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...

My experience with Atkins was that it gets you used to eating less, and it sticks, if you give it a chance.

I don't recommend staying on it long term. I recommend realizing you probably need about half the food most Americans seem to be eating, and if you eat the RIGHT half, you stand a good chance of not being hungry enough to miss the other half.

The right half ... I'm guessing that doesn't include bacon cheeseburgers, does it... :D
