Dr. Oz Challenge: Sugar Detox Challenge

Dr. Oz Challenge
Dr. Oz Challenge: Sugar Detox Challenge

Please click on the link above to see how sugar reeks havoc on our bodies.  I will be posting more links to Dr. Oz' site in the future.  I really like Dr. Oz! He is not only a cardiac thoracic surgeon, award winning author and professor, but is also Oprah Winfrey's good friend. LOL. 
I encourage you to read through his material and find out how sugar might be harming your own body.  From a personal standpoint, I can say sugar has affected my life by causing me to develop insulin resistance.  Insulin resistance has caused me to have a high triglyceride level, made it hard to lose weight around the stomach, and I have to take two "horse pills" a day to control it.  This is why Jeff and I have become more determined to change our eating habits.

Removing sugar from one's diet is not always easy, but very beneficial to your health.

So do yourself a favor.  Educate yourself and GET OF THE SUGAR!!!!!!!

You can also read  more about this in Dr. Oz' book YOU ON A DIET. I am currently reading both YOU ON A DIET and THE SOUTH BEACH DIET.  They both have similar principles on sugar and diet.  These are two books I highly recommend picking up!

I don't want to be too much of a nag, however, I think this is important information to get out there.  The more we know the better advocates we can be for our own bodies.
