I'd say to stay away from any sugar even artificial. Fruit is no good either, they're sugar bombs. Maybe an apple once or twice a week, but even eating too much fresh fruit can be bad. It's nature's candy meant to be eaten in moderation.

I was planning to do fruit in moderation anyway. It's just me and if I bought too much, id worry about it going rotten too fast. Though I could always stick excess fruit in the freezer. I think when I do start buying fruit I'm going to start with strawberries,blueberries, and bananas. Then peaches, pears, cantaloupe, honeydew melon, watermelon, pineapple, oranges.....*drools*

Thats like a banana on monday, and apple wendsday and a peach on Sunday. Lots of vegetables, lean protein and some grains. And do not drink anything but water and unsweetened tea or coffee. No milk, no diet soda, no juice and no alcohol except when you go out with your buddies on the weekend. I stick to this like a champ except for the alcohol.

What you are drinking is probably having the most impact on your blood sugar. Unfortunately thats just the way it is. Drink your water, son. And drink lots.

And I'm not a know-it-all, but I do know how to eat healthy as I've always done it. Now I just have to stop smoking a pack of cigarettes a day and drinking a case of beer out of misery. Eating healthy is probably all that is saving me.

Also no dairy, Clang. We are the only species on earth to consume it after being weaned from our mothers. It's not natural. In fact alcohol is more natural. I like a beer cheese soup and a glass of chocolate milk like nobody's business though.

I do love my cheeses, milk, sour cream, ice cream, etc. If I can get this diet going, I plan to mostly eat healthy 5-6 days a week, with Saturday when I hang out with the guys being my cheat day. But all in all I like your suggestions. Just might make a few minor tweaks.
Potential future goal: Weight lifting. Six pack abs sexy Clang.

Only if I was getting ready to go to the electric chair. What a couple of dopes that need some air. They only do that shit to be recognized by the other idiots that have no common sense.

She has Alopecia and she choose to have her head shaved rather than go through her life with bald patches all over her head.

I'm balding, so I usually do go bald or nearly bald. I think once i get off the blood thinners, I'm going to go for the bald look....all over.

Adele doesn't look like Adele anymore. She has lost a shit ton of weight and if her name hadn't been under the photograph I wouldn't have recognized her. I liked the overweight Adele.

I thought it was stupid and for show. People who have real problems don't air it for a bunch of strangers to see.
