It's Rainy Day in Morgantown

Well, here it is Wednesday, May 12, 2010. It's my sister's birthday. Happy Birthday to her. I won't say how old she is. If she wants to tell, that's up to her.

I'm still doing well on the Belly Fat Cure. I feel better. Now I can recognize how crappy I felt while I was still on sugar. Several people left comments about how much better they felt after getting off of sugar—and how much more energetic they were. It's true people. Get off of sugar before it kills you.

It's been really rainy here for a couple of days now. Not the kind of weather you want to go out in. So it hasn't been good for walking. I do try to play with the doggies though. But they're both so big, it's hard to play with them indoors.

Not much else is happening.

Belly Fat Cure

I started Jorge Cruise's The Belly Fat Cure diet over the weekend. The premise of the diet is to limit sugar intake—by a substantial amount. You can get the book on Amazon for $11.66 plus shipping. 


According to Cruise, most American eat an average of 189 grams of sugar a day. His plan cuts that amount to 15 grams. His book supplies recipes and alternatives to eating large amounts of sugar. He says Truvia and sugar alcohols, like xylitol, are OK. Wikipedia says xylitol is a five-carbon sugar alcohol that is a naturally occurring sweetener found in the fibers of many fruits and vegetables, including various berries, corn husks, oats, and mushrooms. 


How do I feel? So far, so good. I went over 15 grams of sugar yesterday—I had about 40 grams. And I wouldn't have had that much but I ate some ice cream. I'm a sugaraholic. I went over but I cut way back. In fact, I probably ate much more than 189 grams of sugar daily. My guess is more than 200, maybe even 250 grams. 


Actually, I've been weaning myself off of the "stuff" for several days now. I haven't weighed myself, but I feel like I've lost a lot of fluid. So, we'll see what happens.
