"When you spike your blood sugar level several times a day, every day, it is exactly like taking sandpaper to the inside of your delicate blood vessels.”

My blood sugar shot up to 155! Healthy fasting blood sugar is around 80. Diabetes is diagnosed when fasting blood sugar goes to 120 or above and is 140 or above after eating. My blood sugar shot up to diabetic range! And it stayed that way for several hours… It was still higher than usual by the …

"...surround yourself with beautiful people and fill your life with the sugar-free sweetness that comes from love, compassion and true happiness will be more than enough to get you through those sugar-free days."

Why do we love sugar so much? Why does it taste so good? Why do we crave it so intensely when it’s not there? Yes, sugar cravings give us an instant [sugar-high] gratification that light up the reward center of our brains (causing a similar effect as highly addictive drugs), but there’s a bit more t…

Love this quote - by a woman who loves to play in the dirt...

What do you like about plants and working in the dirt?
"Well, I really like that everything starts very very small and grows, and you just have to give it a little bit of love and it kind of takes care of itself. I really like edible things. I really like beans. Since I'm a vegetarian, the one thing that I can grow that's protein is a legume, and you can grow it yourself and be self-sustainable and self-subsistent. Native American beans- that's my favorite thing in the world. That's really my calling is just growing different kinds of beans. I'm pretty sure that's what I'll end up doing."

A friend of a friend sent me the quote below. Too good not to share:

"Keaton ate part of a cinnamon roll this morning (he didn't eat the whole thing because he said he thought it would give him a stomach ache) and then proceeded, about 20 minutes later to start being crazy disrespectful and chose not to listen over and over again. Eventually, as he is throwing a fit, he cries out 'I just had so much sugar today and I don't know why but it makes me crazy and SO ANGRYYYYY!'
So there ya go folks. A wise 4 year old knows his body pretty darn well. And the special "treat" ended up being our undoing!"
