Xylitol
Life without sugar is interestingly different. You find that sugar does indirectly make you sleepy, and that sugar in the diet begets sugar in the diet.
The ping-pong has changed a lot at school. Another former teacher has been welcomed back to the fold, and he was very good at ping-pong. It took him two days to get his form back. The day before he really got back into it I thrashed him 5-1. Then things changed as he dismantled everyone else, camping at one end of the ping-pong table. Getting him into a doubles match and pairing him with a weaker partner was the best way to supplant him. I played him on Friday afternoon and managed to valiantly lose 3-6, with many defeats that had me struggling to get passed 10 (in first to 21 matches).

Are you eating xylitol? I had to look that one up on dictionary.com. It describes it a sugar substitute used in oral health products?
What is the purpose of your experiment?
I am putting xylitol in my tea instead of normal sugar, as well as on my cereal in the morning.
It is an experiment to see if I feel any more tired later in the day or suddenly requiring chocolate to keep me going. Seeing as I didn't buy any additional chocolate last week, I would say that is a success. I usually hanker for it after 3pm.
I had a fair bit of chocolate today (for the walkathon! what an excuse to eat chocolate) and feel rather tired now. Maybe it is the sugar withdrawal or maybe it is the 24 kms...
What? Buy Tramadol? OK, I will! Is that reverse-psychology spam? And each shortcut a different link.
I am not sure whether to delete it or to keep it as a memento of my first spam on a blog.
Whoa! That's cool, weird and disturbing at the same time.
I don't know what xylitol is, but have you tried Splenda in your tea? Works for me... --K.
