I went to visit relatives out of state and I was left home alone most of the time. They did not have much food around the house. What they did have was boxes of oranges. I ate soooooo many oranges it was ridiculous. (I did eat some other foods though) They were perfect, ripe, juicy and sweet. I felt different and by the end of the week I lost a bit of weight. I don't know how much but my waist had definitely gone down. I didn't weigh too much to begin with though. More energy levels. I used to eat quite a bit of candy. But when I got back home I really didn't have anymore cravings, it was quite amazing. But then I gradually got sucked back into a more "western diet." though now I eat more organic and stuff ^^ I'm still looking to eliminate more meat and sugar from my diet.Lesliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03000907351893898443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-78201864855512000512010-01-10T17:45:57.140-08:002010-01-10T17:45:57.140-08:00I found your blog just a few weeks ago when I deci...I found your blog just a few weeks ago when I decided to write about my own decision to give up sugar. I am thoroughly inspired by your experience.

My experience - which no one can argue with or take away - is that one bite of sugar is too much and a thousands bites are not enough.<br /><br /><br />The effect of sugar on me is I get anxious, depressed, easily irritated and somewhat paranoid. I have never once thought about sneaking or lying about eating a cup of brown rice in the same way I do when I eat Reese's Peanut Butter Cups.<br /><br />Thanks for the work you do on your blog!No Longer Blogginghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12048458307663473398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-21252299164446130122010-01-08T13:05:12.971-08:002010-01-08T13:05:12.971-08:00Thanks for linking to Nestle's site!

I didn't know she had one but love her books. <br /><br />While they can't prove that it actually is addictive... we all know we can't stop eating it, like Mason said. Maybe we will see changes towards this in the future. Maybe.Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03201592937889358953noreply@blogger.com
