Honest Q, Want an Honest Answer

Is it okay to eat cake/ice-cream/little candy a day as carbs for one meal only, and small amount, not talking kitkat, or a whole huge cake, or grat amount of ice cream.

Is it?

I can't seem to stop myself lately, so I'm eating everyday, but little really. Not ever meal a cake, or ice cream, or candy. Just once.
I read that when sugars goes into your body, your body does not recognize where it's from.

I know some of these stuff are unhealthy, and are empty calories, but is it okay? I'm just going through a I-need-sugar phase, while couple of week ago, it was like I-need-more-fat phase.

I dont want to stop myself 100%, cause i know i will FALL BACK. But I balance it. I believe I do.

It's probably true, the body doesn't recognise where Sugars come from.

The body basically processes calories, and uses them according to what they are and what they do.

As for your query, I don't think you'll cause yourself a major problem. If you stick to one meal, and you keep the portion very low.

Though I am not advocating loads of Sugary or Fatty negative Carbs, just so thats clear .

no...schedule in 2 cheat meals a week at most and stick to it...i'm a little meaner than bossman

Boss man...
ha, i know of course you're not
But i just needed to know if it's fine to eat sugary stuff that comes from that source, and no big portion or every meal. Cause I really dont want to deprive myself, like i did, and suddenly go back, and more!

Swan..
i know im on a diet and i shouldnt cheat. B4 it was one day a week to eat whatever I want deom junk, reasonable portions, and healthy stuff as well, but it doesnt seem to work.

The thing is i think it's because of monthly. Ehm.
It happens a lot to me. When i get period....i just want to eat sugar, junk shit, and stuff like that.

So..i think its just a phase right now for me...that will ease up and go soon.

[swanso5]

gotta love those monthly's

[Boss Man]

Yeah Swanso, you are well mean, Mr Meanie.

I'd let her have 1 or 2 After Eight Mints, or a Ferrero Rocher a day .

[(Rage)]

I noticed this happens a lot to me when I get "the montly"..I really just want to sugar, especially ice cream!

Btw, is having our period(girls of course) does anything to our bodies? Metablosim? Calories? Anything like that? Or nothing at all? It surely does POOF stomache like I was fat, and doesn't go or relaxes easily afterwards. It makes me go in a depressed state, and angry too!

[BeachBride]

There is a BC pill - Seasonale - that you can take so you only have 4 periods a year.... It's the best thing since sliced bread!

... and no, it doesn't make you gain weight.

[swanso5]

monthly's make your hormaones play up so while others may cringe sugar, others will hold a lot of water (bloating) while other's get depressed and angry and intolerant etc

[Boss Man]

That's why sometimes it's not always a good thing taking something like Creatine, if you're female, as the water retention, could be a bain, when your TOM happens, and you retain even more water.

[(Rage)]

in case, all the above applies . Candy shit. Mood shit. Bloating shit. *tears*. I don't mind getting period btw, its okay with me, but i does a lot of stuff to me.

Where is creatine found btw? Mainly?

[Boss Man]

2g a day from Meat and fish. I wouldn't worry about Creatine, I just used that as an example.

[(Rage)]

Ah i see, isnt it mostly in proccessed meats? or im just imagining?

[Boss Man]

I don't think so no, just most Fish and Meats in general.

[(Rage)]

ah okay then
