It can be true. After antibiotics I lost so much weight rapidly. I can eat bags of sugar without gaining any weight. I can't breakdown fat at all so there is more to the story then sugar = weight increase.
It really depends on the bacteria we have in our guts.
- village-idiot 8y agoTo be fair, there’s reason to worry about sugar consumption above and beyond weight gain. Advanced glycation endproducts come to mind. Also, if you’re worried about your gut bacteria, know that excessive amounts of sugar are well known to affect you negatively in that area.
- SketchySeaBeast 8y agoIf you can't break down sugar or fat, what are you living on? You must eat a heinous amount of protein each day.
- village-idiot 8y agoHumans really aren’t efficient enough at gluconeogenesis to live off pure protein. It’s one of the reasons why that last chicken breast can become revolting, your body has the ability to declare a hard stop on protein consumption. Well, for solid foods. Turns out our brains don’t think liquid calories “count”, which is why protein shakes are a thing. They let body builders massively over protein themselves. That shakes are now a cultural thing for weight loss is absolutely hilarious to me.
- wolco 8y agoI eat a ton of fruit based sugar, plant based food and some protein. No matter how much dried fruit I eat I can't seem to gain a pound. Quantities like 400 grams of raisins.
- nradov 8y agoThat could be partially due to the fiber in all that dried fruit acting as a laxative.
