn't you use prayers to solve the your obesity or
prayers to repair the body after sugar consumption?

Basically, if you can perform miracles through prayer
why the need to bother with science/good nutrition?

Please...stop baiting the idiots.

8 years ago the wife and I went low carb and each lost 40 pounds.

We watch health related youtube videos every night while eating nuts and berries for dessert.

I feel like I am in a meat eating religion and will soon be handing out leaflets on the street corner.

https://www.healthline.com/nutrition/how-much-sugar-per-day#safe-amounts

"According to the American Heart Association (AHA), the maximum amount of added sugars you should eat in a day are:

Men: 150 calories per day (37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons)
Women: 100 calories per day (25 grams or 6 teaspoons)
To put that into perspective, one 12-ounce (355-mL) can of Coke contains 140 calories from sugar, while a regular-sized Snickers bar contains 120 calories from sugar.

In contrast, the US dietary guidelines advise people to limit their intake to less than 10% of their daily calorie intake. For a person eating 2,000 calories per day, this would equal 50 grams of sugar, or about 12.5 teaspoons .

If you’re healthy and active, these are reasonable recommendations. You’ll probably burn off these small amounts of sugar without them causing you any harm."

Using common sense, eating some sugar in high activity, it's just another fuel.

I guarantee those 8 million old humans sought out every sugar source they could and preferred it over any other.

As with anything moderation and application is common sense.

Kent

Do you think most Americans eat more or less than your recommended 12.5 teaspoons a day?

Do you think only the fat people eat more than 12.5 teaspoons a day?

The truth is that those recommendations are highly influenced by the food industry. If you doubt that then read the McGovern Reports.

I think activity burns the calories, if your muscles are burning and your breathing is hard those calories are being depleted quickly.

There's a balance in the cell molecular composition... 70% water and the rest organic molecules.

Do you also think that more than 12.5 teaspoons of sugar are perfectly fine as long as that activity is burning it off? In other words, eat as much sugar as you need as long as you are active enough that it doesn't make you fat.

Not a gotcha question.

I believe sunshine may cause skin cancer and on some level an hour of sun exposes you to that.

I know fish contains mercury and eating it exposes you to that.

But there is no reason to get fanatical in the normal lifespan of a human.

Kent

Sure, at a level common with any food. The problem with sugar and inactivity is on the cellular level, it has to get there and stay there.

Kent

Do you think that an overweight person would be better off avoiding sugar altogether in order to lose weight?

There's a lot more problems associated with increased sugar intake than just weight gain.

Sure at the extreme and theoreticaly, until they aren't overweight again, hopefully they learned something.

Kent

Not in real world application if it's burned off at the time. Theory goes back to sun and fish.

Kent

Refined sugar in real world application means concentrated, they've removed the bulk. But it still has a calorie number. If the average person with average activity should only have 10% of their daily diet as sugars, at 2000 calories that's 200 of sugar, that's more than a candy bar or soda.

If you are much more active those numbers change because the daily calories change.

If you are overweight those numbers change and your daily calories should change.
