On my soap box...

In July, after an emergency room visit, several trips to the doc, and a bunch of tests, the only thing they found wrong with me was very elevated triglycerides. This shouldn't have been a surprise, as I had the same problem back in 1999. This time, I read up on the problem to see what I could do. It turns out that alcohol and sugar (especially honey) are my mortal enemies. I immediately swore off sugar (I didn't drink more than a beer a month anyway).

Since I stopped consuming refined sugars, I have now dropped from 239 to 207 without picking up any nasty exercise habits or reducing my fat intake. To anyone who wants to lose weight, I have this recommendation:

QUIT EATING SUGAR!!!!

Or to put it in Foosball terms: SUGAR IS THE DEVIL!
