I'm ready to completely cut sucrose/HFCS out of my diet other than what I get from fruit. While I previously knew of the dangers of sugar, this guy's explanation of it scared the living crap out of me. To do this, I need to know where HFC/sucrose may sneak their way in. I understand that fast food as a whole is out of the question, as is bread of any kind. Of course there are other obvious things, but I'd like to know what carbohydrates I can eat here. I'm still trying to put on as much muscle as possible, and I'm not interested in going on a ketogenic/very low carbohydrate diet until next year ... that is, unless, you think it's possible and efficient to bulk without carbs. Any ideas? (Yes I'm looking at you, eschlow.) | ||

Any ideas? (Yes I'm looking at you, eschlow.) Remember that HFCS is processed from corn, and since it's really cheap, it ends up in really cheap, processed food items. Colas, processed foods, are a good example. The video you presented assumes that we consume excess fructose that is causing us fat... I don't want to go into details why fructose doesn't, but for your question, I'll answer assuming you want to cut your calories by limiting the amount of simple sugars. (for example, Fruits such as strawberries contain fructose, but the pectin and fibre in the fruit slows down the breakdown of that fructorse, and not as concentrated as HFCS). If you want to try to avoid HFCS, it's found a lot in highly processed foods. If you're really scared, you can always check the ingredients list. If you saw the first 30 seconds and you saw how a Japanese diet works... rice, noodles, etc, they're not as highly processed as compared to... McDonald's food. If you want to consume carbs without as much sugar, they would be in the form of complex carbrohydrates- Rice, Pasta, Grains, the more complex the better (ie grains). Breads are okay as long as they're whole grain or multi-grain. I wouldn't freak out of trying to eliminate HFCS in your diet. Although it's possible to do so, it's hard to avoid. All you can do is limit your amount just like any guilty pleasure in life. I don't think he even mentioned anything about exercise helping to alleviate excess calories yet o.o Note: in that video (first 10 minutes) 59g of extra carbs can simply be found in a bottle of coke o.o Edit: I tried limiting my amounts of sugar for a month to see how I felt, and simply put, the calories that I would have had from a coke was instead "complex" (resulted in the same amount of calories), but there were times where I wasn't able to store enough glycogen to keep my workouts going. In his presentation, he targets fructose rather than glucose, which is pretty interesting. I'm gonna give it a shot for a month starting in October and I'll get back to ya... The last time I listened to these type of "pro-diet" presentations, it made me turn vegan for 3 hours... | ||

He mentions exercise's role around 1:12:00, but I don't think it's the explanation you want to hear... The last time I listened to these type of "pro-diet" presentations, it made me turn vegan for 3 hours... Veganism is retarded. Yeah, I said it. | ||

I finally listened to the entire video and saw the exercise portion... kinda sad, but he does make a few good points. More calories are burned through the recovery than the actual act of doing so, he rather talk about how weight gain occurs through fructose rather than how weight loss occurs. I liked that video a lot. It'll make me experiment for a while to see how it turns out. It's not as drastic as trying to go vegan (lol) | ||

This is the type of damage that happens when there's too much sugar in your blood: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Advanced_glycation_end_product I wrote out the process of atherosclerotic development here: http://www.eatmoveimprove.com/2010/05/cardiovascular-disease-and-eating-right-the-facts/ Real foods tend to be the best. If you're not intolerant to milk that's what I'd go with. If you're not then brown rice would be better than breads, pastas, etc. Stay away from gluten/wheat products in general. You know the deal. | ||

If you're not intolerant to milk that's what I'd go with. If you're not then brown rice would be better than breads, pastas, etc. Stay away from gluten/wheat products in general. You know the deal. Thanks for the info; I agree that a food's "realness" is a good indicator of its nutritional value. Current diet is looking like this: Breakfast: 80g of oatmeal OR 100g of all bran cereal 3 large eggs 1 cup of 3.7% milk Multivitamin/fish oil 10 am snack (post-workout on Fri, Sun, Tue: 60-80g of oatmeal 1 serving of whey protein in 3.7% milk Lunch: 1 large chicken breast (250~280 grams of chicken) 100 grams of brown rice Fish oil 3 pm snack: 1 large chicken breast (250~280 grams of chicken) 40 grams of brown rice Dinner: 200-250 grams of beef or pork Medium salad with fatty dressing Fish oil Before bed: 100g of cashew nuts Casein protein shake in 3.7% milk All in all, I eat 150~ grams of oatmeal, 520~ grams of chicken breast, 1-1.5 liters of 3.7% milk, 1 serving of whey/1 serving of casein, 140 grams of brown rice, 200-250 grams of beef or pork, some salad, and 100 grams of cashew nuts. My macros are: Calories: 4100 Fat: 170g - 35% Carbs: 270g - 25% Protein: 370g - 35% The number of calories on some days will probably be 10% lower because the amount of meat I eat isn't always going to be the same; this is a rather high estimate. I'm trying to do this as cleanly as possible from here on out and I think I have it down pretty good. | ||

Make sure your dressing isn't made with any processed seed oils though... go with olive oil or something along those lines. I love my Italian but it's like all canola seed oil or something... not so great. :\ I gotta find an alternative I'd leave out the bran cereal and go with all oatmeal. Cereals in general are all pretty junky because of the processing etc | ||

The only problem with old fashioned oats is that they take some time to cook, and I am often times in a pretty big hurry in the morning. | ||
