I agree with RJS...If you're a overweight...it's because you eat too much, and you lay on the couch too much. There is no magic pill, or book that will make you lose weight.

Putting a sugar packet in a glass of iced tea is not making you fat. It's the extra large cinnabon next to it that you are eating for lunch.

Just exercise. If you burn more calories than you take in, you will procede to lose weight. It's not all that difficult to figure out.

Granted, just dropping sugar isn't going to change anything. But it can be part of an overall approach. In a normal diet, sugar is okay in moderation (and moderation is arguably a problem with the obese). If you can eliminate a large amount of the daily sugar intake, though...it can't hurt.

Murp...don't forget that might be able to wrap the Splenda-covered bacon up and smoke it.

I freebase Splenda on a daily basis

i have maybe two or three coffees a week at work, not that much, but when i do get one i always put splenda in it.  not because of any health reasons but because it's about 10x sweeter than a sugar packet.  i'm getting cancer from everything else i do so i'm not worried about the 2-3 cancer causing splendas i use each week.

I don't see sugar as being a problem anymore because most of the products that are horrible for you contain HFCS anyway.

I use one packet of the "Sugar In The Raw" for my coffee in the morning and that's about it in terms of sweeteners for me.

Tea & water is pretty much all I drink during the day and I'm allergic to aspartame so diet drinks are out.

At least you're in the right thread to admit your problem.

Fact 3: Sugar is in farging everything and always has been. Chemically, it's even in bread. And yet somehow, Americans are the only people who seem to get fat from eating it.

Funny that - heart disease rates in France jumped shortly following the introduction of McDonalds restaurants.  This is in spite of the fact that the French diet has always been heavy in fat.

Did you know that 60% of the "vegetables" consumed by Americans are fried potatoes?

I'm not surprised that eating pounds of Splenda would give someone the shteins - that's because most if not all of it passes undigested.  Same problem with Olestra.

BTW, assuming something "natural" or "organic" is good/better for you is just ignorant.  Arsenic is natural (found in peach pits) and acetone (nail polish remover) is organic.  I'll stick to Splenda, thanks.

I agree on the eat less than you burn philosophy, but keep in mind that when you are burning fat your system is less efficient (burns more) than when your body is burning carbs.  You can change the amount of calories you burn in a day simply by changing your diet.  You also won't burn fat (the stuff around your waist) while your body is burning carbs (the stuff you just ate).  Of course, getting some exercise is even better, and has other benefits as well (cardio, more muscle mass raises your metabolism, etc.).  Finally, blood sugar instability can make you feel hungry when you are not.

It is mind numbing how fast the internet is growing to become the number one source of fear mongering.

I bought some Dial For Men shower gel and have been using the ladyfriend's loofah to wash myself.

I'm so ashamed but I smell farging great.

[ice grillin you]

hasnt dial always been a unisex soap

I have OCD about keeping every single thing I own in pristine condition.

May or may not be unmanly, because when I sell some of the stuff down the road I get more for it than if I kept in in trash condition.
