I'm not sure if you have a question here Fred, but they do have a point. This being the fact that juices, which are low in fiber, are less filling than whole fruits, which contain more fiber (still relatively low, but that's not the issue). The result being, as indicated, that you can drink more than you can eat. Ultimately it's about energy intake and output. If your intake is higher than your output, you will gain weight, and vice versa.

mercola is highly against sugar... but i guess if balanced with fat and taking in small amounts through out a day, its perfectly fine? this stuff gets confusing, like today i felt completly spacy/cold/off. i dont know why, maybe more fat

There's nothing wrong with sugar. Common sugar, called sucrose or saccharose, consists of fructose (or 'fruit sugar') and glucose. Both are used, are needed, by our bodies for energy. The more (muscle) energy you use, the more sugars you need.

hmm yeah maybe so but how comes everyone talks about the dangers of sugar?

People associate a lot of dangers with a lot of things, some of which are true, and some are not. Which dangers are you referring to? Health? Obesity? Teeth?

i guess general health, i always thought by eliminating sugar you could get clear skin but i guess not...

If we're talking general health, I guess it means blood sugar level ie insulin use, with possibility of diabetes. Read this article.

i guess the hardest part about this diet is just really listening to your bodys energy needs and constantly taking in energy?

I can give you a similar list for cholesterol, but just think of it for a minute:

Sugar is our primary source of energy. Does it make sense to you that our natural primary source of energy is both our lifeline (the brain shuts down when too low in sugar) and bad for us?

And does it make sense to you that natural cholesterol could be both bad for us and be composed by our own body?
