Mark doesn't like sugar page

[Chrisf12]

Mark does not like sugar nor advocate it -- Why does he use sugar and creamer EVERY DAY in his coffee? Not very primal? So is sugar OK but in moderation? Advise.

1 teaspoon of sugar? If you go out and grab a cup of coffee, your option are black, sugar or chemical sweetener. One packet of white sugar isn't going to hurt anyone. It's when one packet becomes four, and one cup of coffee turns into three, and before you know it you're eating 12 teaspoons of processed white sugar a day.

The average american consumes 22 teaspoons of sugar per day (not to mention the 71 lbs of high fructose corn syrup per year). Mark has 1 tsp per day in a cup of coffee and no high fructose corn syrup. He says it is about enjoying life. Primal eating can be flexible on some things - especially if you are active and healthy.

Mark is not the messiah

(altogether now: he's a very naughty boy!)

The spoon of sugar is his 10% or 20% or whatever the wiggle room is.
He's not saying YOU have to take sugar....

yeah Mark's just proving he's human and definitely more evolved than a spambot, LOL!

The cool thing is that YOU can choose not to eat sugar! :-) Mark does not come to your house and make you eat it. Nor does he come stop you from buying it at the grocery. He just tells you what is up with it. Up to you to decide what to put in your body.

I'm often reminded, "it won't kill ya..." 1 tsp is harmless, in my mind.

Mark is where he wants to be, 4g of carb fits within his daily total for maintainance.

A little sugar, or really even a moderate amount of sugar won't hurt many people who are healthy and active. Some it will. Do what is best for you.

I sense a slight in this post... Mark just believes in being ketoadapted; and I don't think he's the carbophobe people have been painting him to be....
