    Maybe you should read the labels of food and see exactly how much corn syrup is in damn near everything. There’s no feasible way to escape it and maintain a healthy diet.

      You must eat a crazy amount of processed and artificially sweetened food if you think HFCS is unavoidable.

      Regardless, you don’t get fatter in a calorie deficit and that is just a fact of science. Eat less or do more, pick one to start losing weight but both together are fastest.

      Don’t east processed food. If it comes in box or plsatic, it is likely processed.

      Produce, meat and carbs do need perp tho most of the time.

        You should really see just how much processing goes into the meats, produce and carbs.

        Factory farming predominantly uses nutritionally deficient grain and corn to quickly fatten up the livestock quickly, before slaughter and often quite extensive processing to keep the meat looking pretty and last longer.

        Produce is picked long before its ripe, and forced to ripen, which as a process, doesn’t let the produce develop the full capability of nutrition.

        As for grains all the nutritionally useful stuff is ground away for the nice white grains and flours we use.
