Sugar - The Bitter Truth
I watched this hour and a half video on YouTube today because someone here in the community suggested it. I had been talking about seeing something that said that sugar is NOT addictive and I was saying that even if it wasn't it felt like it was this weekend because of the doughnut cravings. I was saying that I felt like I was on crack and I needed a fix. LOL I was directed to this site. I couldn't get the video to play on the site (not the a site issue but a laptop issue for me) but I could on YouTube so I've linked to both. Anyway, this site talks about how sugar is addictive and is like a drug with withdrawals and cravings. Hmmm. Got my attention.
The video is very technical in parts (physics) but I was able to hang with it so anyone should be able to. ;) It's amazing what this man has to say. It's given me a whole new perspective on sugar. If you watch it let me know what you think. I also looked up the Paleolithic Diet Plan. It's also very interesting. I found this site that explains the diet and gives sample shopping lists and a meal plan. It's something I may look into slowly implementing while I am on WW. As for the Sugar video:
He explains, among other things:
I really would be interested to know if anyone watches the video or checks out these sites what your opinion is. NO wonder Raquel looks so good! LOL

He explains, among other things:
- Why sugar is the primary cause of obesity in both children and adults, and where we get most of the sugar in our diets.
- The connection between sugar and high blood pressure, diabetes, cardiovascular disease, liver disease, insulin resistance, and more.
- Why some calories make us fat, while other calories don’t – which also means that everything we’ve been told about dieting and losing weight is wrong.
