I'm not "on a cleanse" and I haven't "gone Paleo", but I did read Dr. Rober Lustig's excellent book, Fat Chance, Beating the Odds Against Sugar, Processed Food, Obesity, and Disease, and I'm on a sugar reset. What lead to this? Well, eating whatever I wanted for the last couple years, no restrictions. The good: I finally set myself free from over 30 years of on-and-off dieting. The not so good: up ten pounds and not feeling my best.
The science in Dr. Lustig's book openned my eyes to the damage I was potentially doing to my health by feeding in a near constant flow of simple carbs. I decided to lay off the sugar and alcohol (wine - boo hoo!) for a couple weeks and assess. Did I lose five pounds? No. Is that ok with me? Yes. Freedom from reckless eating has its own rewards - peace of mind. |
