Welcome to General Chat - GAW Community Area
This General Chat area started off as a place for people to talk about things that are off topic, however it has quickly evolved into a community and has become an integral part of the GAW experience for many of us.
Based on its evolving needs and plenty of user feedback, we are trying to bring some order and institute some rules. Please make sure you read these rules and participate in the spirit of this community.
Rules for General Chat
-
Be respectful to each other. This is of utmost importance, and comments may be removed if deemed not respectful.
-
Avoid long drawn out arguments. This should be a place to relax, not to waste your time needlessly.
-
Personal anecdotes, puzzles, cute pics/clips - everything welcome
-
Please do not spam at the top level. If you have a lot to post each day, try and post them all together in one top level comment
-
Try keep things light. If you are bringing in deep stuff, try not to go overboard.
-
Things that are clearly on-topic for this board should be posted as a separate post and not here (except if you are new and still getting the feel of this place)
-
If you find people violating these rules, deport them rather than start a argument here.
-
Feel free to give feedback as these rules are expected to keep evoloving
In short, imagine this thread to be a local community hall where we all gather and chat daily. Please be respectful to others in the same way
Well said sis. Sugar is something I am trying to break free from completely. Please keep me in your prayers. It's tough.
How was your Christmas?
Yeah, I only say that as I’m eating Sees candy. 🤣😂. Once the holiday is over with I’m gonna go back to my low carb.
I will say this, I can easily drop a few pounds when I go low carb. Cutting back on sugar and carbs. Just makes me feel better all the way around.
If you decide to go, low carb, I suggest checking out labels for a while in the grocery store. Did you know one pop tart has 38 carbs in it? Crazy, huh? So if I decide I want to have 38 carbs/sugars, I’m going to make it worth my while and have something like chocolate moose, or crème brûlée - which by the way, crème brûlée has almost half the carbs of a pop tart because it’s made out of cream.
If you plan on cutting down your sugar, just be very thoughtful in what you choose to eat that has sugar and carbs in it. You will find that eating is more enjoyable, and also the taste of the treats that you have will be enhanced. Just remember it’s not just a sugar in it, it’s the carbs. That’s how I diabetic decides what they’re eating is the carbs because carbs turn into sugar.
Will be praying for that for you. I know you don’t need to lose weight though lol but sugar is just so bad for you. The is a a three hour long podcast with Andrew Huberman and this Doctor, and they discusses sugar. I only listened to half of it, but apparently refined sugar is one of the nutrients that are body does not even require to stay alive. Interesting.
God bless you have a great day.
