A couple of weeks ago I was feeling generally crappy and after thinking about my fuel intake, decided there was too much refined sugar in it and I declared war on the white stuff. In a nutshell I feel better but it sucks. There is sugar in almost everything.
I have even resorted to making my own ketchup because the second ingredient in the store bought stuff is, guess what? SUGAR. For mine, think salsa run through a blender with a few sweet white grapes and a shot of white vinegar. Tastes like crap on fries but not so bad on meatloaf.
The calorie counters will point out that fruit and juices have a lot of calories as well but this is a racist type diet war. I only hate white sugars.
I have lost a few pounds as everyone does when they change eating habits, sort of a welcome wagon diet gift. Part of that is the lack of desserts. I do occasionally indulge but a large pie now lasts more than a day.
Black coffee. Find a really good blend and learn to enjoy it commando. (The coffee, not you. Particularly at Starbucks)
All diets work for the same reason. They make you think about what you're eating. They fail because you get tired of the constant thinking.
