Single most important change you can start TODAY. ELIMENATE SUGAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sugar is a carbohydrate, important nutritent in a diet (don't get to happy)
3 forms of sugar are: Monosaccharides-Simple sugars like glucose and fructose which is found in fruit,corn, corn syrup and honey.

Disaccharides-Complex sugars=sucrose, lactose and maltose found in table sugar, milk and beer.

Polysaccharides- Complex sugars=starches from plants found in grains, beans and veggies.

These sugars when broken down by the body create GLUCOSE. GLUCOSE is broken down more (metabolized) to give lots of energy for daily bodily functions like, walking, breathing, blinking, lying down, picking your nose etc...
GLUCOSE is the brain's choice for fuel. Remember the feeling you get after 4hrs of no food? That feeling comes from lack of glucose in the brain!!! Complex carbs are an IMPORTANT source of non-fat energy for your body!!! FYI 1 gram of carbs=4calories, 1 gram of fat=9calories. You do the math. Ok but don't get to excited!!! Whenever you eat huge amounts of carbs whatever your body does not use, gets converted into fat and stored in your fatty tissue. So easy on the grains and fruits. Remember use the size of your hands for portion control.

Here is some info on sugar that will convert you from a sweet tooth junkie to a "clean" non-junkie?!
1. 1tsp white sugar has 15 calories. Not bad? You can burn 15 calories picking your nose! HOWEVER, the damage 1tsp does to you body in the celluar level is CRAZY!! Take a look at your skin? Does it look like mine???? Flawless? heehee... My friends sugar is #1 enemy of the skin (I'll cover this in detail another time) STAY AWAY. But if you must...

Moderation is key! Even "natural" sweetners are dangerous. Honey, maple syrup, rice and agave syrups are all to be eaten in limited amounts.. So enjoy the occasional "sweet treat" once in a while and really consider if it's worth it.
