Its getting easier
and easier. Everyday, I try to find more and more ways to reduce the amount of sugar in my diet. As Dr. Oz said, "There is no such thing as a little sugar". As everyone knows, or should know by now. Sugar causes, heart disease, weight gain, Diabitees, stroke, and many other things not yet diagnosed. And its in everything, from Pasta sauce, to creamers, and things you wouldn't even suspect. SO the other day, on one of my low sugar and caffeine days. My wife called and offered to get me a dessert from Steak and shake. Ofcoarse I could not refuse. So she brings home a salted caramel shake, with all of the trimmings. I quickly devoured this shake, warning myself, that if I ate it all it would equal a pound or two the next day. But I learned an even deeper lesson as I stepped into the shower............When I got in and the water was whirling all around me my hands becamse softer and softer, and my sense of touch more numb, and unresponsive. As I kept showering applying soap to different places I realized I was on sugar overload. That's right, my body had begun, based on the reduction to this white powdery masterpiece, started to change the way I (my body)responds to sugar. I wsa in a haze! And I though wow this is crazy. But I learned several things that faithful night.
1.Sugar desensitized
2.It spikes the blood stream
3. It distorts taste
4.The body becomes a slave to it
5.The mind makes sugar its clock
6.And to stay away from it late at night
When useing sugar on a regular bases, it causes the body to crash. When useing it every once in a while it throws the body into overload. And tries to cover all sensations, and thinking by overload. Sugar has always wanted to be the master of the domain, instead of a court jester playing to an empty theater.
