Why are Australians addicted to sugar?
>>
>>36957734

Cause Australians are gay.

FUCK ALL YOU ROO FUCKERS
>>
Ausfag here, for the average joe on the street who has 0 idea about nutrition it's literally impossible to avoid ingesting high amounts of sugar

>"healthy" fruit drinks with 50g of sugar in a serving
>bread that's laced with high amounts of sugar
>eating anything that's not vegetables or meat is pretty much asking for diabetes and dental decay
>>
People look at me like I'm crazy when I don't have sugar in my coffee

1)I don't need a teaspoon of sugar to make coffee drinkable, I actually like the bitterness
2)an extra teaspoon of sugar a day really adds up
>>
>>36957734
because everything has sugar in it.
>>
>>36957760
I keep track of the sugar I have during the day and try not to go over 6 teaspoons. 1 sugar in my coffee and a little bit on my weetbix.
>>
why do australians shitpost so much?

pretty much all food in non perishable eisle at woolies/coles has sugar in it. Even baked beans has about 3 teaspoons a can which doesnt seem like much but over the day it ads up after eating other foods.

Do you also worship Satan?

brown sugar as a treat on my weetbix only weekends. that was my absolute favourite thing! kinda fucks with my day if i do it now though
>>
>>36957760

Good coffee doesn't even taste bitter.

Generally, you anglos have absolutely shit coffee.
>>
>>36957806
yeah fuck ay i used to go hard on the weetbix n sugar, fuckin 8 weetbix how many do you do ya poof?
>>
>>36957760
I know this too well, I used to have 2 teaspoons of sugar for every cup and I go through 4-6 cups a day on average.

>>36958145
No sperg, it all depends on the bean, the roast and the grind as well as a multitude of other factors, its not that basic.
Also, people have different tastes on what is bitter or enjoyable, don't be that twat.

You're retarded, aren't you? What did I just fucking say. Anglos have really shitty coffee.

Most aussies are pseudo-/fit/.

That is, they do what they think is healthy without actually researching any of it. Lot's of juices, cleanses, subway etc.

When I first started out I thought I would get fit by eating more avocados and drinking juice instead of water, most Australians think pretty similar.

thats gay as fuck mate

Greeks and Italians bought their coffee culture over here when they mass immigrated. We drink what they drink except for that thick sludge some Greeks have
>>
>>36958180

Aussie coffee culture isn't really anglo. Its courtesy of the massive post-war immigration of Greeks and Italians (on top of the ones already here).

Also have fucking top quality PNG stuff.

blame our media

it's pants on head fucking retarded

It goes back to when the stupid "low fat!" fad of the 80s hit. They found that food tasted like shit when you took out all the delicious, healthy fat so they had to pump sugar into everything to make it taste good. Then we had a generation of 'dual income family' kids who grew up on shitty pre-packaged food filled with sugar, so now things need to be loaded with sugar in order to sell. I grew up in a house where we cooked everything from scratch, and things like pre-made pasta sauce, soup and frozen meals taste like sugary, salty shit to me.

pray tell cocksmith, what illiterate nation do you hail from?
>>
>>36958403
Yeah. They are all on bullshit diets and fads.

Lot's of fat girls in designer gym wear walking around with a boost juice in hand. Obese girl at work mixes protein powder with one of her meals to lose weight.

Yeah media has put a really bad spin on what is healthy in australia. It is a mess.

Walk into the supermarket and try shop healthy as a normie, you will make a million mistakes.

One of my favourite is "light" options for things like cheese, if you read the back of the packet, it's actually "light flavour".

Pretty much this.

Additionally our food industry is poorly regulated and we have a lack of education around good health.

Also fat fucks are able to free ride on the public health system. Including gastric banding, why would they eat healthy if they can get it fixed for free.
>>
>>36958643
I used to eat 12 weetbix every morning when I was 9

I wasn't even fat either I did like every sport and ran around all day

I haven't had them in fucking ages. I think the first thing I'm going to do after keto when I'm at 10% bf is have some celebratory weetbix

My mum was the opposite. I didn't have my first lolly until I was 8. the only time I had anything sweet was my birthday cake
>>
>>36958686
Same but because I was poor. Birthday cake was an "icecream cake", tub of icecream turned upside down and a smiley face drawn on in malteasers.

That shit is so cash. But fucking expensive. Bought mum a box for a special occasion and she didn't realise they weren't roses or some shit, handed em out to the ladies at St vinnies.

>>36957806
Use a vanilla or chocolate protein shake as your milk when you have weetbix

1. Extra protons
2. No sugar
3. Fucking delicious

not many people know anything about nutrition in Australia, it's hilarious the shit you come across
a friends "low carb" diet included a can of coke and donuts
it's gotten past the point of caring since they won't stick to the diets anyway
>>
>>36957743
Pretty much this
>>
>>36958841

If he's using a decent powder, the only significant amount of sugar is gonna be from the milk (maybe a gram or two if its WPC, less for WPI). And there ain't no sane man who eats his weetbix dry.
>>
>>36958855
there'll be sugar, it'll be called something else though

it's actually pretty baller how getting /fit/ here fucking jumps you up the social circles

there's hardly any competition and whenever there is one it's usually one of the pro-heavy lifters you see in supp stores anyway

Being a big cunt has its drawbacks anon, especially if you're into the nightlife.

>group of drunk cunts see you walking down the street

>they have no issue with sucker punching or stabbing you

they're always manlets too

>>36959887
Yeah, it pisses me off that sewer rats walk around being shitters to the night goers

>first world "country"

You couldn't be more spot on. My sister amd her bf's friends are all about that gay shit. Then my dad get's on the boat because of my sis and goes on the juice train and soon gives it up.

>tfw you can see your dad getting fatter each year, but he won't listen to your advice because he lazy as fark (still not as lazy as an abo tho)
