Belly Fat Cure

I started Jorge Cruise's The Belly Fat Cure diet over the weekend. The premise of the diet is to limit sugar intake—by a substantial amount. You can get the book on Amazon for $11.66 plus shipping. 


According to Cruise, most American eat an average of 189 grams of sugar a day. His plan cuts that amount to 15 grams. His book supplies recipes and alternatives to eating large amounts of sugar. He says Truvia and sugar alcohols, like xylitol, are OK. Wikipedia says xylitol is a five-carbon sugar alcohol that is a naturally occurring sweetener found in the fibers of many fruits and vegetables, including various berries, corn husks, oats, and mushrooms. 


How do I feel? So far, so good. I went over 15 grams of sugar yesterday—I had about 40 grams. And I wouldn't have had that much but I ate some ice cream. I'm a sugaraholic. I went over but I cut way back. In fact, I probably ate much more than 189 grams of sugar daily. My guess is more than 200, maybe even 250 grams. 


Actually, I've been weaning myself off of the "stuff" for several days now. I haven't weighed myself, but I feel like I've lost a lot of fluid. So, we'll see what happens.
