Hi Everyone,
I need to tell you something. I am in the middle of a break-up. It has been way too long. She has been very sweet and I have dearly loved every yummy second with her. She has been part of many meals and numerous snacks. Breaking up is indeed hard to do! But it it has to be done. You see – she is ruining my health and this is going nowhere good.
You probably have figured out that I am not talking about my dear wife. No! The one I am breaking up with is sugar. All the added sugar that is such a part of the yummy foods that are just no good: juices, sodas, sweet drinks, candy bars, pastries, breakfast cereals, ice cream (the hardest of the bunch). They have given me neuropathy, high blood fats, a bulge around the middle, poor sleep, and unstable moods. If I keep going it will mean heart problems and worse. RIP sugar diet.
The literature and studies have convinced me. More than that – they scare the $@#& out of me. So – I am cutting the cord. No mas. A dramatic shift in the way I eat. Cravings are there. But it has to be done. One week in and the good results are already arriving.
How about you? Fatter than you want? Have numbness or tingling? Are you pre-diabetic? Blood work not so good? Don’t wait. Cut the sugar! This blog is for you.
Until next time – Will
