1. Sugar is a poison. This is overly-simplistic and reductionist, but it's not entirely untrue. Get rid of sugars, refined and otherwise. From diabetes to Alzheimer's, its negative effects cannot be overstated. 2. CICO is important, but those who say it's the only thing are simply wrong. If you replace the calories you get from sugars with the same amount of calories from fat/protein, you will lose weight. 3. Intermittent fasting is hard at first, but you can do it, and it works. It's much easier once you no longer have sugar withdrawals, so if you do try intermittent fasting then make sure you take a few days beforehand to let the moodiness/jitteryness/etc. pass. Sugar is a drug. It takes time to detox.
