Gave up all processed foods.....no more grain or sugar (miniscule amounts of honey in my tea) and my chronic pain disease and skin disorder (Psoriatic Arthritis~a form of rheumatoid arthritis with the added blessing of psoriasis!) have virtually disappeared!
Also lost 40 lbs since August '11.
A drastic change in lifestyle, but worth it for the ability to function everyday!
I was a big time carb-o-holic and sweet eater......with a myriad of health issues.....Leaky Gut being the point of origin for them all.
I don't miss the sweets....but boy I miss baking (and eating) those Big Fluffy Homemade Rolls dripping with butter! LOL

Has anyone read anything about the connection between poor sleep and ice cream and sugary confections? Supposedly there is a study out there that says that the worse you sleep the more you crave sugar. ????

Did I really need to see that picture when I had just finished a Blizzard from Dairy Queen? And with all the added candy in a Blizzard, I probably consumed twice as many sugar cubes!!

That's no sugar at all, no wonder I feel like I need a pick up. Making myself a cup of fresh brewed tea, adding a little milk and an equal packet. Of course, there are no cookies, cake, etc. around to eat and that's why I've been so good, LOL! What I really would like is one of those MacDonald's Mocha Frappee drinks, wonder if they still make them during the winter. May in Jersey

I dont eat a lot of sugar really. I don't eat candy though, maybe once a week I'll have some chocolate. I have a Pepsi once or twice a week if that. I do drink loads of Arizona Ice Tea though. My bigger problem is salt!

ok, i confess! this is not usual, BUT last night i went to w-m for oreos for my dh. while there i couldn't help but notice a large display of special edition birthday oreos! these oreos have butter creme frosting in the center with little confetti sugar bits! i've almost finished the second bag, and it's 2:30 am, just over 26 hrs from opening the first bag. soooo i would say i probably have enough sugar in me to start a candy factory. whooops! am i bad!!!
