Article: Sugar During Rest Increases Obesity

So drinking soda while playing Xbox is worse for me than drinking soda while working or lifting. Isn't that just common sense?
 
Not necessarily....one would think if the calories consumed were equal and the work output was equal then there would be no difference between the groups.
 
I'd like to know exactly what they determined as 'active period' and what hours of the day it was, or if that was controlled for. Could make a big difference in pre/post/intra exercise nutrition.
 
This article is fairly incomplete and doesn't tell us much. bomcgraw showed us that. And they mentioned nothing of their experiments with saturated fat (so why bring it up?). I think the idea here is sugar = sugar no matter what but if you drink soda while running around it's not as bad as drinking a Slurpee watching Family Guy. Captain Obvious strikes again!
 
Its basically saying that consuming sugar during active times (during excersise) is best than consuming sugar products any other timep; at the desk, watching tv, ect. They have to be vague because its still a study and people take things to literally and if it doesnt work they blame them others for it. It sounds obvious to some but as a trainer there are alot of people who dont think that way they figure oh i worked out so i can do this and this and it wont be bad for me.
