Aware to beware the sweet and the lazy?

It's one of the things that ticks me off the most @1hopefulman . There is no excuse and when I see a 7-yr-child that weighs 100 pounds, it makes me mad.

White sugar ,junk food, soft drinks and eating high calorie food are so bad for us. If we can't those things very frequently then we are bound to get obese. We can call those food as the silent killers. Physical exercises are a must today.

I am trying to avoid sugar in most of the dishes..hope it helps me to loose some weight

I've started making a change in my life. I try to get to the pool every day, though the last few days have been impossible, but I'm hoping to be there again tomorrow I've changed my diet as well. I don't eat or use white sugar any longer. After my knee replacement surgery I'm hoping to do even more than I've been able to lately.

I'm well aware of our overweight population. Fat is a health hazard.

Fast food and Crisco grease has ruined us. We Can live without it and cook healthier with less salt and more veggies and fruity things. It's easy. We're so used to convenience.

Well, I have lost over 80 pds and my Blood Sugars went way out of control which is an interesting concept to prove Diabetes is not a weight thing. But I am sure being overweight does put a lot of extra Stress on ones body, especially their heart. The biggest issue is that the lower carb and better for you foods out there are usually not the cheapest so that makes for a big factor for sure.

Sugar is very addictive and causes so much harm - I read that cancer cells love sugar, especially the white sugar is acidic - while eating alkaline food can kill even the cancer cells. Our body can't handle the extra sugar, and changes it to fat..and stores it inside us..

I am not greatly overweight, I don't have sugar every day except of course the bit that might be in food and I do try to be as active as possible. The best thing for me is that I have a two-story house so I go up and down the stairs quite often during the day.

Eating too much sugar is seriously a major problem... but it is so addictive...trying to cut back as well. I have a weakness for chocolate. I want that self control to eliminate it completely from my diet.

I have a job that puts me inside and outside at very high temperatures. It is physical labor. I am so tired, and my body is so sore when I am done. In one way, I suppose that is good. In another way, it isn't. I makes me thirsty--not hungry so much. My problem is the only beverage that quenches my thirst is Pepsi. I have quit it before, but now I am back on it. It is so hard to quit. Today...I told myself that I would not open another bottle again for a long time after this bottle is empty.
