Note ... "the most biggest increase".
Call me the nutrition nazi or whatever ... but just make sure you enjoy life while you can should you allow yourself to eat poorly.

I too can't imagine a life without chocolate. Which is why I always keep a box of these at home:
A when I want chocolate I eat one or two squares - slowwly - they are sooooo good. Years ago I made myself a very firm promise not to ever deny myself chocolate - I eat it, and enjoy it. And since I trust my promise - I never binge on it either.
One square weighs 2.5 grams.
Delicious.

I'm basically trying to corroborate experience - if others are having trouble with sugar, it would help me know what to look for.
Sounds to me you are looking for an excuse to carry on with your bad eating habits.
Sugar is bad ... nothing good about it!
Sonic is bad ... nothing I know of good about it either.
Shakes are bad ... nothing good about those.
Whopper malt balls are bad ... need I say more?
Having all bad those things together ... hopefully you will corroborate that your eating habits are killing you slowly ... just like untreated OSA does.
Best wishes.
YEAH, but let's not forget that CHOCOLATE is a vegetable!

Babette, I think you may have touched on something. Shakes have lots of dairy product - I won't call it dairy because it's so freakin' processed you can't call it real dairy. I bet it's the dairy.
So now we can all go back to eating sugar - DOH!

Okay, okay, OKAY. I didn't mean to officer, honest. Actually, I was on the road for six hours and wanted comfort food. This is not my usual MO. We are sushi freaks. We eat healthy whatsits for every meal. My morning breakfast consists of a 10 oz. spirulina smoothie with blueberries, bananas and pecans or walnuts every morning. We eat a sensible lunch. We don't always eat desert. I suspect it's the dairy. I used not to be able to eat it at all.
And sometimes, it's the snacks that get me - usually rice crackers. Oh yeah ... and chocolate.

Technically the processed seeds come from fruit and are mixed with sugar and fat solids (as in saturated milk fats or tran-fats for the cheap stuff).
