Re: Sugar ..Try this 10 day challenge you may be suprised..
Why not just eat only fresh foods and stay away from just about all processed foods. Is it that difficult?
 This seems to be more of an American problem (I am not attacking the US here, please understand - this is an honest question)... I have not been to the US in five or six years, but isn't it possible to go get your ingredients at a local farmers' market and cook your own food at home? I go to the supermarket/markets near my home after work, buy fresh what I intend to cook for dinner for 1~2 days, then cook and eat it. And repeat. And I am not faced with a serious sugar problem (I am more challenged by pasta, actually!).

Re: Sugar ..Try this 10 day challenge you may be suprised..
Bingo, Pete. My wife and I eliminated refined sugars from our diet and it was quite easy actually. The biggest key is to eliminate processed foods and drinks. If you read the ingredients of something and sugar is in the top 5 ingredients (that includes HFCS, maltose, dextrose, etc.) then don't put it in your cart. Don't buy any juice that says "100% Juice". The other key is to not make it a religion. We still have the occasional treat. Also practice moderation. A teaspoon of raw cane sugar in your coffee or on your oatmeal is not gonna kill ya. When I shop, I spend most of my time in the produce section and the staple aisles. The rest of the store I just skip. And my personal opinion is that diet soda is just as bad as the sugar-syrup stuff and don't drink either except for the occasional cola during a really long, hard ride. It really is just common sense. I will admit to one vice tho - Annie's Cheddar Bunnies. OMG!!! |

 In the summer I deal with it better - I simply ride more and harder. Winter is more challenging for me because of the problem with daylight cutting into riding time.

Re: Sugar ..Try this 10 day challenge you may be suprised..
while your post is well intended, the key is moderation. a little sugar here and there will not and its damaging effect on the human body. Again, as others have mentioned eathing a fresh diet will curb refined sugars and sodium levels.
good luck everyone. and juice! |
