PO - I'm Converted Now
 
I've been reading Jorge Cruise's book - The 100 and I'm convinced that sugar is a toxin.

I'm a carboholic, so it has been very hard for me to accept the fact that sugar is bad, bad, bad for me. However, after reading this, I'm convinced that I have to get sugar out of my life.

I know that you've lead they way and said for years that it's a toxin in our system and I chose to ignore it. I mean all those gorgeous desserts we make are satisfying to the eye and palate, but they are killing us!

I hope to continue learning and make some serious life changes. It's so interesting to read and understand the history behind refined flour/sugar and how it was introduced into our lives and changed us for the bad.

Lol -- I'm a long way from that, but I am enjoying my fruits and veggies. Problem is many fruits have sugar in them too, so you have to control that too.

Just my only sugar intake (and it is big) are the 2-3 cans of coke I have a day, other then that I am NOT a big "sweets" eater. When we go out (or even eat at home) my attitude has always been that if I am still hungry enough to eat dessert, it means I haven't had enough of my main entree.

I'll take a merely good filet mignon over the worlds best pie or cake any day. :)

When I go out to eat while trying to decide what to order, I'm eating the bread and checking out what they have for dessert.

The closest thing to bread pudding I will ever put in my mouth is french toast. LOL

seriously my suger intake is very small.

I drink about 3 cups of coffee a day, each has less than a teaspoon of suger.

I have had peach cobler and bread pudding this week but before that it has been more than a month since i have had ANY desert of any kind.

I may drink a regular coke once in two to three weeks. Sugar is not my issue. Eating too much other stuff however...
