Unfortunately, there are people who abuse their diets everyday, but this would not be in a normal situation. This would be when something happens in our country, life is not normal, we can't just buy the junk we want and we need to survive. People will have to work hard, if not they will be the bullies (and if they are 'unhealthy' and overweight, how long do you really think they will last) or die.I wasn't including those with abnormal sugar metabolism. Most people do not have hypoglycemia. Those with it would know how to deal with it.
Sugar in processed form is nothing but empty calories that spike your insulin level and make your cells insulin resistant. As treats they wont matter much but too many people "sugar-up" every day, several times a day. Constantly spiking their insulin. The result can be both obesity (with all it's ills) or diabetes. Complex carbs are a far better choice to fill up on when meat and other foods are scarce than breads, rolls, cookies, cake and other junk foods.
I work and burn many calories throughout my normal day. I can only imagine if I had to burn more than I do now. Carbs can fill you and give you energy. I will continue to eat my redmeat that I have raised, slaughtered, processed, and put up, with veggies (including my potatoes) that I have grown, and the bread I make at home.
I can understand why you may be in a health kick thing, along with our government who thinks they can tell us what and what we can not eat or drink now days along with our children, but for a long term situation, people who have to get off their rears and not just come home from a sit down job to just sit down for dinner and watch TV, which is unfortunately the norm now days, may actually be forced to lose weight.
All carbs are not a bad thing. . . Just sayin.
