The No-Sugar Gourmet Activists Want You!

I'm a progressive who also looks back. I'm up with Facebook and Twitter, but I don't text or even give away my cell phone number unless its absolutely necessary. I'm on Netflix and love it, but I canceled Cable -- just won't watch current TV. I love listening to podcasts in the car, but I rarely listen to current radio stations because they waste too much of my time.


When it comes to food, I'm a total reactionary. I look in history's rear view mirror and come to the conclusion that it's not normal or natural to consume feast portions every day. It's crazy to suck in sugar, fructose and corn syrup every couple of hours. It's sickening to forget about nutritional values and simply shop from the middle (chemical) aisles of the grocery store. It makes no sense whatever to carry home new plastic bags and bottles and packaging with every shopping trip when nice cloth totes are so easy to come by.


I can't see the sense of being a slave to Big Agri and Big Meat or to ignoring the pools of pig/cow poop at factory farms. I see a pattern to e coli turning up on food, produce that has traveled, laid on shelves and become virtually nutrient free. We pay low prices for unhealthy food and high prices for insufficient medical care, and I think something could be done about that: I think we could get mad as hell and refuse to take it anymore.


I'm a boomer with health issues for which I take responsibility. I make sure my food is fresh, chemical free and un-sugared. I take in very little salt, no sugar or corn syrup, no refined flour, no wheat, no gluten. I eat low-glycemic foods that don't spike my insulin levels and lead to disease. What makes me so strict? How do I do it? How do I handle cravings? My spouse and I have become No-Sugar Gourmet Activists!


I plan, Dennis cooks. Between us, we find ways to avoid the foods that trouble our digestion, our focus, our arthritis and our well-being. We eat only delicious, satisfying meals: We crave nothing we don't eat and eat nothing we don't find up to our standards. We eat better-tasting meals than we could get at our very favorite (and expensive) restaurants. If we want something, we create a recipe that suits our needs for flavor, health and satisfaction.


And you can do it too, because we share our finds, recipes and recommendations with you at: no-sugar-recipes.comno-sugar-recipes.com.
