We got duped into thinking fats are bad and sugar is good. The thing is, is that it is completely false. Why do they push sugar into everything? Do parasites thrive in a host that has high levels of sugar. The more truth that is revealed is going to shock a big portion of people. I think parasites are the problem to everything regarding our health. No wonder we never get a yearly de-wormer or anti-parasitic, but all other animals do. Things that make you go hnmmm. Just my opinion so take with a grain of salt.
For a while after you consume sugary products for a significant period of time, you are not tasting quite authentically either.
If you spent, say, a month in ketosis, things taste a lot better. And when you go back to sugar, it tastes spectacular, which evokes an interest in having more of it.
We do have a boat load of alternative sweeteners now that come close, but a lot of them (Stevia, Ace-K) have really iffy aftertastes, and not all of them work the same in cooking (Allulose used as an alternative to sugar for caramel, but other sweeteners like Erythritol don't, Erythritol is good for ice cream but it makes it hard whereas monk fruit or otherwise may make it softer, etc.)
Sugar is legitimately addictive and destructive to your body in many ways, but in reality it's not even strictly sugar doing this.
It's high fructose corn syrup, the true culinary culprit to the rise in diabetes.
Used in too many things, extremely concentrated empty carbs. Your body hates that shit.
Indeed, and my experience is that the more you place yourself in a state where you burn ketones, the stronger your desire for sugar ramps up exponentially. I always break my keto fasts with natural sugar, for example. My desire for it is staggering.
I'm the opposite, after I cut my sugar consumption way down and did the keto thing, I no longer craved sugar like I once did. I now crave fatty meat and vegetables. If I do eat a sugary thing, it gives me a sour stomach as if I drank alcohol (I quit that too) and I swear not to eat that stuff again. I will have bread once in a great while and that is it as far as grain carbs.
