So how much fructose is too much/detrimental to health? I'm talking fructose from fruits and agave nectar, not HFCS or anything.
Domino Theory said:
From fruits? It would be hard to take in a lot. Fruits aren't all that high in fructose, most of the time.
Agave nectar? Wouldn't take much at all. There's no real redeeming value to it, besides being used to make certain foods palatable (like plain yogurt, which I just can't eat).
I mean, when you consider that it would take about 3-4 pints of raspberries to make up the sugar in a single can of Coke, not to mention the fact that those raspberries come with more fiber than sugar (which will help in digesting slower and make insulin not spike as much), you're looking pretty good. You'd only want to avoid fruit if you're on a keto diet, IMO.

Natural sugars are really quite good for you.
Maybe not in terms of weight loss, but they do help to keep your blood sugar levels stable and normal.
I mean, outside of the normal "Too much of anything is a bad thing." there really is no set number.

I did a reset/shake diet last week and I'm feeling great. Lost 11 pounds from Monday to Friday, and I'm now back on a regular diet, watching my calories intake. Rebounded 3 pounds as expected, but they're dropping in at a healthy rate.
Thanks for sharing the info on the OP. I will post a pic of shame soon for comparison in a few months.

I ate too many carbs today, I feel bleeeeaaagh
AceBandage said:
It's the equivalent of honey, or maple syrup. It's just used to sweeten stuff. If you're not on a keto diet, I assume it's fine in very small quantities.
Still, you need to keep in mind that maple syrup, honey, agave nectar, and table sugar are going to have as much fructose in a single tablespoon as you'll find in 2-3 servings of fruit.
Try to avoid as best as possible.

Happened to me with bread last weekend. My dad brought home a loaf of fresh bread, and I couldn't resist. "Just one piece!". 4 pieces later, I was still starved, and yet I felt disgusted. 600 calories of nothing.
It's so brutally obvious the difference in "filling factor" in between carbs and protein/fat. My little 400 calorie protein/milk/flax/banana shake fills me up and feels satisfying. Those 4 pieces of bread felt like an appetizer.

I have to have some carbs. I felt worthless and sluggish going no carbs. I will certainly do reduced carbs though.
WinoMcCougarstein said:
Yeah definitely reduce them.
I need carbs. I'm not at a point where I'd be able to cut them out completely...that's just too tough for me. I've found a happy medium, where I've eliminated bread, potatoes, and sugar, and it's been working out nicely.
Seriously though, you will need to cut out bread and potatoes regardless. It's far too easy to eat up tons of calories worth of these empty carbs and feel hungry.

When I was trying Atkins I had a great roasted cauliflower recipe. There was also a really good cauliflower puree that was about as close to mashed potatoes as possible.

By themselves, of course.
Nothing better than summer blueberries if you need a sugary fix.

I don't want any part of any diet that won't let me eat cheese. Might as well fucking kill yourself.

I am 6'3" and was topping out at 205lbs (mosly gut), in the past month I lost 8 pounds. Live in China so here is my current diet/exercise routine.
NO:
noodles
rice
soft drinks
YES:
meat on sticks
smoothies
beer
Exercise:
Ride my bike at least 5 hours/week
Gym Weights 3 times week (noob style don't really car too much about it and can't get into gym "culture")
So as you can see its not really that hard and I would consider my self "super lazy"...

I've tried it multiple times now, I've gone the 3 weeks once and 2 weeks twice. It just doesn't seem normal to me and is definitely not a diet that I can do long term.

Jesus man, the diet isn't for me. Why do you care so much?
WinoMcCougarstein said:
No, I'm just genuinely interested here. Everyone I've ever met who has attempted this diet would usually come out bursting with energy within three to four days, no exceptions. Some of these friends would come off the diet due to being unable to sustain the restrictive nature of it, but energy was never an issue aside from those first few days.

As have I.
I blame the cake in the fridge.
I found out I can get 1/4 roasted chicken for $3.49 at the grocery store right beside my work. Add on a $3 greek salad, and a small packet of olive oil dressing (~15ml, 9g of fat or so), and I think I've found a decent quick fix meal at lunch. Not as good as grilled chicken breast + steamed broccoli, but not too bad, I think.

You know what gets rid of that bloated feeling? I like to hit up the gym and get in a solid workout. I end up feeling a lot better.

Anybody eating black soy beans? I'm eating the Eden brand no salt added 8 grams of carbs and 7 grams of fiber in a half cup. I like making Mexican 'rice' with it and grated cauliflower.
Any other ideas for low carb high fiber foods? My pooping is not very satisfying.

Question for the thread: On Low Carb, how low we talking here? My consumption is pretty small with my breakfast bars giving me 24g and a small serving of mashed taters with my peas and chicken breast for dinner (dunno the grams off the top of my head). I'm looking about getting the potatoes out with something else in their place, but want to get a better idea of a good threshold. I'd like to do rice, if possible.
And at the moment, no, I don't want to do no carb (at least not yet). When fighting sleep apnea, you need some short term sugars to keep you going. When I plateau, I shall re-evaluate then (and hopefully the apnea will be better as well).
EDIT: Nevermind. Found this.

Do you work a late shift or just get up late?
If it's the later, I'd seriously suggest waking up earlier. It's better for you.
JoeBoy101 said:
Basically, it really depends on your goals, but anything less than 100g a day will likely lead to weight loss.
Also, I'd really suggest cutting out the breakfast bar (it's full of sugar, I'm sure) and the potatoes, but that's just me.
Tried mashed cauliflower. Very tasty. Don't see myself needing to go back to potatoes anytime soon.
Anyways, cheat day tomorrow! I'm either going to do a meatball sub, poutine, or spaghetti...hmmmm.
Oh, and aside from that, down a notch in my belt since I started 3 weeks ago. I'm going to need a new belt soon...I'm on my last notch. Feels good!
