Sugar is Poison

While watching 60 minutes tonight, I viewed a story about how sugar is a poison. Yep. Seems that some doctors got together to research it, and they placed people in MRI machines to see the effects of sugar on the brain right after they injested it. The brains reacted the same as they would if they had injested cocaine or heroin. Sugar increases the release of dopamine, and the result is heart disease, cancers, diabetes, and more. Here's the video, and I urge you to watch it.

Boy, am I glad I quit putting all that straight sugar in my tea ...

From Various Nefarious Sources...

Eat every two hours or so... Handful of nuts, an apple. Not a Big Mac!

Eat first thing in the morning...whatever you can stomach.

Drink a ton of water, flavored or whatever.

If you exercise, you need protein to rebuild muscle.

Use Olive oil spray for oven baked food to crisp.

Vegetables aren't the enemy.

Use dried beans for a huge savings and less sodium.

Carry tea or other flavor packets in your pocket or purse for on-the-go water bottles - if you're allergic to water.

There is such a thing as eating too little.

I look better fat on the track than fat in McDonalds. :)
