High Fructose Corn Syrup Challenge * Take the "High Fructose Corn Syrup Challenge," and experience how much better your body feels. * Give up Anything with high fructose corn syrup in it--Anything! Be sure and get the * nutrition information from the web site of your "favorite" ugly fast food place. Check * everything--from ketchup to ice cream to dipping sauces to salad dressings to flavored waters-- Everything! Just try it for six (6) weeks. * Get apples and fruit to satisfy your sugar cravings if you suffer withdrawal--eat several if you have * to. Get some raw almonds or walnuts to satisfy your fat cravings. First get off the bad stuff then * it's much easier to later change your eating habits. First get off the addictive stuff! * Just don't eat any high fructose corn syrup--or any fast food that has the ingredient "corn syrup." * And most fast food restaurants have one or two somewhat healthy foods choices (and I don't mean the withered plants at the drive through entrance--some of those might be artificial, too). * Just give it six weeks--You can do it--and then you will be able to accomplish anything--ANYTHING! * How to give up soft drinks--sweetened and artificially sweetened * drinks: * (Actually in my experimentation, the artificial sugar substitutes act on the brain to cause you to gain even more fat. For your health, get off now!) * Get some green tea (organic is nice), but I also like Bigelow brand of green tea because it is mild. * Put one or two bags in a glass of filtered water for a few minutes (don't have to heat). Sweeten * with stevia (a natural sweetener), or with unprocessed natural sugar or honey or natural maple syrup--or a combination of stevia and one of the sugars--until you let go of most of the sugars. (Do not use artificial sweeteners--Do not ever use artificial sweeteners--Check labels!) I really enjoy the green tea plain now. Some people get off of caffeine completely--but I have not achieved that except for short times of a week or two. I work better and have more energy with some green tea--or at least the addiction has convinced me of that fact. * Fresh lemonade is also wonderful--especially made from organic lemons, and makes a great pick me up at any time--especially when you might be craving the ugly "high fructose" in those cola or other soft drinks. Cut and squeeze fresh lemon into a glass--add stevia and/or some natural unprocessed sugar or honey or natural maple syrup. Keep adding less sugar as you can. Remember, our bodies do need some sugar--just not all the artificial and unnaturally processed "ugly, unhealthy" stuff. We are beautiful creatures and we need to treat ourselves as such--regardless of how society may have tried to program us. Let it go. Release the control, and make your life a little better each and every day. * Soy milk shakes are great for the times when you have to indulge. Use frozen fruit, soy milk, with/or without a soy protein mix or even cocoa. Add stevia to sweeten. Wow! Experiment with it! Remember! Life's an Adventure. Try out this challenge! Educate yourself! |
The Organic Consumers Association site is a great place to research healthy eating habits and news. They also have a great newsletter. Click here for more information. |
* Tip: Start saying "fat" decrease instead of weight loss. The body (and brain) have resistance to losing "weight" because weight could be bones, blood, vitamins, and muscles. You want to decrease fat! The brain has resistance to the word "loss" also. Try "Decrease Fat, Gain Health! Live Life!" |
