    Only 18 calories per teaspoon and it’s all energy

    Yeah, that’s what calories are measuring…

      the false implication being that calories of energy are somehow better than “calories of fat”. Though since they don’t say it out loud they can mislead people without technically lying.

        Nope. Still propaganda. It has a negative cultural connotation but any form of persuasive rhetoric fits the basic definition of propaganda.

        Of course they didn’t. Do you think the body metabolizing sugar like any other calorie source and storing it as fat is new information that was completely unknown to science in the 1960s? You think they knew how to split the atom and go to the moon, but not the single most basic fact about nutrition?

        Have you ever smoked cigarettes? You know something’s up in the first month—you can feel them “taking your breath away”.

    You look weak. I recommend you drink some 36% cream. It will give you energy and you won’t need that exercise nonsense.

    Since nobody has mentioned it, if you eat Skittles or gummy bears after a workout it makes you feel so much better, at least in my experience. If I don’t eat sugar I feel like I need food urgently.

          TL;DR: Eating Haribos after workouts doesn’t benefit your body. People who are having controlled treats and cheats during their diet plans may be less obese (correlation). The author of this article concluded there’s a causality between eating Haribos after workout and being able to stay on your diet plans based on anectodal knowledge.

        It’s pretty popular with MMA and other people working out pretty hard. You can also mix glucose powder with some caffeine, OJ, and a tiny bit of salt.

        If you’re training for weight loss it might be better to avoid it unless the calories have been accounted for in whatever diet plan you’re using.

        Huh? It’s well known that it’s good to have carbs after working out. The problem is when you’re just eating carbs without using the energy because then it gets stored as fats.

        I don’t know if the particular comment you responded to is meant as a joke, but in my experience, a sugary drink after a hard workout does feel amazing. I get this post-workout thirst that no amount of water can quench, but a Gatorade will always do the trick.

      Another option instead of gummy bears that people use is a sweet potato although those can be hard to have on hand right after a workout.

      You can also buy glucose powder.

        Sweet Potatos are like Baked Potatoes. Just throw one in the oven whenever, cause you may not want one now, but by the time they’re done, who knows?

    Now, it turns out, bacon is actually good for you in moderation. Turns out it has the same Omega 3 fat found in healthy fish and other foods, so now they’re saying, a healthy diet should include bacon. And sugar, well - a spoonful of sugar helps the medicine go down, so we do need some sugar in our diet also.

    Got milk?
    Or the Dutch “Melk is goed voor elk” (“milk is good for anyone”). Same vibe, different era.

      Born in '71 for context.

      Fat bad!

      Sugar fine, just don’t go nuts. Bad for your teeth.

      Had a hard time getting my head around the idea that some fats are not only OK, but necessary and good for you. The brain washing goes deep.

      Also, all y’all are fat as fuck. It’s truly freaky what we kids considered “fat” vs. what people today call “fat”.

      Pro tip: Exercise won’t drop pounds, but do it anyway! Also, it’s OK, even desirable, to be low-key hungry.

        I’m in your cohort.

        Every time I eat fatty meat, I’m pretty sure it’s gonna kill me. And part of me thinks it’s perfectly fine to throw back sugary drinks and treats.

        Those fuckers have a lot to answer for.

        Keto taught me amazing lessons about fat. I just had to unlearn shoving cheese and bacon in my mouth all the time when I quit it.
