I came across these links on a blog that I found interesting. I've always heard that a calorie is a calorie, but I have never truly believed that. I feel different when I eat 100 calories of veggies than when I eat 100 calories of cookies. The first link is a video (which is over an hour long, but is definitely mind changing!) and the second is an article about the video and the research done therein.
I, for one, plan to cut down my sugar intake for the rest of the month and then starting May 1st, I'll try to eliminate it completely. At least, in it's refined forms, I will still consume whole fruits, etc.
If anyone views it, please let me know what you think!

I have one trick that's been working for me in the afternoons when I get my worst sugar cravings. Whenever I think I need sugar, I drink hot tea sans sugar or milk/cream. Thankfully I like my tea straight up! Green Tea, White Tea, Peppermint Tea... etc. Want to eat an M&M, drink tea. Want to eat cookie, drink tea. I've been drinking a ton of TEA, at least 3 cups every afternoon. But so far so good!
