Hey guys--
I belong on the vegan/vegetarian & calorie counters sections of 3fatchicks.com ... but recently, I find that I've had to really cut down on my junk food intake and take up more carbs/protein/veggies in order to keep my energy up
And I actually feel quite a lot better as a result.
I switched over to stevia instead of brown sugar for tea, munch on celery as a snack instead of tic tacs or gum, and eat plain oatmeal (with some stevia) for dessert-- While I still have some dark chocolate on a weekly basis and/or some rice cakes that are butter-flavored or caramel glazed as a snack... I'm definitely finding out that tic tacs for example, taste WAY too sugary for me now.
I'm waiting on my copy of SugarBusters to come in my neighborhood library, so I don't know the exact science of how this program works. I understand cutting out refined sugars and flour (i.e. white breads, regular potatoes, etc)-- but what else am I missing here?
I noticed something in another SugarBuster entry about a certain amount of grams of sugar to watch out for?
Anyone have a sticky on the essentials of the SugarBuster diet posted somewhere?
Thanks!
