Sugar...oh honey honey...
To quote the Doctor on Family Guy talking to Peter. "You're fine, you're just FAT"
My doctor basically said the same thing to me last week during a physical. That and I was also too tense, traveling too much, and too stressed. On the upside my blood pressure was great...but I am not holding out that my colesterol will be OK.
Anyway, he offer me drugs. I refused asking for none medical options and agreed to look into a Dietician or Nutrition Coach. While not covered under medical, I think this is a better route.
Until I get hooked up with a specialist, the Doctor suggested that I avoid all sugar and white flour. So while I may have missed on the white flour, I have managed to avoid all sugar with the noted exceptions of sugar added to bread or sugar added as a flavor element in something like a sauce on Chinese food. There was a small mishap with Bar-B-Que sauce, but I limited the amount that I consumed.
No cookies, no cakes, no ice cream, no granola bars, no candy. So far 5 days. I am shooting for two weeks.
