I have been sitting on here for hours, perusing boards, swatting up on nutrition, suppliments etc and came across this in a post.........
I used to drink a ton of Gatorade when I worked out. Only to discover it's poison and I'd never work out enough to burn the extra calories I was drinking. That and it raises your blood sugar so much it's impossible for your body to use fat as a fuel source when you have that much sugar in you.
This assumes, of course, one cannot lose good tissue eating a box of jelly and chocolate covered donuts, when it leaves an appropriate deficit at the end of the day
This is certainly possible, for some. Ones diet, doesn't necessarily have to be absolutely CLEAN, when trying to lose fat tissue, "especially" when fat is high with an average healthy male or female.
This also doesn't mean the person will not have complications with cravings when the blood glucose spikes, and suddenly drops, thus kicking in hunger pains.
Recommended? Of course, not. Most of you know how I feel about the diet. But, it still is true.
"Sometimes" eating healthy food content, is not necessarily synonymous with losing fat tissue (dependent on the person and---just as important, persons' goal placement). And, to me, this is an important point to understand.
Likewise drinking an occasional "diet" soda pop (with no calories), while being potentially unhealthy, isn't detrimental to one's fat loss quest as seen in this sense, IMO. It is the worst choice to pick if you had to choose between water and it, of course. This goes with really mentioning. Pure water, is always the better option. However, in its most BASIC and RAW meaning, drinking this no-calorie drink, in the face of calorie deficit, isn't that critical, and one still can maintain their goal path.
Most persons (in general, assuming average healthy), have a difficult time just withstanding the parameters in the RAW and BASIC structure of personal calorie construction that would solicit fat loss. Couple this with certain weaknesses (whether emotional or what ever) for food, they can step--out of the required boundary: This (in the sense of RAW and BASIC fat loss) is far more important, than being "overly" concerned with drinking a drink that is--within the parameters and boundaries--of their calorie restriction.
Of course one should attempt to balance healthy food choices (you guys, know how I feel), when dieting to lose tissue, I state this only to make a point.
Best wishes,
