The average American eats 24 pounds of candy every year (Nielsen Research). Holy smokes that's a lot of candy. Maybe you eat less than that so you don't have to feel too guilty right now. Regardless, that is a lot of sugar out there. (Oh PS - Happy Halloween ;). And unless you have some kind of ungodly willpower, you might be like me and have some Halloween treats. Which is cool aside from the spike in your blood sugar and insulin, and the fatigue and crabbiness that can come with that. Counting the candy as a sunk cost of having a good time during a holiday, try to regulate your blood sugar by eating mostly low glycemic foods today! For breakfast, scrambled eggs with salsa or tomatoes, and your beverage of choice - sans sugar - and try a salad with little or no salad dressing for lunch. Put whatever you want on it! Dinner pick some yummy meat, steak or salmon, and veggies, like a seasonal organic squash would be tasty. Then you won't be grumpy because it's Monday and grumpy because you ate too much sugar!



Who actually eats candy corn anymore? Maybe a bad photo choice?
