A Sugar Free Merry Christmas

I am recommending Sugar Shock blog (for health reasons only) and enjoying staying healthy this Christmas. I have the book and am learning a lot about the importance of proper glucose levels in the blood for health. It even effects skin (anti-aging) and memory. Plus, staying away from sugar keeps me in size 2 jeans. I had celery today, brown rice and vegetables. I am so thankful I don't have to gain weight to celebrate my Savior's birth!

[Caveat: I have enjoyed this book and have never read anything in it about the author's spirituality. I got an email about the author's implied New Age spirituality, but I am only recommending this blog for the health tips about sugar. I hate to admit it, but I have had a mean sugar addiction in the past, and I never want to go back to craving it and 'losing myself' in sugar, because this does not bring glory to God. A fruit of the Holy Spirit is self control. Sadly, proper diet is rarely discussed in churches and gluttony is usually highly encouraged. When I find a good book on the importance of blood-glucose levels from a medical standpoint, I am encouraged to take care of myself. This is the only reason for my recommendation of this book and blog.]

Now, I did send a lot of pralines to people from Georgia as Christmas gifts to thank people who have made special contributions to LTW. :-) I ate a hot one when I placed the orders, too.

All I am saying is I am trying my best to stay away from sugar and feeling GREAT going to bed on an empty stomach. I don't keep any pralines in the house. :-)
