Does a little sugar really matter?

[Staind]

When cutting down...Does 20 grams of sugar a day really going to make that much of an impact on fat loss?

[Staind]

I mean considering you take in around 200g's carbs(180g's good carbs and 20g's from sugar), 200g's of protein, and 40g's of good fats.

i don't think so, I personally have more than that per day when I cut and it doesn't hinder my results.

That depends. You need lots of sugar directly PWO. On the other hand, the are many other types of sugar, like sugar found in fruits; candy; etc. So when you ask if 20g is ok, what and when are the sources coming from?

Is It in your PostWorkout Shake?

[Staind]

My sugar comes from my cereal in the morning and the skim milk inside of it...and yes - from my post-workout shake(I put a cup of skim milk in it).

[Bily Lovec]

dont use skim milk or any casien protein in your post workout shake, it is a slow absorber, use a faster whey protein...
use the casien for your beddy-bye shake

Cereal?!

Most Breakfast Cereals — To us, cold breakfast cereals, even many of the brands touted as "healthy," are pure physique killers. Cereal is breakfast candy, nothing more, nothing less. In fact, corn flakes have a GI rating even worse than white bread! And how about these cereals that give you "energy", like Grape Nuts? Yep, at 47 carbs per teeny tiny serving (and what bodybuilder would eat one serving anyway?), most people would be in an insulin-induced coma by lunch.


Here’s a piece of trivia for you. John Harvey Kellogg, the founder of Kellogg’s cereal, invented Corn Flakes to reduce sexual desire and curb the "epidemic" of masturbation. Besides "castrating" people with ****ty, high-carb breakfast foods, Kellogg also recommended that small boys (not infants) be circumcised without anesthetic so they would forever associate the penis with pain. He also thought that women should have their clitorises treated with carbolic acid to prevent what he called "abnormal excitement." As a side note, Sylvester Graham invented the Graham Cracker believing it would also diminish male sexual desire.


Now tell me, do you really want to eat a food designed to make you a Testosterone-free eunuch?


All that said, there are a couple of good cereals out there, but not many. All Bran and Fiber One make decent oatmeal replacements, just eat some protein with them. All Bran Extra Fiber only has 50 calories a serving and 13 grams of fiber, almost four times as much as oatmeal!
