Fed Up

How did you like optifast?  I was thinking of drinking Premier shakes?

CJ,

Thank you for the post. I think sugar is the Devil Lol. Hate it and pray I can stay away from it. Good luck to you too.

Thank You!!!!! :)))

I agree!  One of the best documentaries I've ever seen.  It explains so much and helps validate my feelings as to why I'm obese and the cravings.  It's not as simple as just get off the couch and do it like so many people are being told. 

EXACTLY.....I love his glutton and sloth analogy he uses!

Fed Up is a great documentary. I bought it as soon as it came out on iTunes. It's amazing how powerful the sugar industry is. To this day the amount of sugar that's in foods still isn't listed in the ingredients, it only lists if sugar is in the food. If people knew how much sugar they're really eating as per the rda, they'd flip out!

I thought it was awesome as well!  Lots of great info!

From a scientific perspective, "Fed Up" is full of scientific and statistical misinformation. These experts have put together a good list of errors. In fact, scientific evidence showing sugar as a major (singular) cause of obesity is weak and affected by many other factors.

Additionally, there's no scientific basis for most of aromatherapy. If a particular smell makes you feel better and distracts you from eating, that's peachy. Claims such as that bergamot stimulates the endocrine system-- and is therefore good for weight loss-- are complete bunk; oil of bergamot is not listed on any endocrine disruptor list.

If only this board had a "like" button... :)

....I want you to know that the post below yours isn't for you.  I was responding to someone else that I think blocked me.  I hate that.  I wasn't trying to be ugly.... I guess when she blocked me, her posts either disappeared or she deleted them.  I would apologize to her if I could send her a message.  We had opposing views on the subject of sugar.  Variety is the spice of life....Individuality is a good thing.
