> i’m confused why you considered this healthy? Ha, indeed :) I admit I was completely oblivious to what carbs, proteins, fibers, and fat do to your metabolism. I thought controlling weight was enough. I was in the healthy BMI range, and had stopped eating added sugar a decade ago, so in my mind I was a role-model for eating "healthy". Whatever I was doing, it must be working, right? Then my annual check-up pointed that I was entering pre-diabetic terrain... That's what prompted me to go on a journey and discovering that it's not (just) about the weight -- what you eat matters. You need to understand what fiber/ protein/ fat/ carbs do to your metabolism, the role of insulin in controlling your blood sugar levels, that sugars are sugars, irrespective if they come in a slice of chocolate cake or a dried mango (ofc aside from fibers/vitamins), etc. Understanding more about glycemic spikes also helped me understand about sugar crash, cravings, the sequencing of food, effect of moving after eating, and more. I know this is all pretty obvious in hindsight, but it was a blindspot for me. It's incredible that it's not part of basic education for kids (at least it wasn't for me).
