If you haven't watched it yet, and if you are a fatfighter who has felt out of control and ravenous, like you're always hungry, well, watch the video I link to at the end of this post. It's 90 minutes, but on a lazy evening, leave the TV alone and watch it.
It's got a lot of science (but trust me, it's relevant and it's eye-opening). In fact, I'm glad this physician--Dr. Robert Lustig, professor of pediatrics at the University of California at San Francisco-- took the time to go through each of the metabolic processes. It makes so much sense by the time he's done, it's like an epiphany. It's one, interestingly, that you can see manifested in Lyn from Escape from Obesity as she did MediFast (which is not a program I'm crazy about on paper, as the caloric level is really low and the food is overprocessed and is not like a real-life plan that's livable, though certainly it gives quick results). I think she eats BETTER when she makes her own lower carb meals chockablock with nice and colorful veggies. :)
What's important is what it does to the appetite (calm it) when sugar/fructose/HFCS are eliminated or reduced drastically.
I also like how he exlains WHY exercise is beneficial to weight loss, and it's not about "calories out." I really, really like how incrementally he shows how Metabolic Syndrome can be traced to the ingestion of fructose/sucrose/HFCS in increasing quantities.
And even if you think you already know all this stuff, maybe you haven't seen it presented just like this:
Sugar, The Bitter Truth
This response to the video is critical of it, so I offer the link as a counterpoint.
This post has a very nice summary of the video and its own conclusions.
So, tomorrow, I'll eat the orange instead of juicing it. :D

Has it really been 5 days since I have last written? Where did the time go? I think I hit the ground running as of last Monday morning and still haven't stopped!! My family and I have flown to Texas for the wedding of a family friend. We've just spent 14 hours traveling due to heightened security measures. It took us 3.5 hours to get to our gate. I am by no means complaining since I understand
I made a healthful breakfast this morning, including 3/4 fresh juice and an egg-white scramble with 5 servings of veggies (zucchini, spinach, onions, green pepper, mushrooms). I made hubby a fresh and healthful lunch to keep him shiny and handsome.
And I'm gonna start writing again after ages of not doing so. It's National Novel Writing Month, so why not? A good time to jump back in.
I'm feeling good, and I want to feel proud at the END of this day, having done my best to eat for health and move for health and think affirmatively.
We need a change
Do it today
I can feel my spirit rising
We need a change
So do it today
'Cause I can see a clear horizon
What have you done today to make you feel proud?

Hi Clean Eaters,My team and I put this video together to thank you for your support! I will be away on vacation with my family until March the 25th. I will catch up with all my emails, blogposts, and the forum when I get back.Enjoy the video, and let me know what you think!
Someone loves us the way we are, plumpy and chunky.
This song rocks. I can't stop playing it. Hat tip to CC of Journeying to Lose 200 Pounds.
I'm gonna dance with my chunky self.
This is the drum group hubby and I had the class with. Our instructor is the third lady of the front trio of drummers (counting from L to R).
If you're in South Florida, and you've wanted to try this, google em up. They're in Broward County.

You can see why this would, er, burn calories and build fitness. :)
If you drop by YOUTUBE and search under Taiko or Taiko Drumming, you can see some of the incredible troupes at work--they will blow your mind. I tried to find more of a "class" type one. I love how the people shout out in performance (like the video with the women in red and white outfits and shorts), cause they're clearly having fun.
If you have time, do not miss THIS PERFORMANCE which is just astonishing--a combo of taiko drumming with some hip-hop moves. Such energy!
Dang. That Prince Nuada (from Hellboy II: The Golden Army) is something. :D I love those gothy bad boys. (The link takes you to a youtube.com tribute of the Prince using "Let Go" by Frou Frou, one of my fave songs of the last...when did it come out, two years ago?)
This vid, though, is worth posting: It has a more fantasy-connected tune, as it's "Mordred Lullaby" by Heather Dale, and it's better structured and edited. Fabulous--
Must say. His workout routine is...entertaining.
We would all be buff if hottie elves became personal trainers. :D
Ladies...enjoy.
