Whew all this food tracking is getting old! Can’t wait until I hit 30-days and can quit trying to record everything I eat!

This comment was posted today and I thought I would reply to it in a post in case others were interested:
Just came across your blog and i am curious, why no HFCS? I think everything in moderation is ok but why did you choose to give it up?
A: I actually fully agree with the “everything in moderation” approach to life. I may not give up HFCS forever, but I wanted to challenge myself to see how removing this item from diet for 30-days would affect me.
I am half-way thru this challenge and so far I have found the removal of HFCS to have very little impact on my diet and lifestyle. I have stopped eating out for lunch regularly because I am more cautious about eating items with ingredients I am unsure of. Other than that though – I did not find a substantial number of products in our home with HFCS in them. Nor do I tend to eat processed foods with any frequency. Nor do I drink sodas. By simply not including most processed foods and sodas in my lifestyle, my exposure to HFCS is automatically lowered.
So to be sure I fully answer your question – I am removing it for now as an experiment. In the longterm I will most likely continue limiting my exposure to it because I believe its affect on human health is quite negative. Moderation is the key and healthy choices when possible.
I hope that answers your question – but if not please let me know. And thanks for your comment!

WOW I am behind! We have been really busy sorting things around the house and trying to declutter so I was preoccupied with that over the weekend.
