      Important to note

      In the 1960s, the sugar industry funded research that downplayed the risks of sugar and highlighted the hazards of fat, according to a newly published article in JAMA Internal Medicine.

      Fat still isn’t good for you. It’s just that sugar is bad for you also.

        Fat is an essential macronutrient. It’s just that we consume way too much.

        Just stay clear of transfat and saturated fat as much as possible, and you will be healthier.

      People keep blaming sugar when it’s usually not the problem. You have a few foods that are pretty much just sugar like soda or gummies. Any other snacks have just as much if not more fat in calories than sugar. Not to mention all the frozen crap, take out and other convenient foods that are loaded in fat and are extremely delicious compared to healthy stuff you can make at home.

      Sugar is bad I’m not contesting that, but fat is just as bad. Try to put in more veggies, make food at home, and write down your calories so you can minimize the number of calories you eat. If you’re anything like me, you’ll find out that you’ll always eat more fat than you plan rather than carbs.
