Can anybody relate?

I don't think I was this bad, but in my teenage years I was pretty bad. I still have my moments, but nothing nearly like this.

THIS IS SO TRUE!!!!!! IT IS A DRUG! CRAZY CRAZY DRUG!

Hi Everyone:

I haven't eaten anything sweet in just about a month now.
Just wanted to say that it can be done.
I havn't missed it too much.

Yes, I can definitely relate.
For me sugar substances are very addictive.

As are breads. It's true.

MJ good for you! That is wonderful.

I make huge efforts to replace refined sugar and complex carbs with fruit. If I eat enough fruit I'm pretty good with it.

awesome vid... little boy made me cry!

Thanks ME - I know, me too! Poor kid.

I think too, with the seasonal flues and all the sinus and other kinds of infections going on, it's a good idea to release our refined sugar consumption way down. Refined sugar is really bad for our immune systems. Have fruit instead of something sweet, I know easier said than done, it has to be a really yummy fruit, like a juicy pineapple or a crisp seasonal apple.

Here is an awesome recipe for my "Ruby Jewel" which I love to make this time of year, as pomegranates are in season!

2 Ruby Red Grapefruits, freshly squeezed
1 Pomegranate

Remove the arils from the pomegranate.

You can do this by cutting off the top and bottom and then slicing away sections and putting them in a bowl of water and gently pulling them away from the rind.

Then remove any membrane/rind that rises to the top and just strain out the water - you'll be left with a beautiful bowl of glistening pomegranate arils!

Place the arils (save a few for snacking on, they are so delicious) and the fresh squeezed grapefruit juice in a blender and blend well, then strain out the seeds through a strainer.

You are left with the tastiest, sweet-tart juice - a Ruby Jewel!

Warning - don't wear white!

Sugar is a "super drug"!!

Once I cut WAY down on sugar, I started feeling a lot better and calmer.
