I eat a fracking granola bar every fracking morning!!!
Check out the sugar in that, Tri's go up because of sweets and alcohol. I think those bars have sugar in them, I could be wrong (it does happen!).
That 24 oz Mt. Dew had some sugars in it too.....

That soda is probably killing you the most if you're having some every day. I hate to tell you that though b/c that's a tough drink to get away from.

I drink too fracking much soda, and I know it. I gotta get back to excersising daily.
Accorting to their formula, my body mass index is to percetage points away from being obese also, and I am 5 11, and weigh about 212, with a 36 inch waist.

And I can't even drown my sorrow in a Mt. Dew!

Is there anything else you like to drink to make a transition easier? Maybe start with some of those flavored waters? Or maybe start with the smaller soda cans?

Did you buy arizona green tea? ... sorry... check the sugar level. 17g per 8oz glass. People need about 40-50g of sugar a day, and you get it in your fruit (best), and in a lot of processed foods (even 8-10g in a glass of milk).

Sugar is really a killer.

I am drinking green tea I brewed from a tea bag with no sugar in it. I don't like sugar in my tea.

That's great man! If you can get yourself hooked on tea and some coffee (don't get caffene addiction though) you will benefit from the extra water intake (water helps fuel everything including metabolism), and all the extra nutriants a lot of teas and coffee give... that and less sugar.

That was the first thing I did when I made the decision to start getting healthy. Good luck man, and remember, if you mess up and have a Dew once, don't let it keep you down. Just keep it from happening again. :thumb:
