Loaded in sugar and trans fats-I’d say, yes, eating a doughnut really is that bad. However, I’m a realist. Opportunities will arise where a warm doughnut will be offered, and I will partake. To offset this as much as possible, I will pair it with some protein and make sure I’m super active the rest of the day.

Depends. Once a month, no. Once a week, kinda. Everyday? Definitely! Its not end if the world, if you give in to your craving one day. But just eating every tea/coffee time will add up real soon.

It’s not bad in and of itself ☺️ it’s always best - if you’re watching your snack habits or trying to eat healthily - to eat treats in moderation, and work it off in some way if you’re concerned. I have a desk job, so find an hours' walk a day makes me feel energised and happy that I’d have burned off at least some empty calories. Eating a donut isn’t bad, it’s what you do or don’t do after that counts ☺️

One doughnut? If you eat one ccasionally, then not really. If you have a healthy diet in general it’s not one that will ruin you. But you make a habit out of it... Yep, that’s not good..

Yes, it is bad, because it has simple carbs and a lot of sugar, that gives you immediate energy but drains you in a Long run

Depends really doesn’t it. Does it provide any nutritional value, none that I can think of. I don’t like to say food is bad or good, but white flour, white sugar and being cooked in oil is definately not good for your body.looking at it from an enjoyment level, if you enjoy a donut rarely and it brings you joy to indulge on those rare occasions, do it. I believe its better to not stress about everything you consume and live your best life.

It kinda is. The doughnut makes you feel happy for a short period of time and acts like it filled you up. When in reality it has nothing to keep you fueled until lunch. You’ll be hungry again in no time and have less drive then before.

I think the following quote applies to your question; "When we ask for advice, we are usually looking for an accomplice." If you want a donut, I wont shame you, eat one! butttt... Sugar you consume either gets burned off as energy or stored as fat (for winter 😝). If you don’t work off that donut you’ll carry it around with you longer than it took to devour that warm glistening golden ring of wonderfullness 🤤. Consider making it your hard earned prize after a brisk 2 mile jog at the nearest track or trail. Play a sport for an hour. Explore your neighborhood and maybe do a little off roading on a mountain bike. Try to minimize the potential impact of donuts on you body and waistline if you can. We all deserve a treat once and a while, even you! Don’t feel guilty. Just remember that once the donuts in your belly, you decide where it goes from there! P.s. don’t forget the sprinkles! 😉

No, eating one(1) doughnut isnt bad. It is never about one thing that makes the difrence it is the fact that if one doughnut is okay you can easialy think that skiping exersising is okay too and sleeping late and before you know you have gave up on your goals and you wont get anywere beside that sugar is adicting so be strong eat an apple instead and good luck becoming a better you😘

Yeah. All that sugar and carbs really isn’t good for your body although it may taste good. Without providing nutrients, your body puts in a lot of work to digest it and is drained afterwards. Hence the sugar crash. Treat your body better than that.
