I cannot stress enough how important it is to stay the hell away from anything that has sugar in it.   To be honest, I’m not so crazy about the organic “evaporated can juice” ingredient either that is found in some organic foods.  Although it’s not refined, it’s still sugar.   Here is a very informative article about sugar.  Read it.  And then you’ll see what I am getting at.

Ya know, it is tough shopping sometimes.   I barely even go through any isles of the grocery store anymore these days because 90% of the food items there have either sugar, corn syrup, or high fructose corn syrup in them.  If it happens not to have any of those, then it is always a refined or processed food product using that refined flour crap which is just about as bad.   My shopping has mainly been restricted to the produce section of fruits/vegetables, the meat section for chicken breast, salmon, or steak, and the organic food section if I can find any kind of organic coconut/fruit juice that is absolutely pure with nothing added and NO evaporated cane juice.   On a side note, I’m not completely 100% against the evaporated cane juice (organic raw sugar) because at least it hasn’t been refined and hasn’t been stripped of its nutrients.  Although it can still put the pounds on ya, it is probably easier for the body to digest and deal with.   At some point in our lives we might have to celebrate a birthday with a cake or something, so on those occasions I would choose a good organic cake mix with probably organic cane juice.   On those occasions, I think it’s ok.   It’s not going to kill ya.  But for the most part in my daily life, I stay away from the stuff.

I’ve definitely had first hand experience of what sugar can do to the human body.   Back when I first got out of college and I was living in my cheap one bedroom apartment, ( I was so dumb back then, Ha) Ithought it would be such a great idea to make kool-aid and drink the stuff by the pitcher every day because it tasted good and it was so cheap to make.  Pennies per gallon.    I thought it wouldn’t make me fat because it was liquid.   I eventually quit drinking it because every time I drank the stuff over several days, my belly got very noticeably fatter.  I was absolutely confused how a liquid could do that.  But now I know.  Good ol’ sugar. 

So basically, when I eat, or go shopping for food, I see all food products with sugar as a drug.  Literally.   I see it as a way for the upper elites to make money off of us and stimulate the economy to keep Wall Street going and climbing.  It isn’t good for you, does NOT need to be in our food chain, and it can ruin your dreams of being fit.  Physically and Mentally.  I don’t know about you, but I feel like crap when I drive down the road in my car and my belly shakes with each bump I hit in the road.   That’s when I knew it was time to do something, and I did.   It’s going to take plenty of time to get my six pack of abs, but my belly no longer shakes when I hit the bumps in the road, and once again my pants are fitting looser around my waist.   You don’t have to starve to achieve this.   Hear me now and believe me later, you just have to live smart and live naturally the way nature intended us to.
