I have been experimenting with this for almost 20 years. Seriously, every morning when I wake up, I stand in the mirror naked. I obeserve my body and how it changed from the day before. I think about what I ate the day before and how I exercised.
I pay special attention to what I ate the night before. I like to have dessert. I have a sweet tooth. My dessert is either fruit or a processed sugary snack like cupcakes/ice cream.
Here is what I have found after many years..
When I eat processed sugar like cake, cookies, pie, ice cream, soda, candy, etc. - I develop excess fat around my belly.
When I eat fruit - I develop no excess fat around my belly.
Again, this is all from personal experience. I know some doctors and scientists say that sugar from fruit is the same as sugar from soda. My experience does not agree with that. A soda the same as a handful of grapes?!? They are not the same. The soda will make you fat, the grapes will not. That has been my experience.
thats because those "dirty foods" are calorie dense,whilst fruit is not.Just to let yoy guys know I used to believe all this stuff too,that cakes,sodas and candy were bad but its all broscience.I bet the majority of people on this forum do not count macros (which is the no.1 factor determining body composition).
The reason you get fat is not because of soda and candy,its because you go over your calorie intake
