I consumed no evil all weekend.

I have a serious sugar addiction problem. It has concerned cathijosephine a lot. I don't know how anybody manages to consume it in quantities that aren't unhealthy. I saw something that suggested classifying refined sugars as poisons because they displace foods that contain nutrients in diets.

My current list of evil foods:

• Refined / added sugars.
• Refined grains (white flour, white rice).
• Fruit juice (refined sugar)
• White potatoes.

"Sugar sweetened beverages" are particularly evil.

Part of this process was google searching for sugar depression.

The paleo diet is neat (just meat, veggies, and fruits), although I'm not sure about its exclusion of whole grains. An inconvenience that occurred to me last night is that I don't think canned fruit is available in plain water. The blood type diets are interesting (different diet for each blood type), although for me it basically just points back to the paleo diet.

The raw meat diet fascinates me, but I don't really want to spend that much money on meat of sufficient quality.

Update: Apparently all rice has a high Glycemic Index, so I'm going to try to stop eating it.

I've been considering making some major changes in my diet, after gaining ten pounds since school started :( Thanks for giving me something to consider. As a vegetarian though it's hard to handle the meat part of things, and a lot of processed veggie protein stuff has, well, a lot of crap in it.

With canned fruits in syrup, if it's hard to get it packed in water, perhaps you could put the fruit in a colander and rinse it with water until all the syrup is off. It could work, although the fruit itself could still be infused with the water. Worth looking in to.

Yeah last night I think I decided I'm okay with buying fruit packed in fruit juice (with no sugar added) and just pouring it out, thanks.
