My Thoughts On Sugar-Free Diets
Hello my dear friend it’s a pleasure to see you again! Gee Nino it’s great to see you again as well! Gee Nino I actually couldn’t wait to get here today! Gee my friend really! My friend what’s got you so excited today? My friend I have to say that I’ve never seen you so excited like this before, in all the times that we’ve been together so far!
Gee Nino I’m not going to apolgize because I know you always tell me, that it’s not necessary! Gee my friend now I’m getting excited because you finally realizing more and more that there is absolutely no need, to ever apolgize to me for anything whatsoever especially for you being excited about something today! Ok my friend can you now please tell me, why your so excited today before I burst!
Ok Nino! Nino it’s like I’ve been telling you week after week now I’ve learned so much from you in regards to my training, diet, and most important how to deal with my life’s everyday situations whatever they may be in a more positive way! My friend I’m so happy to hear you say that! My friend I’ll be totally honest with you I was actually beginning to think that I was starting to bore you, and you were starting to get sick of hearing me!
Gee Nino bore me are you kidding! Nino it’s like I said you’ve taught me so much in alot of area’s in my life so far especially in my diet! Ok Nino before you say another word let me tell you why I’m so excited today! Oh absolutely my friend you have my undivided attention now go ahead! Ok Nino thanks! Well Nino it’s like I said you’ve taught me so much about my nutrition so far, that I just started a new diet!
Gee Nino before you say anything this diet is not like the fat-free diet, I tried a while back! Nino after our discussion we had on fat-free diets a while back, you definitely convinced me that their is no such thing today in foods being fat-free! Well my friend I’m glad I was able to help you understand the meaning of fat-free, basically you right there is no such thing today and there never will be!
Ok my friend you have me curious so what’s this new diet that your on…. that your so excited about??
Gee Nino I’m almost afraid to tell you only because I knew how you felt when I was, on the fat-free diet I just don’t want this diet to be short lived for me as well! Nino I was actually hoping that I could convince you today, to try this new diet with me as well!
Well my friend as you probably know by now I’m not a big fan, on most of these new diets that are out there today in our society! Yeah Nino I know that but I really think your going to want to make, an exception with this particular diet!
Ok my friend you really have me curious now! My friend what’s the name of this new diet?? Ok Nino it’s called “The Sugar-Free Diet”! Nino have you heard of this diet? My friend as a matter of fact I have, actually a few of my clients that I train have tried it! Nino before you say anything about it I brought some sugar-free goodies today, for you to check out and tell me what you think about them! Ok my friend I promise you that I won’t say a word about the diet. until I look at the sugar-free goodies you brought for me to look at!
Gee thanks Nino! Nino I just know that your going to like all of the goodies, because there all 100% sugar-free and healthy for you! Ok my friend so what’s in the bag? Ok Nino first I have sugar-free flavored oatmeal, next I have sugar-free strawberry yogurt, and last but not least a sugar-free candy bar! Gee my friend I’ll be totally honest with you I love my oatmeal, but I never heard of there being sugar-free flavored oatmeal before until now!
Yeah Nino isn’t great! Gee Nino now you can add some flavor to your plain oatmeal and the best part of it all, you don’t have to worry about the sugar because it’s absolutely sugar-free! Ok Nino now you can tell me what you think about this sugar-free diet that I’m so excited, to be on and I’m hoping that you’ll want to do it with me as well! Well my friend before I give you an answer to your question, I believe you’ve done it once again!
Gee Nino why do I have a strong feeling that once again I just came up, with our next topic of discussion today! Well my friend you couldn’t be more right with that feeling! My friend let me first say before I go any further, I’m just amazed how you continue to help me come up with our topics of discussion without you even knowing half the time! My friend it’s like I’ve been telling you since the beginning! My friend! God certainly knew what he was doing when he brought us together! My friend you’ve contributed so much in regards in helping me come up with all these important topics, of discussion each and every week so far that many people in our society need help in today!
Ok my friend that being said again, let’s get back to the business at hand! Well my friend I guess it’s no surprise on what our next topic of discussion is about! Gee Nino let me take a wild guess! Ok my friend go for it! Well Nino just like a couple weeks back when you gave me your thoughts on the fat-free diet that I was on, now it’s time for you to do the same with this sugar-free diet that I’m on as well! Gee my friend you deserve another gold star because your absolutely right!
Gee Nino since I’m on a roll here today let me take another wild guess, and say that I’m about to receive another lesson on diets! Gee my friend your going to be taking all of my gold stars today, I think we better to our discussion before I run out of stars to give you!
Ok Nino I’m ready for you to give me your thoughts now, on this sugar-free diet that I’m on! Gee Nino why do I have a strong feeling that this diet is going to be, short lived for me as well!
Well my friend only time will tell, if that holds true for you once again!
My friend! Are you ready for me to give you a sugar rush?
Yeah Nino why not!
Great my friend because I’m about to put some…. sugar back in your diet!
Here we go again!
My friend let me first start off today by saying to you that I’m not at all, trying to discourage you from continuing to be on this sugar-free diet! My friend all I’m doing is simply giving you my thoughts on the diet! Gee Nino I know that and let me just say that I’ve taken every advice that you’ve given me, in regards to my diet so far and used it because I’ve seen tremendous results with my physique so far!! Nino furthermore whatever advice you give me today on this sugar-free diet that I’m on, you can be assured that I’m definitely going to take it!
My friend thanks for sharing that with me! Well actually my friend I’ve learned alot about dieting myself through a very close personal friend of mine Mark Cambria, he was the one who helped me with my pre-contest diet! My friend Mark took the time to literally sit down with me and he wrote down how each day of my diet was going to look to a tee and let me add he did it freely!
My friend in all the bodybuilding contests that I’ve done in the past I never had anybody, help me in the way that Mark did I owe him greatly! Gee Nino I wish I could say the same for “me”! My friend if it wasn’t for Mark’s expertise in pre-contest diets there was no way I would have been able, to look as good as I did at my last bodybuilding show I did back in June of 2006! My friend actually Mark was responsible for alot more, than just helping me with my diet! My friend furthermore Mark along with his wife Vanessa who you read about in my story, who trained me for the show are both a huge reason why I’m able to talk to you week after week here!
Gee Nino are Mark and Vanessa the “special” people that you’ve been talking about to me, from time to time? Yeah my friend they certainly are and your going to know alot more about in how they both helped me tremendously, in making my dream to help people around the globe a reality! My friend also along with another ”special” friend of mine Tom Venuto that we’re going to be talking about next time!
Gee Nino I can hardly wait!
Well my friend that being said lets get to my take, on this so called sugar-free diet shall we!
Ok Nino I have pad and pen ready!
Awesome my friend!
Ok my friend I’m going to make this short and sweet today, and get right to the point! My friend just like the fat-free diet, there is absolutely no such thing today in foods being sugar-free! Furthermore my friend just like we need the proper amount of fats in our diets today, many people are unaware that we need the proper amount of sugar as well! Gee Nino hold on a minute I remember you telling me awhile back, to stay away from eating foods that are high in sugar because it will be turned into fat!
My friend your absolutely correct with that statement, I certainly do remember telling you that! Well my friend I have some news for you! Gee Nino I had a feeling you were going to say that again to me! Nino what’s the news? Well my friend believe or not this sugar-free diet that you’ve been on is loaded with artificial sugars, that your body definitely does not need because it wll eventually be turned into fat!
Gee Nino wait a minute here are you trying to funny here, because everything that I’ve been eating the products say that there 100% sugar-free! Well my friend I understand that but if you read the ingredients in these sugar-free products, I almost will guarantee you that their replacing it with three artificial types of sugars that many people are unaware of!
Gee Nino if you don’t mind me asking…. what are these three types of artificial sugars called? My friend I’m very glad that you asked me that simply because I will almost guarantee you again of this! My friend the sugar-free oatmeal, yogurt, and candy bar that you brought today for me to check out will have one of these artificial sugars in their ingredients!
Ok my friend! Are you ready to write these artificial sugars down?
Yeah Nino because I’m definitely going to check if the products that I brought today, contain any of these three artificial sugars that your about to tell me! Ok my friend here they are! Well my friend let’s see there’s splenda, aspartame, and sugar alcohol! Ok my friend let’s see if your sugar-free oatmeal, yogurt and candy bar has one of these artificial sugars that I just named off to you!
Ok Nino the oatmeal says that it’s sweetened with splenda!
Ok my friend how about the yogurt
Ok Nino the yogurt says it’s sweetened with aspartame!
Gee Nino so far your two for two!
Ok my friend last but not least how about the candy bar?
Gee Nino it looks like your three for three because the candy bar, is sweetened with sugar alcohols just like you said!
Gee Nino I’ll be totally honest with you this sugar-free diet is becoming a little bit to sweet for me to continue! Nino I have to hand it to you again it’s like I’ve been telling you since we’ve been getting together week after week! Nino which is simply you know how to put things in the right context, to where anyone would not want to continue doing something that is probably not a good idea for them to continue on doing!
Gee my friend it sounds to me that I’ve convinced you that diets today, are really not free of what they say they are…… this one in particular being sugar! Gee Nino now I definitely think that you deserve a gold star today for educating me once again, on another one of these so called free diets that are out there today! Nino if I learned anything today on diets being free, it’s that just because they say it’s free of something doesn’t mean that it’s necessarily healthy!
Gee Nino could I ask you one more question….before we call it a day?
My friend absolutely! What’s on your mind?
Well Nino you said earlier that we need to have sugar in our diets today! My friend that’s absolutely correct! Ok Nino then what kind of sugars should I be having in my diet? My friend thanks for asking me that because I certainly wasn’t going to leave today without helping you figure that out!
Ok my friend I would reccommend that you try to eat more of the simple natural sugars like for example fruit, all natural fruit jam and stay away from artificial sugars as you found out today! Gee Nino thanks! My friend it’s my pleasure! Hey Nino what do you say I treat you to an “All Natural Strawberry Fruit Smoothy”? Gee my friend now your talking my langauge…. let’s go get fruity!!!
