Week Eight Is Here!

I made it!  After 8 weeks of no sugar, I have detoxed and reset my body, and I feel great! Re-introduction is now my next journey. I don’t want to go back to the sugar addict I was but I also don’t want to be crazy about sugar-free. Its finding the healthy balance that works for me.

Things I have learned in the past 58 days:

1. Read your labels! I really focus on the ingredients list. I make sure there is zero sugar in processed goods I purchases like peanut butter and unsweetened ketchup.

2. Eat good fats to keep you full and satisfied like avocados, olive oil, coconut butter, and ghee.

3. I have learned to love cooking and trying new recipes. I used to be scared to fail in the kitchen. Thank god my husband eats everything.

4. I LOVE EGGS!

5. I can make really good chocolate at home for when I need my chocolate fix.

6. Thai food is full of sugar, so now my go-to is Indian and its oh so good!

7. Small amounts of raw unpasteurized cheese doesn’t make me gassy or bloated, so I can enjoy it every now and then.

8. I am still on the fence about Brown Rice Syrup due to its glycemic index number fluctuation.

9. I have amazing will power! I have sat at many dinner tables and said no to dessert. 

10. I am very happy being mostly sugar free and I will try very hard to stay this way
