How many portions of fat and sugar do you need daily?

Answer 1

It may surprise you to learn that you do not need any sugar whatsoever! One of the best improvements you could possibly make in your eating habits would be to eliminate ALL processed (refined) carbohydrates. When digested, all carbohydrates become sugar.

It is much better for your body to use beneficial fats as fuel rather than sugar. If you eliminate all processed (refined) carbohydrates and limit your daily total intake of carbohydrates from other sources (such as, preferable organic, fresh vegetables and fruits) to less that 100 grams (unless you are on a low carb diet in which case it would be far less) you will do much better.

You should be getting up to about one-third of your calories from proteins, preferably from natural sources such as grass-fed beef, sockeye (wild) salmon, and cage-free, free-range, turkey, chicken and eggs. If you are limiting your carbohydrates as suggested, you'll be getting the bulk of the other two-thirds of your calories from fats, preferably organic natural fats.

It is best to eat a (small) protein-rich meal every three or four waking hours, and to drink plenty of water. If you eat this way, your body will begin burning fat rather than sugar, which will soon improve your body composition and your health status. However, do not change your dietary habits dramatically without the prior blessing of your physician or other health care provider.
