30 Days To a New You

[odanny]

This is worth trying for a month. If I can get motivated enough to stick with it then I'm sure I will have more energy and just feel better overall. Definitely a good thing to do in the winter, I think, and the sun will not be an option though.

So, how fat ARE you, dude, anyway?

If that basic regimen makes a person unrecognizable in 30 days, they must be an absolute mess.

it isn't bad advice just for generalized health.

The no sugar part is the key to everything.

Sugar is society's largest poison.

I didn't realize this most of my life.....even AFTER being diagnosed diabetic.

But yes, the shit is pure poison. Every bit as bad for you as smoking and just as addictive

That's exactly right.

My BMI is 25, the person who needs liposuction is you. I can see you are already looking into this.

How your broke ass is going to pay for it is another thing.

The no sugar part would actually be an extremely significant change for most people. Americans consume way too much sugar. It's fueling the obesity epidemic.

That and providing many a dentist with job security. Sugar left on teeth too long acts like tiny bugs scurrying away eating the enamel.

A friend of mine‘s son, when he was a preschooler, didn’t like brushing his teeth and would throw fits…. until his dentist showed him pictures of gum disease. He did a 180°!

It's not sugar per se but the sugar that isn't metabolized as fuel.

Don’t forget to decrease sodium. Eliminating added table salt from meals makes a big difference in blood pressure and water retention. Always been a much bigger struggle for me than sugars. I love salt.

I was able to conquer sugar. After being diagnosed as diabetic I had no choice.

But salt is so damn good!!!!! I just can't kick it.

Well sugar is more harmful over all when consumed in excess. So that’s good you beat it.

yeah, it’s hard to eat stuff like meat, potatoes, rice without salt. I grew up in a family where we even salted ham and canned soup so I’m used to salting everything.

trying to use only mrs dash right now. Once you get used to it it isn’t so bad. Like switching to diet pop.

You literally can't live without it.

We’re talking about added salt. If we eat any processed food at all, we’re already getting more sodium than we need in the food we eat.
