Carbs VS Sugar, which one is vital in achieving results for fat/weight loss?

[Anonymous]

What will give me the best possible results for fat/weight loss. Excluding healthy carbs like fruit. I've been focusing on cutting out/limiting both from my healthy lifestyle changes. Any apps to assist me with monitoring this also?

Both of those things are healthy. Processed sugar is not healthy. But natural fructose is, your brain runs of of fructose and it's what helps you think so don't be afraid if natural sugar from fruit.
Also carbs are also great for you. Ratchet carbs included. I et basically all start and have lost about 3inches of my waist and 3lbs. Starch is good for you.

Both of these girls eat a starch based diet and both if these girls have flat stomachs. Also both of these girls eat sugar from fruit.
Starch and sugar are good for you. What makes you fat it processed food and fat (having some avocado and nuts is completely fine but having a burger that like 50% fat will make you fat)
Also starch contains glucose and every single cell in your body runs off of glucose. An the point of food is to nourish those cells

by the way if your thinking of something like the Atkins diet I'd advise against it especially because the guys who made it died of a heart attack which is pretty scary.

You need healthy carbs. You need extra protein and you also need healthy oils such as avocado, fish, coconut oil, walnuts etc. What you don't need is processed carbs such as too much bread, pasta's, refined sugar, junk food or any processed foods. Healthy carbs are best consumed in the mornings and around your workouts because your body is deprived of it and will need it to function and at this time it won't become fat therefore you won't put on weight from it. So don't worry ok just eat right

Sugar is a carbohydrate. There aren't "healthy carbs". They are merely fuel. What you don't lose you store as fat. It is better to focus on protein. Your body can turn the protein into carbohydrates if it needs energy but it cannot turn carbohydrates into protein. It also cannot store protein so you need it each dat. It builds muscle but it also runs all the processes in your body. If you don't have enough, your body will metabolize your muscles to get what it needs.

Eating fruit isn't a problem. Ugh.

Processed sugars, yes, they're a problem, but seriously, eat fruit.

I said excluding fruits which contains natural sugars

For weight loss it's about less calories than what u need.

Having said this, u would achieve this by eating more or less carbs because protein and vegetables intake should be high regardless.

Rescue both refined and normal carbs. But Nora carbs (bread rice) should be 90 percent of ur sugar source not refined sugars like pop or a lot of junk foods.

A nice ratio would be 40 percent carbs 35 percent protein and 15 percent Fats for weight loss.

they both convert themselves into fat if not use properly. but i still would stick to carbs as they are still important for your health. used the bad carbs in the morning or when you need extra energy the most and use the good ones at night or when you are settled the most

Don't listen to low-carbers, make sure to eat plenty of vegetables and don't overdo protein. You need both protein and carbs. And fat.
However, you should cut down on white pasta and sweets and stuff like that. You don't really need sugar.

If you want to be healthy, eat a balanced diet.
If you want to lose weight, spend more calories than you take in.
That's all there is to it.

You can eat fruit. Its a single sugar that is used directly by the body, which is not the case for beet or cane sugar. Eat only healthy carbs like brown bread, brown rice, ...

[meatballs21]

MyFitnessPal is the best app for monitoring what you eat. Eat whatever you like, so long as you burn more calories than you consume.

[Drooogie4]

Less sugar.
You need carbs. Just good carbs.
