After discovering that I'm hypoglycemic 8 months ago, I had to cut down my sugar by about 90%, and start exercising regularly. I did just that and have gone from a 37 inch waist to a 32 inch waist. I am also now wearing medium underwear and shirts instead of large.
I have struggled with my weight for the last 16 years (since finishing university). I couldn't understand for the life of me why I was gaining weight so quickly. After finding out that I'm also celiac a couple of years ago, the weight really started piling on because gluten freee food is very high in sugar. The culprit all those years was sugar!
Thank you for the motivating words.
I too am a Celiac and I have a very difficult time getting rid of the sugar.
My great grandmother was a full blown diabetic. My father was borderline. My sugar tests show high, but not in red alert stage yet.
I bought a book called "Sugar Blues", and haven't had a chance to read it.
I'm hoping it has tips on how to reduce sugar intake but yet either satisfy or curb the cravings.
The sugar cravings are crazy for me. I MUST have chocolate. Its so addicting. I've tried fruit...it just doesn't curb the craving.
I don't really eat fast food anymore and haven't in a while due to the Celiac issues. I dropped 10 lbs right away when I cut out the wheat/gluten, but slowly gained it back and it probably was from the sugar.
