Today’s Resolution: Lay Off The Sweets

I’m the farthest thing from a health-nut, though I do believe that fruit is nature’s candy and it could definitely get me into trouble with the amount I’d consume if you let me. Soda is another sweet that everyone (myself previously included) drinks without considering the liquid calories that pay off in no way, shape or form.

In fact, read 3 Surprising Reasons to Give Up Soda if you need help giving it up. High-fructose corn syrup is barely 20 years old, and nobody has tested the long-term effects but according to the article, genetically engineered crops used to make the stuff are known to cause accelerated aging and infertility. Suddenly I’m glad my mom never kept soda in the house. She’s also obsessed with Jorge Cruise and The Belly Fat Cure which basically says that when you cut out sugar, you lose tons of weight. I tend to believe it.

Enough preaching though. Today’s resolution is only for one day. Lay off the sweets. Replace them with whatever you  want.
