How often do you consume sugar?

Question

They say sugar is just as addicting as certain drugs and more than others

Sonorous · Accepted Answer

Increasingly less tbh. The main times I consume it are when it's in fruits, vegetables, or other essential affordable foods I might purchase.

I'm pretty sure I'm sensitive to extreme insulin spikes, especially when it comes to sebum production. So, before I eat any simple/added sugars, I try to lower the glycemic load of the meal by eating, protein, or fiber first if I can. When I do this and stay under a certain amount of sugars in a meal & day, I can tell my body can function better. Especially my gut as it doesn't need to contend as much with bad bacteria.

Every day, but only small amounts of it cuz sugar is one of the worst things to put inside of our bodies, even though it taste good , it’s sadly bad for us, but so many foods have sugar in it , I try to eat foods that just have natural sugar in it or no sugar at all and try to eliminate foods with added sugars as much as possible. Even though I like to indulge in sugary foods on occasion , I make sure I don’t go overboard with it. Why portion control is the best way to go if you are trying to lose weight

How do you define sugar? Some form of sugar is in almost everything. It's what makes the world go round. The entire planet would die without it. It's almost impossible to eat without getting some form of sugar.

If you mean cookies and ice cream, I'd say "every now and then". If I have it around I'll scarf it down in no time. But I don't usually have that stuff around.

HawkPerception · Answer

Almost never other than fruits. I admit that I've been cheating a little recently though. I've had some apple strudel and some ice cream recently.

Only when I eat a lot of protein. I like to keep balance, and keeps me from just eating junk all of the time.

I have absolutely no idea as it's virtually unavoidable these days! lol

RingOfFire · Answer

I am definitely addicted to sugar. So I can't have anything with sugar in the house. I think sugar is extremely addictive.

I can have very small amounts of it that's in food, but no sweets. I can eat a whole container of ice cream at once no problem. So I can't even have it in the house.
