[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nothing is "healthy", some things are just less unhealthy than others.

Also, when speaking of carbohydrates, one must specify, as all carbs = "sugar", but often people use the word sugar to specifically mean sucrose from cane sugar.

Carbs are ok in moderation for active people. The human body needs about 50-100grams of glucose a day, which it will make if you don't ingest any carbs at all. Most is used by the brain.

Sugar is not healthy.  And some carbs are more healthy than others.

Once you cut sugars out and most carbs out (no desserts, no bread, no potatoes, no grains) and not alcohol and make your carbs be mostly fruits and vegetables your body will thank you.

I went on an eliminate sugars and most carbs.  I start day with good protein and veggies (a "hash") and a dollop of guacamole/avocado, and I no longer crave snacks/sugary things.  Lunch includes a protein and lots of veggies, same for dinner.  Any snacks are fruits or veggies (but don't go overboard with fruits, as they are nutritious but lots of "sugar"---I eat more veggies than fruitsand when I eat fruits it's apples, blueberries, raspberries, strawberries---more nutrition for the carb level fruits.

Veggies---skip the potatoes and use sweet potatoes as your "starchy veggies", lots of greens and squashes.

I lost 8 lbs in 10 days doing this, no longer crave sugars and continue to loose weight.  And I am not overweight---my BMI prior to this was 23.

I have so much more energy now, sleep better and just feel better.  Haven't had bread or a cookie/dessert in 4+ weeks and no longer crave it.  Blueberries and dark chocolate (once in a while treat) are enough
