An article very worth reading

[garote]

Since reading this article, and ruminating on it a while, I decided to ramp my sugar consumption way down and see how it treats me. I have to say, it's been treating me well.

Though I already knew about the predominance of sugar in American food and its connection to an obesity "epidemic", I never thought about the nature of the connection. I assumed it was just a matter of volume. But it it's really a matter of intensity...

It's easier than you think ... just designate a day - Friday for example - to be "sugar day" and defer all your juice, soda, ice cream, candy, cookies, etc to that day.

Couple weeks in, you'll notice your enthusiasm for those things has dropped... and that regular foods that didn't taste interesting to you before, suddenly do.
