With such a topic so broad we truly try to cover the basics from all angles in this group. Nothing too big or too small. Nutrition is as significant if not more as exercise is to reaching your goals so learn all you can.

As I was typing this, I realized that I have no clue exactly what I am trying to find out. Please advise. -------------- Hecdarec in full effect.

	2004/03/01, 10:51 AM I don't think that small amount of sugar would effect a normal healthy person. I have switched to splenda because I can't tell a difference. -------------- Some times life is like herding cats. Charlie

I don't put sugar in my coffee but I use Splenda for some other things and it really is very close. I never understood the decaf coffee thing, I've got to have my caffeine in the morning.

Its a nice little kick in the ass for your workout. -------------- May the lift be with you.

Either start by phasing it out gradually or replace (I like splenda, too). I LOVE MY CUPPA JOE AND IT IS AS BIG AS MY HEAD! -------------- If you fall down seven times, get up eight.
