Still reading it.

Grilling veggies is good as long as you use olive oil. I've been getting fresh green beans, dashing a bit of olive oil on them and season them - - wrap them up in foil and grill - - yummmy!

We've always used olive oil ourselves, and do for almost everything. Of course we also add some salt, pepper, Cajun seasoning, garlic, a few habanero peppers. . . . .

Seasoning is fine -- I do however try to not use salt.

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.

And I thought you were now a 3-Stepper. Bummer!

High Fructose Corn syrup is in just about everything!

Have you checked into the harm of diet soft drinks as well?

LOL!

Yes, I gave up my diet Dr. Pepper about six months ago. It was one of the easier things. Drinking water and green tea mostly.

Amen!

All kidding aside, part of my reasoning for posting this is accountability too!

Right, and even though I use organic sugar, sugar is still sugar.

My husband made some jalapeno jelly the other day. Four 16 oz jars used 3 LBS OF SUGAR! The only reason he paid attention to that is because I held up the organic container, as he doesn't like spending the money, and said - this is how much sugar you put in those jars. He's been eating it every day. Gonna die young and make a pretty corpse.

Of course, all the paint related chemicals I get into, I could beat him to the punch - organic food or not.

We all have some vice, mine is caffeine. If I am not drinking coffee, I am drinking a cup of English Breakfast. Still only 3 cups a day, but 3 cups is too much for my body. I like the high I get. Just sayin'....

Accountability.... Hmmmm...that never means anything for me. I'm going to do whatever I am going to do, even if it hair lips the devil.

I also found, for me, any decision I make is like fasting. If I talk about it, I won't do it. If I keep it too myself, I keep on the mark. And that is the same as taking a break from AFF. If I say I am going to take a break openly, I usually don't. If I don't say anything and just take the break, I actually take it. But, that's just me. Don't know what that means about my personality. lol

Good for you!!!! I very rarely drink a soft drink, but when I did, I noticed that the diet drink would make me profusely hungry an hour or two later.

I was putting together a wedding shower Saturday before last and didn't have time to get something to drink. They didn't have filtered water in the facility and so I grabbed a Coke! I was sick for four days. Man, it sure tastes good when you haven't had one in a long while, but the after effects are horrible.
