My friend, Mel, and I have been working together to push refined sugar out of our diets. We started this two weeks ago yesterday and are still going strong. I've noticed some interesting things throughout the process.
1. It was not as hard as I thought it would be. Going sugar-free in the summer is definitely the way to do it since there are so many yummo fruits available this time of the year.
2. Once I got past the first couple of days, any cravings I was having were gone. G.O.N.E. I am an ice cream lover, and though I am sure I still love, love, love it...(it's only been 2 weeks after all) I have passed it up and haven't really been craving it like I usually do.
3. In addition to the sugar cravings, the salt cravings are also gone.
4. There are so many sugar-free options for yummy stuff. SF pudding is probably my fav. I know that people will argue that sugar is better for you than the fake stuff, but seriously? Right now (for me) I needed to detox...so it's working for me!
5. You can go to restaurants (including Golden Corral) and not hog down. That's right - you can order good for you food at restaurants...who knew? (certainly not me judging by previous eating out adventures)
So - those are some of the things I've noticed right off the top. I'm not saying I'll never eat sugar again, but it certainly has made a difference in the way I see food right now.
