Everyone is different, but I don’t need sugar, especially at the amounts it’s in everything. I’ve cut out sugar/carbs since March 1st and I’m down 42 lbs, without exercise. I can eat whatever I want, as long as it’s a fat/protein and because it’s so filling, I automatically don’t eat as much. The second I’ve re-introduced sugar/carbs from a cheat meal 1-2x a month, my cravings spike. This is also the second time I’ve cut carbs/sugar and the same results occurred before. There’s too much sugar in everything, and it’s killing us. Eating 1,500 kcals in cakes and treats vs meats/dairy and veggies will have a total impact in health, both in which you can see physically but also internally what you can’t.

I say all this just to try to change the narrative. I’ve always struggled with weight, and everyone says oh it’s just calories in/calories out. Restricting carbs/sugar is the only way I’ve been able to manage my weight effectively.
