But the truth is, I'm constantly eating sugar so I'm constantly using sugar for energy, rather than burning up fat. Hence my weight loss has almost stopped completely!
I just wanted to say that what your body uses for energy has very little to do with the levels of macro-nutrients (carbs, Protein, Fat) in the body - only really if you are severly lacking in one. What your body uses for fuel depends on what you are doing at the time - the intenity of the exercise or movement. During innactivety and light exercise your body will be predominantly using fat for energy. When you're talking about weight loss you need to think about an overall KJ defecit - not where the KJ are coming from. Does that make sense? Also as exercise intensity increases (and your body switches to carbs ((sugar)) ) so does KJs burned, so fueling your body from carbs is not a bad thing!

I read today that the average Australian consumes about 115g of sugar a day which is almost 42KG per year It's pretty scary.

Sorry, didn't mean to hijack your thread - just thought you might be interested
