Sugar Lovers: Let's Weigh 20% MORE

[Guest guest]

Thought you'd like that, Nick!

OK, I'm torn between ditching sugar for the first 6 months and, of

course, DOING THINGS MY WAY.

If I did things my way, I would eat like I want and work my ass off

exercising. (Incidentally, I'm very interested in weight training.

Remember Hamilton's biceps in one of those Terminator movies?

Yeah, I'd love to have those!) And when I say exercise, I mean at

least 5 days a week, 30-40 minutes per session, of strenous, weigh-

bearing, sweaty aerobic exercise, interspersed with weight training.

It simply does not compute in my head that TWO chocolate kisses (or

the equivalent) everyday will sabotage my weight loss, especially if

I'm exercising a lot. There aren't that many darn calories in those

things! Let's not forget the simple facts of biology: overall, if

you consume less fuel than your body needs to maintain its current

weight, you will lose weight. There is no way around this " law. "
