A Website to Cause Projectile Vomiting.

I've lost ten pounds in the last six weeks by changing up my diet. Fruits and veggies (fresh whenever possible) now dominate. I eat bread that is multi grain, as well as pasta. I avoid anything with the ingredient "high fructose corn syrup." I even have "organic" peanut butter (which is an unique texture and flavor, and I think I'm really starting to like it!).

I have more energy, I'm sleeping better at night (sleeping fewer hours), and I'm getting more accomplished, my disposition is much less surly...

The problem with American diets is the focus on quantity, transportability, convenience, and long term preservation for storage. So we've crushed the nutrition out of food in favor of making sure we don't have to work at it.

High fructose corn syrup is particularly dangerous as it is processed by the liver. If the body needs sucrose, it is processed into sucrose. If the body doesn't (and we consume plenty), then the liver converts it into storable fat.

I'm really enjoying the new tastes, flavors, and food combinations of my new diet.
