Putting real sugar in things is for fat messes.

I'm not a food person and I make no apologies for that.
I just eat to survive (and stay skinny).

Kill yourself now.
The rest of your life is just a waste of cereals.

actually that's not true
lots more research these days showing that you are much better to have a tiny bit of the real thing than bigger amounts of the diet substitutes, which are full of fake badness like aspartame, which can cause insulin rushes and then crashes that make you eat more, etc etc.

of course, the problem probably lies in the words "a tiny bit"...

I used real sugar for ages.
I still eat the same amount of food every day, and use the same amount of fake sugar as I would the real stuff. I do completely agree with what you say though, it can easily be just as bad/worse if you don't use it right.

i went out with a personal trainer for a little while
and he was adamant that you should be using the real stuff. for example, he said never mix animal and vegetable - eg fry vegetables in a drop of olive oil, but use organic unsalted butter if you are cooking meat/fish.

he was a walking example of his own healthy eating tips, but god he was dull.

And a credulous meat-head.

i am trying to remember the name of his diet
i think it was along the lines of the metabolic diet, ie some people should eat some things, and others should eat others.

i switched off after a while. he was quite depressing to date, even with a 6pack of iron.

Speaking as somebody with type 1 diabetes I feel I ought to point out that this is bollocks.
Kthx.

the research is def out there
whether it is bollocks or not is way beyond my feeble non-sciencey brain
