It's never to late...

Even Splenda isn't great. That and aspartame tick your body into storing insulin which prevents your body from burning fat. Granted, it is probably just a small bit, but it still happens.

I used to drink a big cup of coffee with Splenda and creamer every morning. Now it is straight black, no sugar or anything. Took a while to get used to, but now it is like nothing. I also drink some green tea, with no sweetener.

But we can't be perfect all the time, I ate a Frosty tonight. :lol:
 
Considering I eat no other sweets I am ok with this. No starches, potatoes rice breads at all very little natural sugars.. In fact i have learned my body well enough that I can go in & out of ketosis pretty quickly, due to this diet I am on. Splenda contains about 1 carb. per packet. I have no more than 4 a day..

The carbs I do get a lot of are the natural carbs, of the leafy green veggie type. Greens (kale, spinache, mustard, turnip) artichoke, asparagus. I check the carb count on everything I eat before I buy it. This has become a life style change for me.

I was doing some research earlier, & ran across a repeat item; you have to have 8 hours sleep! I find that, hard to do, even though I know I need it! So, I'm wondering if "rodnocker" is getting his Family up at 4:30, are they in bed, by 8-8:30? THAT would/will, be tough!

The wife and I get up at 4:30am Mon thru Fri. I get up at 3:45am a couple of days a week to exercise before work. We usually go to bed around 8:30-9pm. Before I met my wife I use to get up around 5:45am, and go to bed around 10-10:30pm. It took me some time to get use to her schedule.
 
There's a lot of newer research into not only the amount of sleep we get but into how seasonal light patterns affect us. By sitting up late in front of tv and computer monitors, especially in winter months when it is dark longer, "we fool our bodies into living in a perpetual state of summer. Anticipating the scarce food supply and forced inactivity of winter, our bodies begin storing fat and slowing metabolism to sustain us through the months of hibernation and hunger that never arrive." It messes with the metabolism and hormones, causes problems with appetite and fertility, and it increases the incidence of cancer, depression, heart disease, diabetes...
