My wife and I decided to make this week a sugar free one. I don't live on a diet of sodas and gummy bears but I thought it might be informative to have a week without sugar to see what I have to give up. To clarify I'm not eating processed sugar and high fructose corn syrup but still eating honey and natural sugars found in fruit, milk, and other everyday foods.
So far it has been pretty easy- though substituting honey in my coffee will end along with my week of no sugar. I eat sandwiches all the time and a quick glance at ingredients showed I needed a new bread for the week and the mayo and Dijon are out. My sandwich today was turkey, avocado, Havarti, and dill pickle on whole wheat bread. Pretty good actually but missing the tang from mustard.
A crucial factor in making things go smoothly this week is the fact that I finished all the Girl Scout Thin Mints and cannot be tempted every time I open the freezer where they are stashed. By the way if you have not tried eating your Thin Mints straight from the freezer it is the way to go.
My updates soon...
