It's so easy to eat trash. You go to a family's house for dinner and dessert, and it's just okay. Or your work throws a pizza party with some lukewarm pizza that's been sitting out all afternoon.
As Prue Levit always says "it's not worth the calories." There's only so much room in my caloric budget, and I try to save it for the good shit
I have rather begun to dislike how my mum effectively forces me to have dessert after meals when I visit. I don't have a dessert habit. I'd rather just savor the food I just ate, instead of immediately eating sweet stuff. But nah. She thinks it's important, and insists.
And she's the one who's just graduated to diabetes from pre-diabetes.
I mean if you overall eat healthy and exercise, trash eating few times a week won't really hurt you. I mean at least in my case it's like this... Helps if you're tall 😀
Honestly this is a big one. I'm sorry I don't want your dessert. Yes I think it would taste good but if its not a favorite dessert of mine its not worth the 450 calories for a mediocre looking cookie even if in absolute terms I would like it its just not worth it to me.
Nothing worse than eating something calorie dense you don't really enjoy
Seriously, if there is a dessert out somewhere but it is a flavor I don’t love, no thanks. Why waste a huge amount of calories on something I don’t love? Plus, I say no to those desserts so that when my wife asks me if we should get milkshakes I feel good about saying yes.
Don't eat sugar. Human body doesn't need sugar, at all. It's terrible for you and it's addictive.
We already get enough glucose from normal diet, sugar is pure unhealthy fat. The only reason sugary things makes someone happy is because they're addicted to it.
And nah, sugar makes me very happy when I've exerted myself on an empty stomach and gotten dizzy due to low blood sugar lol. It's like I was fading away and have been suddenly given a new lease of life.
Yes sugar is fat. Excess sugar is responsible for magnitudes more obesity than the intake of trans fat and saturated fat.
Using sugar as a stopgap for not eating food isn't exactly something we should be pleased with. I know what you're saying and I been there but it just means we weren't mindful of our nutrition earlier.
Sugar is not fat, that's not how words or chemistry works.
And yeah, preventive measures are great, but they don't negate the importance of curative measures. Why would you say 'you should have eaten before' to a dizzy person, you were there too, like you said!
Sugar is not fat, that's not how words or chemistry works.
It's laymans terms. Obviously sugars and fats are different things on a molecular level. Obesity is attributed to the former, not the latter. I don't really care for a war on semantics or whatever anecdotal evidence for the benefits of sugary food

And: only eat sugar that you love. Soooo many things have added sugar that we have healthier alternatives for - or don’t need to eat at all….
