I ate sugar every day for 30 days and lost 12 pounds. Why did I do this? Why did I deliberately eat less nutritious, high calorie, high sugar foods every day for 30 days?

Is it because I want you to eat more junk food? No.

Is it because I want you to deliberately spike your blood sugar every day? No.

Is it because calories are all that matter? No. They aren't all that matter.

Is it because chronically spiking your blood sugar is good for you? No. It's not good to chronically spike your blood sugar.

So, why did I eat sugar every day for 30 days just to show that you can still lose fat while spiking your blood sugar?

1) Because the fear mongering around blood sugar spikes needs to stop. Just because chronically elevated blood sugar isn't good for you, does NOT mean blood sugar spikes are bad for you. They aren't. In fact, without blood sugar, your health would be in serious jeapordy.

Not to mention, it's not just high sugar foods that spike your blood sugar.

Did you know high intensity interval training will spike your blood sugar (even if you're fasted)? Because your body needs a quick form of energy, so your liver releases glucose into your blood stream for fuel. Not to mention, adrenaline can lead to blood sugar spikes, as well.

Blood sugar spikes aren't bad. They're a normal, healthy response to eating, exercising, and more.

2) Lowering blood sugar isn't always a good thing. Did you know alcohol actually lowers your blood sugar (even if you drink it with something very sugary) because your liver needs to prioritize the alcohol? Under the "blood sugar spikes are bad," dogma... alcohol would be a health drink. But that's obviously not true.

3) When it comes to fat loss... calories are king. It doesn't matter if you're a man or woman... 20 or 80... insulin resistant or insulin sensitive... have PCOS or not... if you want to lose fat, you need to be in a calorie deficit. And as long as your calories are in check, you can absolutely include your favorite foods (including sugar) and still lose fat and be healthy.

Listen.

Eating disorders are more common now than ever in history.

And the fear mongering charlatans on social media saying you can't eat fruit or have a treat or dessert are causing irreparable harm.

I want you to be able to enjoy yourself (in moderation) without guilt.

I don't think that's crazy.

Do you?
