Glad to see your post, and thanks so much for doing it! I’m really grateful. Your post — which I found, thanks to Google alerts — alerted me to Dr. Scott’s sugarfree challenge, which led me to contact him… Long story short, we’re co-presenting a Great Worldwide Sugar-Out Challenge on Jan. 16 on both my Gab With the Gurus Radio Show and on Twitter. (It’s a TwitAsYouQuit learnfest.) Anyhow, thanks again. Connie Bennett, author, SUGAR SHOCK!

How come this article is illustrated with a picture of an absolutely delicious-looking muffin? Mmm.. muffins.. I’m trying to stay away from sugars (at least the refined sugar) all of january, but that muffin picture just got my taste-buds starting to fantasize..

Great idea – It’s funny how a simple thing like removing simple sugar can slim you down without you even having to lift a finger – Happy New Year!

Thanks for all the posts guys. I am very pleased this post by Dr Scott started a torrent of discussion.
@ Guylaine: Your post workout meal seems great sweet potato’s are the perfect post workout food. I love them with dinner even smothered with some nut butter! Its obvious we need carbs but not sugar thats why things like sweet potato, fruit and vegtables work so well to repleish our glycogen as they are loaded with anti-oxidants, and digest slowly……I look forward to some making some more posts on the topic in 09.

Merry Christmas!

Sugar sucks, keep spreading the word!

Except for rare occasions, I don’t include sugar or grain in my diet (http://www.thedrillcoach.com/2008/07/refrain-from-grain.html).

But eliminating grain from your diet doesn’t mean no-carbohydrates. Our bodies need carbs to function properly. Your main source of carbs should be fibrous ones from vegetables such as broccoli, cauliflower, spinach and peppers.

And there are many alternatives to bagels and cereals for breakfast and post-workout meals. I follow-up my morning workout session with a breakfast that includes two whole eggs and a baked sweet potato sprinkled with cinnamon and nutmeg. After a heavy weight lifting session, I might even add ¼ cup of fat free cottage cheese (although dairy is not an option for everyone).

Good luck to everyone doing the challenge. And remember to eat your vegetables!
