Sugar alone does not cause weight gain; fat gain is driven by a caloric surplus regardless of the food source. Liquid sugars make overeating easy, but fruit remains beneficial due to its fiber and water content. Restricting treats entirely can trigger binges, so allocating up to ten percent of daily intake for treats supports long-term consistency.

Banning it is why the binge comes.5. See if the treats actually cost you. GainFrame. Throwback. 1 month ago. Then Mar 31, 26. Now Apr 25, 26. Weight +10 lbs gained. GF score +16 improvement.
