I think I recall a post that Buck had "sugar is killing us, and is in everything" or something like that. its' amazing what's in our food and how horrible we are eating as a society.

Lower you insulin resistance as quickly as possible. For some people that could be dangerous but for most it's the single most important thing you can do to improve your health. [Reply]

yes!! once i realized what my "triggers" were, it was certainly (more) manageable. i should also add that using common sense, not over-indulging, and making better choices have helped me out tremendously!! also, i pretty much won't eat anything after 8pm.
everything in moderation!! [Reply]

Admittedly, even in my younger days I was a bit flighty, so I didn't exactly start this downhill slide from a position of strength. :-)
My wife and my son have a field day with me these days when I "lose" something......"where are my glasses" and "where did you move the car keys" usually bring all kinds of abuse.
