Re:jharsh80s on sugar in the States-sugar consumption (coconut oil ? )

November 27, 2006

Hi Joy,

To get off the sugar, is the coconut oil all you did ? I am a sugar

junkie at work , it's weird but I seldom have sweets on my days off

and definatly not in the obscene amount I have at work and once I

start it's all over . Any other tips you may have would be greatly

appreciated.

Thanks

Suki

you'll get 156 pounds of sugar per person per year.

kids who don't eat that much, and you're looking at some American

wolfing down over 200 pounds of sugar- maybe more.

really don't eat sugar, but my hubby reminded me of my Booch! That

does take a bit- so I'm probably consuming and using around 20-30

pounds per year by my estimation.

overcome the cravings and all by using coconut oil in my coffee in the AM.
