It's nefarious! Especially if you have a dopamin deficiency (ADHD, etc.) and you eat so you aren't bored. I can eat 500g of m&ms in one sitting, no problem, and I'm not even overweight or something.
Same here, m&m's are nefarious indeed.
I cut out sugar for a month recently and my sleep cut in half and my depression really worsened. Really affected my job performance. I didn't think it would last that long or be that bad. It's crazy. I went back to eating bit of sugar and the same night had a great sleep. Not sure what to do now. I find it easy not to eat it but the side effects are very difficult to deal with
Replacement works for me. Replaced all added sugars stuff (drinks, ice cream, cookies) with fruit and the difference was very noticeable. Fruit also has its own kind of sugar, but my body runs differently on that compared with food with added sugar.
You can eat whatever you want if you just work out seriously an hour a day. If you do that properly, gaining weight will become the challenge.
An hour of strenuous exercise might burn 800 calories. That can be undone in moments with one milkshake.

Fructose (the sugar that comes from fruits) is more harmful than glucose though.

Part of the sweetness in berries comes from other sweet compounds like Glycine for example.

My biggest problem with Keto is that is that one bad meal and your out. I found it was just such a pain in the as for other as much as it was for me. Every meal at someone elses house I had to make my specific nutritional requirements available to the host, which then puts them out.
Sure, you're out of ketosis. Anyone who says you have to be in ketosis all the time for low-carb to work at weight loss is confusing medical ketogenic diets (e.g., for epilepsy) with practical ones. Medical keto diets don't have leeway because they depend on the ketone bodies as an antiepileptic drug. Weight loss keto is more about taming the cravings and getting you away from junk food. I lost my weight over a decad…
Every time I've come off keto, I've always had the intention of staying "lowish-carb" afterwards. It never works. Your body just gets used to whatever it has, gives you cravings before you really need more food, and so you have a bit more and a bit more, and before you know it, you're a full on sugar monster again.
I also think it's worth keeping a food journal. Not even for counting calories or grams of carbs, more that the act of writing it down makes you think "did I really eat that much today?" and gives you a prompt to be more careful.

Come on, are you seriously implying fruit is somehow bad for you now?
