I am filled with regret for doing it. My biggest regret is that I didn't do this earlier in my life. I've given up sugar and refined carbs. Been eating meat, fish, cheese, nuts, avocados, above-ground veggies (leafy greens, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms). Can drink whiskey (which is no carb) and red wine (which is low-carb).
Since mid-June I went from 195lbs to 167. 28% body fat to 17%. Sleep better. Mentally alert. Happier.
Go read Gary Taubes' "The Case Against Sugar." Must read. Someone said it on this Board that sugar is poison.
Indeed.
To those on this Board that seek a deeper understanding of the things around us and the health problems typical in a Western society (insulin resistance, T2D, hypertension, arteriosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, fibromyalgia, cancer), I urge you to research this if you haven't already. Perhaps Baron and some of our health practitioners can weigh in here.
