Is high fructose corn syrup the problem.

NO.

There ya go. i answered the question.

But more specifically, I've discovered that to be a misconception. What I mean is that I'm currently in the depths of a ketogenic diet, which is in time going to help me slim down and look like my old self again. The question is why after basic training did I balloon up to 226 pounds.

It was a shock to me. I thought after eliminating HFCS I'd done it, I'd figured out how to drop pounds. WRONG.

ANY sugar consumed at all in large amounts will lead to weight gain. And I mean ANY.

I thought nothing of having some apple juice. But look on the label of those things 30 grams of sugar. Typically people are supposed to get 40 grams per day.

I'd usually have 2 of those. So over the course of a few months I'd pack on tons of weight like a retard.

Ugh. I hate life, and love it at the same time. I don't know why my father spent thousands of dollars to send me to a high school and college that didn't teach me SHIT about diet and nutrition, but that's life, what can I say.

So I'll teach YOU.

Do NOT:

Eat sugary food or drinks

Eat too many carbohydrates. Have a little because you need carbs.

DO:

Eat plenty of protein, at least 60 grams per day. Evenly dispersed to maximize glucagon effect.

Get plenty of water as that helps stimulate the fat burning process.

DONE:

You will in time get FIT as SHIT.
