    What is a good methadone for sugar

    跳过

  • Honestly, the best way to lower your intake of sugar isn't to replace it with a different sweetener. In most cases, you'll find its not an adequate 'replacement' because psychologically, looking for a direct analog (or super close in taste at the minimum).

    It's the habit that needs to change, not the way you scratch the itch. I'm not a fan of absolutes, so I don't think an intention of "no more refined sugar. Period." is practical or reasonable. But cutting down how much you intake by reducing the frequency, that'll do wonders for you.

    This method is what kick started my journey down this same path. You can still have sugar (yay!), but you most likely won't want to very often after not too long (wtf?).

    It is so mind bottlingly crazy how much sugar is in literally everything from breads to sauces. Once I cut down how much sugar I was taking in (by cutting down how often I had a sweet drink of any kind, one drink at a time), I could taste the sweetness in food at restaurants, savory stuff from the bakery...I couldn't escape it.

    Now, I'll have a couple of sweet drinks in a day. I control how much sugar I put in by not buying sweet drinks and instead making stuff at home. Coffee, flavored water, etc.

    Long story short...

    There is NO great methadone for refined sugar. If you want to reduce how much you're ingesting, reduce the frequency. Be kind to yourself by setting reasonable, bite-sized goals so that the achievement encourages you to continue on and make more progress.

    Anything in moderation; nothing in excess

  • SATAN'S GUIDE TO THE BIBLE

    跳过

  • I watched this a handful of days ago. It's pretty decent, and there was certainly info in there I didn't know. Some added context to current world events

    Love how they get ahead of naysayers right up front by showing that the info being presented is known by anyone that's been through a mainstream seminary. Then differentiating between biblical scholars and pastors.

  • I turned 44 just the other day; honestly, without a doubt I'd have taken the pill the day before my 21st birthday. One big do-over and minimal responsibilities to manage after the de-aging.

    • ✔️ Someone taking care of me 24/7 for a period measured in years?
    • ✔️ School? What a joke. Ace everything, be a social and intellectual prodigy?
    • ✔️ No bills, no responsibilities?
    • ✔️ Boundless energy and Wolverine-like healing?
    • ✔️ One set of friends in their 40s with life and professional advice/connections for you as you turn 21; and another set of friends your own age bursting with enthusiasm, ideas, and a gleam in their eye?

    Like, I'm not seeing a downside to this over here...

  • Of the mess, no. But here's a pic of Satan's abomination...

    It's basically tiny styrofoam balls that stick together, I think it's mostly static electricity holding it together. Once you open the package, and start manipulating the biodiversity hazard, it leaves little pieces of itself everywhere.

    Much like herpes, and just as welcome. In my case, Satan was feeling extra cute so there was glitter mixed into the packaged santorum.

    It's now day 6 after opening and I guarantee I'll find little purple and pink assholes around my house
