I eat about nine apples a day two bags of grapes and a half watermelon

And check my blood work every month and my sugar levels have never spiked

So you're telling me if I have 6 cans of Coke my levels won't change wet bandits ? Because you keep indicating that the fruit sugars and is the same thing as a Coke bottles

After school everyday ..

I know your trying to tell me that fruit sugar is the same as regular sugar but it's not .

And fruit sugar is way different that's like telling me I can get diabetes from apples and grapes lol

You realize that swimmers have 4,000 and 5,000 calorie a day diets right?

Jesus, you really need to take a physiology class, sugar doesn't give you diabetes. Not directly. The reason diabetics can't have a lot of sugar is because their body either doesn't produce enough insulin, or their body doesn't recognize the insulin that is being produced. It has nothing to do with causing it in the first place. It's just a symptom.

Diabetes is a number of diseases that involve problems with the hormone insulin. While not everyone with type 2 diabetes is overweight, obesity and lack of physical activity are two of the most common causes of this form of diabetes. It is also responsible for about 90% to 95% of diabetes cases in the United States, according to the CDC.

Because the sugars in fruit do not effect your metabolism like added sugars or fructose does

You guys can't be serious about the fruit sugars lol Fruit sugars are different than Coke sugars

They are different. But there can still be unhealthy levels of regular "healthy" sugars in a diet as well.

You seriously think of everything in absolutes. There is 0 grey area in your world.

If you go in on a fast, like I'm sure you do, no, your glucose will be the same, unless you have diabetes.

No it's not it's basically all wrong

No it's not

Again you're missing the entire point of his post

Calories are calories

There are different sugars that are absorbed by the body differently (which is what I think you're thinking of)

But the fact remains a calorie is a calorie (ie energy)

How the body absorbs it is completely different

They're different, sure, but sugar is sugar calorie-wise, which you still seem to not be getting. I never said they don't affect you differently. All I said was they have the same amount of calories.

Keep eating what you're eating and stop swimming for 2 weeks, we'll see what happens.

Maybe nothing, because you have good genes, you said everyone in your family is healthy. Or maybe you start to gain weight, because you're burning a 1,000 less calories a day.

It doesn't matter how many times I say it.

He draws a lot of inferences that I'm not implying.

I'll have to check it out. You don't have issues with this site crashing/refreshing every 20 seconds on your iPad?

I use AdBlock Plus on desktop and the site works totally fine for me. It's awful on mobile. I win an iPhone every couple of minutes. But I don't have an ad blocker on my phone. I don't need one. I mainly use apps to look things up if I need to. If I want to browse I wait until I get home.

I have AdBlock on my laptop. But I hardly ever use it anymore unless I'm working from home. All of my other browsing/internet related activities are done on my iPad.

It's sad I understand how his mind works

He could hear something for example (NOTHING HE HAS SAID HERE)

Eichel isn't elite at taking faceoffs

and turning it into who said Eichel isn't elite

He misses the point because he gets so focused on one thing in particular

That would be one hell of a feat of balance, all that equipment and then try and balance on one of those things with skates on? He'd also probably exceed the weight limit especially with the skates putting all that weight onto a tiny point.

Old people smh they think they know everything

No it doesn't because you told me if I eat four bags of grapes it's like drinking a butt load of Coke

They're both different

OMG. Just stfu about it already.

Still waiting to hear what the excuse is for the Bills defense looking good this week. Since you said Denver was going to prove that they aren’t good.

No I didn't. I said they have the same amount of calories.

A calorie is a unit of energy. "The energy needed to increase the temperature of a given mass of water by 1 °C."

They used to literally burn food to see how much it heated the water to see how many calories a food had.

Yes, that includes fruit.

A comparable amount of Snickers calories and apple calories would heat the water the same amount. Whether one is better for you or not is irrelevant. A calorie is a calorie.

I might be wrong, but wasn't the original conversation about weight loss?

Becuase Gerbe is right in terms of weight loss.

If you do Atkins, you slowly incorporate "good sugars" into your diet
