"What are little girls made of? Sugar and spice and everything nice, that's what little girls are made of" goes the nursery rhyme. Well, this week in Experiment #2 (removing sugar from my diet) THIS little girl has been made of bread, bran bars and beer. Those were the things I may have over-consumed in an attempt to compensate for the lack of sugar.
I wish I had a revelation to report about how my sugar cravings are gone and I will never consume the drat substance again! Alas, it is not so. I will say that while I am far from willing to give up sugar and sweets, I did ponder the notion that perhaps I could cut back. And after not eating ONE sugary morsel all week, I know this is something that I can achieve. While I missed sugar this week, I did not miss the tired, sometimes yucky feeling that comes from consuming too much of the sweet stuff. I think this thought will keep me motivated and I will be less apt to overindulge.
Except for tomorrow morning's breakfast which I already have planned out: chocolate milk and an Aero bar.
Oh my god if you eat an Aero Bar and chocolate milk you will be sick after not eating sugar all week!!! Let me know how it goes..lol..how about mixing chocolate protein powder with plain yogurt? It might satisfy the craving..lol...p.s.when I crave something sweet I drink a large glass of lemon water..it works sometimes..Can't wait to see what next weeks experiment is all about!
ReplyDeleteI just had the Aero bar and chocolate milk. It was delish! No ill side effects...yet. :-)
