Sugar free? I could never do that! I've made that announcement many times but then, I have to question why. Why do I think that I can't live without sugar? Our bodies don't actually need sugar to function whereas fat is an important part of our development. Why do we give our kids full fat foods? For brain development! At what age did we decide that our brains come second to our shape? but, sugar is addictive, the biscuits, the cakes. The chocolate bars. They are the drug dealers skulking in the corner of every supermarket and newspaper shop. They whisper "come and buy me, you know you want me..."
I've been feeling tired, sluggish. I ache all over and have done a little research. On the internet. Because we all know that the internet always tells the facts... Right? ;-)
My research all said GIVE UP THE SUGAR! LOSE IT BABY! And so, I've decided to dedicate 3 months to living sugar free. But I need some rules right? So, I'm talking about refined sugar, I'm talking about pre-packaged foods with sugar added. Fruit is allowed, honey is allowed but the rest is all gone.
Well, as of tomorrow!
And I'll come here to report how I feel as the time goes along, if it's made a difference and if I can make it!
