Please explain to me, then, why I'm fat. Because I've given up all sugar multiple times in my life for significant periods, and I've never lost an ounce by doing so. Before you say I just don't know what sugar is in convenience foods, let me stop you. I cook from scratch and I know how to read labels. I am so effing sick of people declaring they know why others are fat. No, you don't know. Nobody does. If we knew how to fix it, we would.
