I eat a ton of sugar and I have abs, sugar isn't your problem, you're eating too many calories.

It’s all calories in vs calories out. If u only have a small belly, that means ur in a slight surplus of calories. If u normally eat 2 plates of food at a buffet, eat only 1 with a extra salad if u want. I doubt the buffet food u eat is healthy, so getting rid of one entire plate full of butterfly shrimp will eliminate 1000 calories of ur total meal. Very useful for staying in a deficit.

It’s not even a beer belly

If you’re okay with your physique; then there’s no reason to change your diet. That said;

”No man has the right to be an amateur in the matter of physical training. It is a shame for a man to grow old without seeing the beauty and strength of which his body is capable.” - Socrates

Have you never wanted to test yourself? To see what you’re capable of? Personally that’s what drives my programming. Nutrition, discipline and health are bonuses to achieving that end.

I rarely have sugar anyway but when cutting I go completely sugar free 6 days a week. Sundays off. When bulking I limit but don’t go out of my way to cut sugars.

i can’t resist

You WON’T resist. It’s a choice. Personally I steer clear of most processed sugars. I eat a lot of vegetables and fruit instead. If you need that sugar fix but want to start small; simply leave a lot of fruit lying around. Apples, bananas and pears are good for this. Simple and easy to leave at work, home and gym.

Godspeed and good luck!

How much drinking do you do?

Figure out your maintenance calories with appropriate macros and focus on clean eating at that level strictly. You’ll notice a lot of cravings go away.. A mistake a lot of ppl make is going into deficit at the same time they start eating clean and it backfires. Once you have maintenance figured out it’s easier to cut a few things for results

I don't want to go for abs

Not into hot women?

Sweeten stuff with honey, it's actually good for you

Eat fruit. The fibre slows your insulin response

Take ashwaganda for stress, and start breathing exercises and meditating

Eating sugar actually makes your gut bacteria demand more sugar. You don't actually want sugar, but your guts do

Just thought I’d mention BMI isn’t necessarily a good indication. According to my BMI, I’m overweight but in reality I’m just jacked.

NoTimeForWar · 2020-09-15T20:51:52+00:00

Eating sugar as a response to high stress certainly isn’t a bad thing. Where the sugar comes from may be. I’d just recommend eating sweet fruit as a replacement to conventional sweets. Personally sungold kiwis are my favorite
