Hi Anton, thanks for stopping by and leaving your comment

That’s a fantastic result, CONGRATULATIONS!! It’s amazing what can happen when you cut out sugar, right?! Yes I think man is the only creature who does that. Your comment reminds me of a great saying by a researcher named Barry Groves, he said “Man is the only creature smart enough to make their own food and the only ones stupid enough to eat it”. Isn’t that a classic?!

I never thought I was overweight at 6 feet, weighing 192 lbs. I gave up sugar, and, after a little more than two months, I am at 172 lbs, which is around my high school weight. I have no intention of going back to sugar, except for the sugar found naturally in fruits. By the way, is man the only creature who adds sugar to food ?

Anton.

I’m 100% with you on that one Brandon. Fiber helps our body in so many ways and one of the main obejectives with people I work with is to get them eating at least 5 serves of veggies a day. It helps with appetite, blood sugar regulation not to mention delivering bioavailable vitamins and minerals. Fruit juices are just injecting your body with sugar and provide no value whatsoever, something I wrote about recently here http://goodfoodeating.org/2100/juicing-for-health/

Researchers have also shown that artificial sweeteners do increase appetite and contribute to conditions such as obesity and diabetes, something we are not commonly told trhough main stream health channels.

Thanks for your comment and I’m glad you’ve worked out what’s best for you

I recently gave up sugar and artificial sweeters, and so far I feel better and have lost some weight. I don’t believe the conspiracy theories about artificial sweetners, but I do think that they are harmful for another reason: they increase appetite by discouraging the eating of fiber. I believe a causual link will be found between obesity and BOTH sugar and artificial sweetners. My personal experience is that when you cut yourself off from “artificial” sources of sweetness – both table sugar and the fake stuff – you are less inclined to eat fruit. My taste buds go crazy now at the taste of a banana or apple – they didn’t when they were getting a constant influx of real and fake sweetness. More fruit means more fiber – fiber is filling and causes you to eat less. It is for this reason that I believe the focus should be on ridding the diet of all non-fiber sources of sweetness (including juices).

It’s definitely not just eating too much Sarah, the quality of our food is far more important

THANK YOU for emphasizing the health costs of sugar! Too many people think our health problems are just about eating too much, and miss the fact that sugar is simply toxic. It’s in all sorts of food you wouldn’t expect, and our government only makes things worse by PAYING for its production with corn subsidies.
