My plan for living without sugar lasted for ten days and then only with massive doses of sugar substitutes. Sugar is everywhere and in everything. I walked through a large grocery store yesterday specifically looking for items with no sugar and no salt. There may have been 5 items outside of the butcher section, the fruit section, and the dairy section without refined sugar or salt.
To go without either would require a massive lifestyle change but just might give me more life after the change. I'm considering giving it a go. What I am currently doing for weight loss is certainly not working.

Pick a blog and go with it
I currently have about six blogs and none of them have any decent content on them. I'm going with this one so stay tuned for whatever I may post. Most likely I am writing to myself and nobody else.

Indy... Let it go
A few days ago I dropped out of my VGA Planets game. I was finally putting the hurt on the Romulans as the Klingons too.
However, this old Trek geek does have a life and too much of it was going to a game.
Living Without Sugar: The Plan
I'm tired of the little Wii Fit voice saying "That's overweight". The manatee like figure that I see I see in the mirror does not do much for my self esteem either. It is time to make a change. A stand. To draw the line in the sand.... you get the idea.
My BMI is 28 and I'd like it to be 22.8 or less.
So here is the experiment:
1.Problem: My current eating and exercise habits are dangerous to my health.
2. Hypothesis: Refined sugar is the trigger that causes me to eat too much. Less processed foods generally have much less refined sugar. If I completely stop eating sugar for three months I will loose my sweet cravings an will loose weight.
3. Experiment: Cut out all sugar for one year and see if I loose the weight I desire to loose. The control is that in the past five years I have gone from that normal BMI to mu current bmi of 28.
4. I will report on my blog regularly with interpretive results.
I plan to make this no sugar thing a permanent change but the experiment will run for three months. I do not expect this to be easy.
