It is down to ones metabolism we are not all the same.
If you work but don't have what I call a physical job you need to exercise.
I don't like folks telling me what I can eat or can"t eat, they don't know me.
Valid points Wrinkly. The moral of that story is, one must balance the energy you expend with the energy you take in. I don't personally believe you need to lead a particularly active life but if you have a more sedentary life you should have a low intake accordingly and thus what you do eat needs to have all the nutrition your body needs.
Sugar is an enemy because for most people who aren't particularly active, it WILL be quickly converted to fat if not taken with sources of fibre. For those vulnerable people who have already become obese, it's critical to understand where the sugars are and what they are doing to their mind and body, esp as they are less likely to be as active as fitter people.
Many such people are still massively uneducated about the effects of sugar on their body and where all the hidden sugars are. They are often miserable and find repeated failures when genuinely trying to diet and some of that is down to the sugar content in foods which they mistakenly believe are healthy imo.
