18/8/21 ***Today is a good day

 I managed to follow through with my Micro Workouts while reading the Breaking Up with Sugar book.  I am ready to quit Sugar and Flour for good.

Even not taking Sugar in the past 3 days did wonder to my joints.  I am no longer feel sore after a rigorous workout.

Certainly, Molly got me to see Sugar and Flour as what they are.  They are poisons disguised as nutrients.  They are NOT food.  We had been conditioned to believe that they are.  Just because the advertisements say so.

The danger of sugar:

The danger of flour: 

Regular consumption of white flour can lead to the conditions like fatty liver, raises bad cholesterol in your bloodstream resulting in several health issues such as high blood pressure, weight gain, mood swings, and progression toward obesity. So, be mindful from next time when you binge on white flour food products.

1. Acidic: During the process of refining, all the nutrients are removed and white flour becomes acidic in nature.

2. Digestive issues: White flour has been called the "glue of the gut". In today's world, a lot of food is made from white flour and it all turns to glue in the intestines

3. Nutrient deficient: White flour is usually refined so the inner germ layer and the outer bran are removed. In the process, much of the fiber and essential nutrients like vitamins and minerals, and phytochemicals are lost.

4. L-cysteine: This is a non-essential amino acid that is added to baked goods like pizza doughs, cookies, and fast food buns. The cheaper production method of L-cysteine includes synthesizing it from duck or chicken feathers, human hair, and other petroleum byproducts.

5. Diabetes causing ingredient: It contains alloxan that has a negative effect on your body. It destroys the beta-cells of the pancreas and is also toxic for the body. It is also known to be a contaminant that can cause diabetes.
