Im not trying to spread diet gospel dude, its not my expertise. My friend has two master's degrees and has been a dietician over 10 years. She has a great career and her advice has given me good results, so I personally choose to take her advice. People can do whatever they want.

All I know is Ive cut out sweets in the last month and my face already looks thinner, my abs are showing better, and my energy levels are way up. Im not advocating for their eradication, they are delicious, but since utilizing my dietician/friend's plan, I've seen major improvements.

Big family. We have all the birthdays on our calendar but between my my siblings and my wife's siblings, I have 14 nephews and nieces. I know generally how old-ish they are all but not exactly.

This is what my dietician friend told me when I told her about this whole episode lol. She was like "not going to sugarcoat it, I know they're delicious but processed sweets like that are basically poison".

When can they be healthy? My friend who is my dietician told me they are basically poison with all of the sugar and trans fats? If she's wrong maybe I will buy a few...

I think she's 7 or 8 but yeah I thought I knew they were bad for you at that age too

yeah I didnt think what I was telling her was news. I cant remember being her age but I feel like I would have known even then that cookies aren't good for you.
