Results in 7 days after reducing sugar intake to 25 grams a day!

It been a long time since I have written on this blog but I am back. I have decided to take a new journey into losing weight. I have only been on this new eating plan for seven days and I have already seen results that are pleasing to the eye. The only thing that I have done is become more aware of what I am eating. I was listening to Wayne Dyer the other day on my mp3 in the car and he said that he lost 17 pounds in one month by doing just one thing. He cut back on his sugar intake to 25 grams or less a day. Back in the 1800's the average american consumed about 13 grams of sugar a day. Today the average american consumes over 285 grams of sugar a day. At this rate we are going to be so over weight we won't be able to see our kids graduate from high school. Although I have not read the sugar buster diet in over five years I know it was all about your sugar intake. I have lost belly fat like crazy and to top it off on the months when you are retaining a lot of water (talking to you woman) my cloths weren't tight like they usually are so I know that this eating plan work. I have found it not to be hard at all especially since I already love brown rice (no sugar) and vegetables. I just had a hard time incorporating protien into my diet because I don't like eating red meat that much and chicken breast is totally dry. So I decided to experiment with baking boneless chicken breast then cutting it up into little strips and adding it with my brown rice and I loved it. I am also drinking protien shake so that I can keep up my food intake to about 5 to 7 times a day. I drink my water more than 64oz a day so I am very proud of that. I will keep you updated on my progress and maybe get some guts to post a pick so that I can have a before and after pick.
