The director did an experiment with himself. He ingested 40 tablespoons (160g) of sugar (refined sugar) every day for 60 days. In two months, his waistline increased by 10 cm, and his weight increased by more than ten kilograms. The calories he took in were not much different from what he had taken before, or even less.
When I saw the little brother who had the tooth pulled, I remembered that I had watched it intermittently before, but I was shocked again when I watched it again today. Sugar is really everywhere. Only 20% of the products on the supermarket shelves are sugar-free. The oatmeal + yogurt + juice that the director eats for breakfast contains 20 tablespoons of sugar, and the milk tea he drinks in the United States has 130 in a cup. More grams of sugar...Although I know that yogurt and milk tea drinks contain sugar, I didn't expect that there are so many.
Moreover, eating these sugary foods is not the same as eating sugar directly. At least you will feel tired if you eat them directly, and you will be more or less afraid or repelled psychologically. But if sugar sneaks into these foods to make them tastier, we're unknowingly consuming a lot of sugar every day, and our bodies haven't evolved to the point where we need so much sugar, and it's not surprising to gain weight.
Some time ago, I was very craving for all kinds of candies. Every time I finished my lunch and dinner, I always wanted to have a few of them. Once I ate them, I couldn’t stop. I knew rationally that it was not advisable to eat this way, but I couldn’t help feeling full of guilt. Go into the canteen. I just realized today that eating sweets is so addictive. Dopamine and endorphins make people want to eat more and more. Quitting sugar is as difficult as quitting smoking.
When I deliberately lost weight before, I learned about some of the hazards of refined sugar: gaining weight, getting acne, affecting mood, causing some chronic diseases, etc. Under the same calorie, foods containing refined sugar are more fattening than healthy foods!
Everyone should have the right to know the dangers of sugar and then make their own choices and take responsibility for their own health. As long as we eat less fructose, eat more healthy carbohydrates and protein, and endure it for 2-4 weeks, most of us can get rid of sugar control. But it's easier said than done. Now I don't drink milk tea and all kinds of fruit juices, and I rarely drink yogurt. When I make snacks, I deliberately add a little sugar, but I still endure it occasionally. I can't stop drinking some tea drinks. The hardest thing is not to eat ice cream. It's too painful!
