Holy moly. For the next 21 days I've waved an imaginary hand to sugar. In addition to not eating sugar, I've decided to cut out starchy things too, which I guess I would pretty much do with no sugar. It's halfway through the day, and I'm feeling great. I did have a blunder at breakfast when I went to Starbucks to meet a client, and I ordered an egg and chicken sausage wrap. I My Fitness Pal-ed the food item and found that it had 7 grams of sugar. So minus that slip up I'm fueled by a passion iced tea (unsweet, of course) and tons of water. I'm about to eat one scrambled egg and some fruit. Oh yeah, fruit sugars are allowed; it's just the ick that's in processed foods that is cut out, and I suppose no sugar in my tea either, but I never did that anyway.
For some reason I expected my body to fall apart or at least be rebellious if I took sugar away. Instead, I think it's thanking me. I would describe my current mood as bouncy, and I've brushed away negativity all morning. But who knows, maybe today was just supposed to be a happy day for me.
If you're curious about how to try this 3 week lifestyle/health change check out this book. I say book because they are usually more comprehensive than websites. AND you cannot replace the lovely new page smell from books with a computer screen thingy.
I am considering posting my measurements at the end of every week so I can track body changes. I don't know what to expect, so here's hoping for some magic!
Try this. Your mood will thank you (and the people you normally go cranky monster on will thank you too),
