- Avoiding Sugar Can Change Your Life28 January 2012, 4:32 pm
The countdown begins. Today is Saturday and Monday begins the juice fast/feast (depending on how you look at it).All those little bouts of purging sugar from my kitchen ended badly. I kept caving. How is it possible to go almost 3 years without sugar and then have this much trouble quitting again?My hope is that with 2 months of juicing I will know better than to dabble with sugar. If I play with sugar, it wins. If I abstain from sugar, I win.Quitting sugar changed my life once. I know quitting ... - Extreme Make-Over: From Grumpy & Frumpy to Juicing and Sugar-Free16 January 2012, 7:01 pm
My next endeavor is to juice stuff.The goal is to try juicing for a month or two and see how it helps with sugar cravings, energy, my sleep cycle and my weight (which has skyrocketed since moving to Texas--go figure!).My husband is on board with this, too. Amazing.We watched Fat, Sick and Nearly Dead together and when it ended we looked at each other and shared an ah-hah moment. We still have to do our research to see how this will be done, the health benefits/risks, etc. We're really not-knower... - Quitting Sugar, Again16 January 2012, 6:43 pm
2012 Re-Quitting Sugar from myyearwithout on Vimeo.It was easier to go without sugar for 3 years than it has been to give it up for a month at a time. The holidaze were the worst! I think people wanted to watch me feast on the white stuff. Every imaginable favorite dessert of mine was homemade and waiting for me when I returned to the northwest for Christmas. On the flight to Portland I turned down freshly baked chocolate chip cookies (Frontier Airlines) and ate from a healthy pre-packed lunch. ... - Oh Sure, Sugar's Not Addictive: I'm Just a Raging Zombie Having a BF!22 November 2011, 2:22 pm
I become a zombie robot when a sugar craving hits:1. Glassy-eyed and salivating, I venture into the kitchen and peek in all cupboards, the fridge and the freezer. I look behind cans, cartons and boxes hoping to find the perfect solution to my craving. Dried cranberries, prunes, naturally-sweetened cookies or even the perfect tea. If I'm lucky.2. Upon finding nothing that appeals, I exit the kitchen in hopes of distracting myself.3. Unless I've found something really engaging, I typically wander ... - The Pleasure of Temptation14 November 2011, 5:32 pm
(Cartoon resource www.aliveandyoung.net/2009/08/garden-temptations)My pattern is always the same: The mere thought of chewing on something sweet and I become orally fixated. Needy.Temptation.....I must put something sweet on my aching tongue or I'm convinced it will wither. I fantasize about donuts and ice cream and cookie dough for a second, and visualize going to the grocery store to buy whatever I want.Temptation....I ditch that idea and consider what's available immediately: A chocolate bar,... - Sweet Mother of My Sweet Tooth!5 November 2011, 4:25 pm
Okay, I'm on a roll. This is my third post of the morning.I'm frustrated at all of the latest sugar information I've waded through this morning: news articles about obesity, sugar addiction and beverage company lobbyists.Thing is, I went 3 years without eating refined sugar.I was superhuman.I couldn't fly, but turned down every cookie, cake, beverage, ice cream and morsel of sugar. Dang! That was then. Now I'm eating it again and all of my former issues (self-loathing, addiction, sugar blues, mu... - Big Soda Means Big Problems5 November 2011, 3:29 pm
Um, yeah:"Over the years, CSPI has documented how the sugary-drink industry has used ostensible philanthropic programs to burnish its image in the eyes of health officials and the public. In 2009, Coca-Cola made a six-figure payment to the American Academy of Family Physicians to underwrite “consumer education content related to beverages and sweeteners.” In 2003, the American Academy of Pediatric Dentistry took a $1 million payment from Coca-Cola."Here is the complete ar... - Video: Sugar Is Not Addictive At All5 November 2011, 3:10 pm

Ladies and gentlemen: The Nectar of Deceit.Are there still any agave advocates out there?As for what is happening in my life, I am about to be my own guinea pig again. Stay tuned for deets!... - Artificial Sweeteners versus Natural Sweeteners - A Mercola Article10 October 2011, 1:26 am
What I like about this Mercola article is that it lists/discusses the main culprits in the sugar world. This includes the most common artificial sweeteners and natural sweeteners.For the last few years I've really been excited about natural sweeteners, but after all I've researched and experienced I've concluded that the amount in which we consume them make the consumption of them not exactly natural.My latest bottom line (funny how this is constantly evolving) is that the healthiest natural swe...
