I believe that half of the thirty pounds that I lost were the result of cutting out coke. I would drink a can before bed almost every night. As long as I stay away from high carb drinks, I can pretty much eat what I want and not gain weight.

My 11 year old son was starting to look a little pudgy and becoming insecure about his belly, so we switched the whole family over to a lower glycemic regimen. No more fruit drinks, pops, white bread, sweets, etc.. Only 100% whole wheat, diet pop, water, low carb sweets. He was not heavy for his height, but in 2 weeks he lost 6 lbs and felt alot better.

My concern is when they go back to school. We are trying to teach them to make better choices when we are not around to monitor their eating.

I firmly believe that one day history will show refined carbs and the so called "food pyramid" as one of the greatest causes of disease and death to mankind.
