Raw honey is sugar.
"Honey is sugar-rich nectar collected by bees from a wide variety of flowers. Fructose is the main sugar found in honey, followed by glucose, and sucrose. The sweet taste of honey is attributed to its higher fructose content, and fructose is known to be sweeter than glucose or sucrose. Honey is about 17% water."
Refined or artificial sugars are more the problem. Just eating some grapes, molasses or honey isn't that bad for you. The exception appears to be diabetic, pre-diabetic or anyone else with insulin problems (fat people).
My eating schedule looks like this: I eat one meal per day at about the same time six days per week. It consists of a glass of milk, a two scoop whey protein shake and somewhere around 1200 calories of mostly protein. The other day I eat nothing until that same time, but this time I eat whatever I want (or drink) until I fall asleep. This alone is enough to yank my insulin levels down (which is how you lose weight) and would easily work for anyone else. I'm officially down 100 pounds as of last week. I never stopped eating sugar. I eat pretty much whatever I want but I do try to keep the carbs nice and low on the six days per week I fast.
I've also done a few 36 hour fasts. I'd highly recommend it even if you don't consider One Meal A Day. This is all you really need to counter the insulin spikes from eating shitty sugars.
100 lbs...Bravo! Insulin sensitivity is one of the biggest keys to the kingdom. Kickin' the sugar habit and Extended and/or Intermittent Fasting are the healthiest way to get and stay there. OMAD obliterates the "hunger" ghrelin jones/insulin junkie cycle. "Yo man, come on man, I suck yo dick fo' a jelly donut! Jus a taste. Jus lemme get summa dat suga' man!"
You've got it. Insulin spikes after you eat, especially sugars/carbs. You can reverse this process by not eating for long enough, ketosis. The main factor in weight reduction is Insulin and Cortisol. There's lots of ways to reduce the both of these, but I think you'll find that some of the best ways to reduce Insulin is through limiting carb/sugar intake, fasting and being more active. As for cortisol, a good night's sleep, physical activity, adaptogens and fasting. There's a lot I do for the fitness side too, but this is more the nutrition/endocrine part of it.
Obviously.
I ordered some Honey the other day. It was supposed to be a special honey that gets you high but the brand I got clearly wasn’t. It was still good though.
Killer bees.
