Hello everyone, I am creating this blog to share my struggles, victories, ideas, and progress as I give up sugar for a year. Now you are probably thinking to yourself that it cant be done... well 4 years ago myself and my cousin were living proof that it is possible to live without sugar for a whole year. Four years ago my mother came to me with a proposition. She told me that if I gave up sugar for a year she would reward me with 100$! Whoa! yeah I would have been a fool to turn that challenge down.
The deal was that I couldn't eat any processed sugar for the next year, which meant no ice cream, cake, cookies, candy (of any kind), and anything that contained more that 4g of sugar. On a happier note I was allowed to eat all of the "Natural" sugar I wanted, which meant I could have fruit (any kind), milk, honey, pure maple syrup, 100% juice, and some products that contained artificial sweeteners **sigh** what a relief :).
By now I am sure you are asking what happened after the year was over?? Well... I went right back to eating sugar and am now more addicted to it than I ever was before, which is why I have chosen to rid myself of the awful stuff again :) Thus begins the adventure. So now as I march forward I will share fun "no sugar" recipes, ideas, and encouragement to anyone who is willing to start this adventure with me.
Another Year with no sugar... bring it on :)!
