Sugar is often touted as the worst thing you can put in your body, but I refute that claim and explain here why it CAN be a part of a balanced diet if you consume it sensibly.
This is an educational video, I am not endorsing or advocating cocaine use. Here are some of the studies I spoke about at the end of the video: Consumption of Sugars, Sugary Foods, and Sugary Beverages in Relation to Cancer Risk: A Systematic Review of Longitudinal Studies

Effects of free sugars on blood pressure and lipids: a systematic review and meta-analysis of nutritional isoenergetic intervention trials

Relation of total sugars, fructose and sucrose with incident type 2 diabetes: a systematic review and meta-analysis of prospective cohort studies

Thanks for watching

He’s simplified things very well, yes.

@DaemonViews Год назад

He simplified the important part. I absolutely love how the body handles this stuff and got a biochemistry degree. Nobody else cares and also has no use for this information. One of the most difficult things is to explain a difficult subject in simple terms. Hence why you can piss of someone doing a PhD very easily by asking what his PhD is about. James explaining this difficult subject in terms everyone can understand is more difficult than explaining the details to someone studying biochemistry.

Watched my first James Smith video on 24/06/23 (40 days ago) and I have now lost 7Kg (just over a stone). All I did was only eat lunch and dinner, not eat after 19:00, did one 1hour walk a day and did some light dumb bell workouts. I still allowed myself one day a week to cheat and have a takeaway and some beer but didn't take the piss with it. I guess I created a CALORIE DEFICIT.

Obesity is not a cause of anything, it is a symptom of metabolic syndrome. I think this video omits a vital part of metabolism, namely how the liver cannot process the significant amount of sugars that some ultra processed foods impose on the digestive system.

My dad is skinny and caught type 2 diabetes. He had to stop eating sugar for a long time but after he stopped and gained back his insulin sensitivity he was able to eat sugar normally again.

@dynamicflashy 10 месяцев назад

Some don’t have the ability to create enough new fat cells to store excess energy. So the fat cells they have may keep them looking* slimmer, but without anywhere for the excess blood sugar to go, their chances of developing type 2 diabetes is increased.

@Blaster1713 10 месяцев назад

I love your vids. And what you have said is 100% accurate. But insulin resistance can also be caused by prolonged insulin spikes. If your spike lasts for more than 2 hours you probably have some insulin resistance, the longer the spike, the more resistance. Therefore, calorie deficit or not, if you have become obese and have insulin resistance, you can’t solely have a calorie deficit to manage the insulin resistance or fat loss. You need to manage your insulin spikes, and eliminating fast carbohydrates, or atleast limiting them drastically will have a positive effect. Just a slight bit of information you could have added for more clarity around the sugar/insulin discussion.

@gorilla723 10 месяцев назад

While in a controlled setting in which calories are accounted for we might not be able to see any impact of sugar, i think this video completely ignores the fact that refined sugar is one of the biggest triggers for peoples over-eating and over-consuming calories. It is said in the video in the beginning that its much easier to consume more calories through sugar: thats the problem.

@Disc0spider Год назад

Love listening to James' videos while I'm working. This video is such a simple explanation on things like sugar and insulin resistance. Honestly, I have some form of sugar everyday in food/drink I enjoy, but I also am maintaining a consistent calorie deficit as well as a balanced consumption of protein, carbohydrates, fat and fiber, while undertaking resistance training, judo training, and light cardiovascular exercise (walking my dog). It frustrates me when people claim that sugar is toxic, carbohydrates are bad, and that artificial sweeteners (like my beloved Pepsi Max) is poison... yet people have absolutely no issue with inhaling smoke (cigarettes) or binge drinking alcohol (a literal toxin) on weekends, while doing little to do no exercise per week. Anyway, great video.

@Paul9 Год назад

Great explanation James. I do avoid refined sugar where possible other than fuelling longer runs . My main reason for limiting sugar though is due to suffering with inflammation in my hands and avoiding sugar spikes when not exercising seemed to be the thing which helped the most.

@janetdavies1775 5 месяцев назад

Everything he said is correct. But he did miss one thing which collapses his whole argument. Sugar itself, particularly the processed type MAKES you want to eat. Which means if you have processed sugar you are UNLIKELY to be in a calorie deficit. Sugar is also ADDICTIVE. So it starts with a little here and there and then it becomes something you cannot say no to. Then you start eating in excess. Whilst I appreciate the truths in this video. Let us not lie to ourselves that sugar it is “ok”. It is something to be mindful of and manage. - a former 29 year sugar addict

@stephen4598 6 месяцев назад

Cool video, like the content. On the breathe in O2 and out CO2, you at least insinuated one of my cell biology professor's pet peeves. You made it sound like we breath in oxygen, cells use it and breath it out as CO2; but if you do all the biochem on that it makes no sense from an energy standpoint. Instead, O2 becomes metabolic water, that enters the blood and is urinated or sweated out. The CO2 we exhale is from the foods we eat getting digested in the cells (making energy in the Kreb cycle). His simplified way of helping us remember was: That you urinate our the oxygen that you breath in and exhale the cheeseburgers that you had for lunch.

If you're trying to lose fat as fast as possible and you're resistance training, it's still more optimal to not spike your insulin and shut off fat oxidation. You want to keep that fat oxidation going as much as possible and a lack of insulin spikes allows for that.

@sagniknath5537 Год назад

I think the main issue with processed sugary foods compared to regular carb sources like fruits is not so much the sugar content par se but the level of addiction the former engenders in the consumer. Look at the back of the food packaging of these sweets and the ingredients read like some sort of science experiment. It’s not just sugar, chocolate and some milk fats but a heck ton of artificial industrial compounds developed by food scientists who are incentivized to make the product as addictive as possible.

In terms of gut microbiome, it's fairly accepted that a diet high in fibre mitigates correlated dysbiosis from excess fat intake (35%+ of daily calories) and high protein consumption (20%+ daily calories) unsure about high amounts of sugar, but hope this helps.
