UNC winning right now is a good thing. We want them to hang on to Belichick.

I use fruit in my oatmeal like blueberry, strawberry or raspberry.

A brewer's trick to imply sweetness that isn't there is to add some vanilla.
I just stopped using sugar or eating anything that had sugar in it. You'll find your taste buds adjust very quickly.

At least with it on CW I still have access.

Between YTTV dropping all Disney channels and ESPN+ no longer giving you ACC Network or a bunch of other games access because only ESPN Unlimited gets those now...may not watch many more this season.

As Dr Shoog mentioned a lot in this thread, cutting/reducing sugar is really hard. I don't like the taste of the synthetic alternative sweeteners and the natural ones have been difficult for me to acquire the taste for.

That said -- i have found that incorporating flavors I typically associate with sweet helps scratch the itch even without added sugar. I sprinkle some cinnamon and cardamom onto my coffee grounds before brewing, use unsweetened cocoa powder in my low fat greek yogurt and with my unflavored protein powder. Unsweetened pumpkin spice blend is another good one this time of year -- just a little something for me to trick my taste buds into "this is sweet"

Another update after 6 mo, and total cholesterol + LDL trending well. Continuing to fall.

Got a cortisone shot in the knee and feel pretty good, but with clocks changing my SAD will kick in and motivation for exercise will crater. Down about 10 lbs this year though!

We take the victories when we can!

You are confusing scared money with smart money. Hiring Franklin is smart money. You get more assured ROI, and whatever ceiling you think is there is higher than what we deem to be the baseline of success here.
