hi.Im a newbie here.
Im jaz wondering if HONEY is a better substitute for sugar?
im on cutting phase now..
or its no better..

Thanks a lot for those who will reply..

honey is good for you, but its still quite calorie dense, so yeah honey is better than refined sugar, probably any sugar

Honey has a GI of 87 as opposed to table sugar's 58, which in my book makes it a lot worse than sugar. What about honey makes you think it's good? Does it taste sweeter per kcal or?

A good sugar substitute is artificial sweeteners.

white sugar is refined natural honey is not.

i think too much emphsis is put on gi foods.

so in my book i believe that natural honey is 10x better for you than refined white sugar which after all is just empty calories

plus honey is naturally sweeter than white sugar therefore you will not use as much

How much ( table ) sugar do you currently consume a day ?

' Cutting ' is about tracking calories - perhaps opting for an artificial sweetener ( strictly from the perspective of cutting calories ) might be something worth considering.

COMPLETE AGREEMENT

and it goes great with natural peanut butter in a whole wheat pita bread wth hard boiled egg whites!!! Personal favorite mini-meal.

PROVIDED!! you are working out. if you just sit aroun and eat this stuff you will blow up lik a blow fish- i'd reckon anyhow!

i have 3 different seasons of honey, ever since this place gave me the accountabiltiy to ditch refined sugar.

Can someone explain to me why something being "refined" makes it worse than something "natural"?

It sounds like that property itself should make some difference, but isn't that just organic idealism?

The more it's refined, the less nutrients.

Honey is made up of sugar, sure honey has more nutrients than just normal white sugar. But it's still extremely calorie dense and contains alot of sugar even though its natural. Like Chillen said, if your not exercising it off you will blow up. Literally.

hahaaha

what is wrong with organic idealism? At some point i began to realize I, being the style i am, had to pick a side of the fence. i found that natural nutures purity, and purity strength.

along with that add complete tolerance for anothers ideals and you start to get some harmony.

the riff only comes when I go beyond "sharing" my thoughts with you and try to "change" your thoughts to mine.

OR VICE VERSA OF COURSE...
hheheehe

peace out

first off honey is not made up of sugar(sugar is a refined product you buy in a supermarket in half lb bags it looks like salt buts a little sweeter)they are 2 different things chalk and cheesee if you like.

by the way if you read the full post then you would know that flyinfree made that quote and not chillen but if i was on a sugar high i wouldnt notice either

I was gonna post a thread similar to this one, as I LOVE honey, ill just use this thread instead...

Every morning I have a full table spoon of honey with my breakfast (Cerial). is that okay or is it too much everyday?

just to let you know, i have an active job so i dont really sit around in a office or something.
