Both methods work. This works better for those training 30 mins a day a couple of days a week compared to a bodybuilder who trains religiously most days.

thanks for your 2 cents worth. It’s always good to have a healthy debate

[WORDPRESS HASHCASH] The poster sent us ’0 which is not a hashcash value.

You are missing the whole point on this article. We should not be encouraging people to eat this crap – or bread for that matter.

People who read my blog read it to lose fat. That’s who I’m writing for and to. Obviously not people like you who have 10% body fat.

You contradict yourself in your statement that wholegrain and brown bread are still processed foods mate just like white bread. I’ve never seen a bread plant before. So if you’re going to come on here and insult my intelligence I’d think twice before making a comment like “only wholegrain and brown (are low GI), white is high but then so is any processed food”.

But of course I agree that there are some misleading marketing approaches by which the company manufacturing of the product is responsible for. But this kind of marketing approach is inevitable and is the consumers responsibility to know the product they are purchasing.

Also, the approach for eating for weight loss is not a wise one. Eating for health, in which this product promotes, is a much more sustainable one. Of course this sugar is not lower in energy than normal sugar, but if you look at the way that it is absorbed in the body and the physiology and biochemistry behind it, it is a healthier alternative. Thus, it should be used as a replacement, not that we should eat more (and if one did, you would be right, it would be harder to budge that belly fat).

Maybe its the marketing you have a problem with, not the principle behind the product.

I know what you’re getting at but my whole point is that people who are looking for long term fat loss results cannot kid themselves that this stuff is acceptable – or any variation of sugar.

If you are going to have a cheat meal you may as well go the full deal in my book.

Thanks for your views, but it looks like we’re on opposite teams this time around. No hard feelings!

The fact it that this low GI sugar is less processed than regular sugar.

Have you never eaten sugar (including in cooking or other products)? If you have, wouldn’t you have preferred to use a sugar which is less processed and actually retains some of the healthy nutrients normally discarded through the sugar processing waste stream?

For those who choose to eat sugar in whatever form and for whatever reason, isn’t it sensible to direct them to a sugar which is less ‘bad’ for them?

People always talk about corruption in the old days but the food industry corruption is still alive and well. Thanks for your thoughts!

This stuff just makes us fatter and sicker. Look at low fat foods, no fat foods, diet soft drinks all of which have more sugars and chemicals like aspartame that have been proven to have a link with cancer.

Unfortunately, the manufacted stuff is not an answer to someone looking to make healthier lifestyle choices. It is just giving them an excuse to continue eating stuff that won’t be proactive to your fat loss.

As for your point about losing weight without exercise, yes it can happen but realistically, using exercise as part of a balanced diet and even weight loss management program will ensure that the whole body is in shape – inside and out. Just because someone loses weight and body fat doesn’t mean their organs will be healthy after years of abuse.

The human body is a magnificent creation that needs to be looked after and exercise is the true medicine.

Thanks for your comments though, I appreciate your views. We don’t always have to agree on here.
