How sweet it is..... sugar - pure white deadly
Crazy you say? Well lets look at this... Approx. 30 teaspoons of sugar in a 1/4 pound. A 12 oz pop contains 8 teaspoons of sugar. So it would take only four pops to equal 1/4 pound of sugar! Then think of the sugar in ketchup, salad dressings, breakfast cereals, ( 3/4 cup of granola may contain 10 grams of sugar which is over 2 teaspoons!) pure fruit juice - some pure orange juice contains 22 grams of sugar /serving that's about 5 teaspoons!!
"Of all the foods consumed today, refine sugar is considered to be one of the most harmful"... Macrobiotic Guide - this site has a lot of great info.
If you don't think sugar is a pleasure drug just think of all those "comfort foods" we turn to when we need a little boost and see how much sugar is in them.
Approx. 4 grams = 1 tsp
Read the labels ... be informed... be aware...

Oh what to eat?
The CrossFit dietary prescription is as follows: (taken in part from CrossFit.com)
Carbohydrates should be predominantly low-glycemic and account for about 40% of your total caloric load.
Fat should be predominantly monounsaturated and account for about 30% of your total caloric load.
What Foods Should I Avoid?
Excessive consumption of high-glycemic carbohydrates is the primary culprit in nutritionally caused health problems. High glycemic carbohydrates are those that raise blood sugar too rapidly. They include rice, bread, candy, potato, sweets, sodas, and most processed carbohydrates. Processing can include bleaching, baking, grinding, and refining. Processing of carbohydrates greatly increases their glycemic index, a measure of their propensity to elevate blood sugar.
What is the Problem with High-Glycemic Carbohydrates?
The problem with high-glycemic carbohydrates is that they give an inordinate insulin response. Insulin is an essential hormone for life, yet acute, chronic elevation of insulin leads to hyperinsulinism, which has been positively linked to obesity, elevated cholesterol levels, blood pressure, mood dysfunction and a Pandora’s box of disease and disability. Research “hyperinsulinism” on the Internet. There’s a gold mine of information pertinent to your health available there. The CrossFit prescription is a low-glycemic diet and consequently severely blunts the insulin response.
