Also, Lustig's "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" has been soundly debunked as nonsense.

Here's some reading for you: http://www.alanaragonblog.com/2010/01/29/the-bitter-truth-about-fructose-alarmism/

^^Really? I didn't know. I'll look into it. In the mean time, I still want to kick the refined/processed/artificial sugar habit for my own sake. I'd like to see what impact it'll have on my weight and well-being altogether. I did break down and have one madeline cookie today though *sob* :sad:

Now if the purpose of this thread was to challenge people to eat healthy carbs (fruit, veggies, unrefined whole grains, and naturally starchy veggies/fruits I can stand behind that. But the real problem isn't sugar. The real problem is you are all self medicating your stressful life with sugar, alcohol, cigarettes, sex, drugs, internet, porn, gambling, excessive reading, and other self stimulating behaviors. They call this "self medicating" so you don't have to deal with uncomfortable feelings. I say this, keep a journal about your life and write in it frequently. When you have a healthy relationship with your feelings you won't be addicted to things like junk food any more.

How is the Ketosis diet working for you!?

I have hijacked a thread about quitting something vital to the body (in moderation) and offered a new perspective to what the problem is. But I will fade away and let this thread do it's "sugar is evil" rage. Just heed my warning, if you eliminate an addiction without providing some form of coping strategy in it's place, you'll just be addicted to something else.

Are you a therapist?

No. That is why I apologized. Please ignore all my comments. I just want to be left alone.

I really think you need to see someone, honey. In all seriousness.

Can I join too? I've been trying to avoid processed sugar as well (although I've had a backslide or three :blushing: ). Someone on one of the topics on here posted something about Dr. Lustig's "Sugar: The Bitter Truth" on Youtube. I recently saw the video and have been trying to cut out the processed sugar stuff since!

Thanks I'll be checking this out. For myself if a food controls me then that's the one I need to chill out on until I get back a bit more control.

I'll check out the vid, thanks for the suggestion. Also there was a book someone mentioned but can't find the reference now...

It's the simple carb cycle I'm looking to learn to get off of, fruit doesn't have that same effect on me, it may on some, it doesn't on me.
