I am with you 100% of the way. Ironically, I started South Beach on January 1st and as I began reading labels and looking for lower sugar (as the plan suggests) it just evolved naturally into no sugar. I am
not saying that South Beach is no sugar! However, it seemed like the more that I removed sugar and, of course, its other "pals" like white flour and processed, packaged foods, the less I needed it and actually the less I wanted it. If someone would have told me that I would be saying this six months ago, I would have told them are you sure you are talking about me???
I realized that if you make it from scratch, when you can, you do have
a choice about whether to add sugar or not.
And, I chose not to!
The more I do this, the more I swear I am finding products "out there" to support my choice. It is amazing!
I agree with
blue, after you have been away from the taste of sugar a couple of things happen 1) you can almost immediately taste sugar in whatever you take the first bite of 2) without it, almost all of my cravings for extra food disappear---pouf, gone!!
I think, this is a great idea, and I hope we can keep this going strong.
Thanks, again, Jen415!! You rock!!
