OK…I went to the Amish market and I bought a box of Benefit Nutrition’s “Simply Fiber.” Each serving has:

14g of Fiber (56% RDA)
NO Sugar
1g fat
0 trans fat
1g soluble fiber & 13 g insoluble fiber
0 cholesterol
0 sodium

And on the way back I got a cheeseburger, dill pickle and bag of chips.

I went on a wheat-free, dairy-free, sugar-free diet once. It took some experimenting and getting used to, but it was pretty interesting.

I lost about 25 lbs., my recurrent sinus infections went away, I had a ton of energy, and went from a size 12 to a 6.

Thanks, Snappy!

Dave, I have a friend with high tryglicerides too. He cut back on soda, but hasn’t had a blood test yet to see if it worked.

I wonder what effect cutting out refined carbs and potatoes would have, since these supposedly are very similar to sugar. But they’re practically inescapable unless you eat all your meals at home. Or in Paris.

We could all move to Paris. I think that would help.

BRG, my father passed away from cancer and everyone else in my immediate family has had cancer in some form and I was not offended by your post in the slightest. Almost all talk of cancer, including my stats posted above your post, is beneficial in that it raises awareness.

Now can we please go back to talking about any or all of the random and meaningless topics I’ve raised today?
