But the abstinence from refined sugar--oh my, it's huge, the difference it makes.Sean Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07973189725254566966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-34042457847932752952016-05-22T18:26:10.255-05:002016-05-22T18:26:10.255-05:00I haven't been reading blogs as much as I used...I haven't been reading blogs as much as I used to, but it's nice to see you're still going as strong as ever!

I haven't been abstinate as long as you, and for other reasons entirely as I don't think I have an addiction, but my sugar levels were getting a bit high and diabetes runs in the family.So I made the decision to cut out refined sugar, and grains, (as they metabolize to sugar in the body) and I have great blood glucose counts,as well as dropped another 20 lbs in almost no time at all. I've lost several inches from around my waist, and feel better than I ever remember feeling.Once you get started, it's really not hard at all and you don't get the cravings like you once would.It wouldn't be detrimental to me if a little sudar got slipped in there accidently, but I am very careful to read lables. It really is just an adjustment you have to make and it is well worth the effort!Connie4933https://www.blogger.com/profile/00278102140419511894noreply@blogger.com
