    Sugarettes - sugar plays the unassuming villian

    I recently read an outstanding book by Dr. Scott Olson ND called Sugarettes, Sugar Addiction and Your Health. It's one of the best books for "laymen" I've read in a long time and I highly recommend it. You can check out my examiner column if you want more information.

    He's also sponsoring a 30 day sugar-free challenge which will start in January. While I'm already sugar-free, I'm thinking of joining and trying a sweet-free challenge for myself. Can I do it? I have no idea. The taste of sweet seems to have a pretty good hold on me. I'll give it a good shot though. Anyone care to join us?

    HLCL Video Blog: Update

    I decided to just do a quick video update for those subscribed to the youtube videos that may not read my blog. There are a few quick things my regular readers may enjoy as well.



    (Just realized that the visitor count was actually 10,330.. not the 10,380 like I had stated.)

    You can find the link to Carb Wars here, and the link to Good Calories, Bad Calories here. Jimmy Moore's Discussion Group on Good Calories, Bad Calories can be found here.

    Hope to be back soon!

    Finally...

    I finally got the cookbook/products page done on my website. I also added a widget to the right side of this blog as well.

    If you'd like to see what cookbooks, books, exercise DVDs, etc. that I like and recommend, you can find that here:

    Now, on to tackle those myths pages I've been putting off for so long...
