Sugar

To become more sugar-aware, try this experiment: avoid all sugar for two weeks.  Eliminate sugar from tea and coffee, deny yourself chocolate bars and sweets, don't eat any honey and say 'no' to desserts.  After two weeks have elapsed, try eating a spoonful of white sugar - the taste will seem overpoweringly sweet and it should turn you off sugar for quite a while.

SugarBusters! Diet


Cutting sugar to trim fat. Sugar makes you fat; only by avoiding it, as well as foods that cause blood sugar to rise, can you hope to lose weight and keep it off.

Refined sugar, honey, white potatoes, white bread, beer, rice, pasta and corn are restricted.

Food Combining is recommended.  Eat fruits by themselves.

No calorie counting, no weighing foods, or calculating grams of carbohydrates on this plan.  No going back for seconds or thirds.  The portions needs to be balanced on your plate.

Too much sugar causes the body to overproduce insulin, a hormone that regulates blood sugar levels and fat storage.

By balancing the insulin-glucagon relationship in the body (insulin is a hormone produced by the body to lower blood sugar when it gets too high, and glucagon is a hormone produced by the body to raise blood sugar when it gets to low), you'll lose body fat regardless of your calorie intake.

This diet is based on low glycemic-index (GI) carbohydrates (those with the least effect on blood sugar levels), including high fiber fruits, vegetables, and whole grains; lean meats; and fats.

The lower a food's GI, the less effect it has on blood sugar levels and the better it is for weight loss.

Eating more fruits, vegetables, and whole grains will bring in lots of more vitamins, minerals, and phyto-chemicals (disease preventing compounds found in plant foods).

Physical activity is all but dismissed as a waste of time in the battle of the bulge with this diet.  Very little dairy is included in this diet.

Guess it really does not matter if you exercise if one is going to continue to stuff themselves with food high in sugar.  Sugar keeps us fat!!!
