i have given up refined sugar for 100 days as of the new year

it's rather hard to find foodstuff that has no refined sugar. i am eating honey though. and all naturally occurring sugars in fruit etc are ok.

day 2 was the worst. i felt light headed and empty but apart from that it's so far so good

i've also taken to long grain brown rice. it's so delicious and is a lot lighter than white rice which i find is gluggy and i always feel sicky after eating it

i also found this amazing natural peanut butter which tastes exactly like the real thing without the guilt

wish me luck

i tried giving up sugar in november, and i was doing pretty well, no cravings or anything
then christmas came along, didnt it. and i said, "well, it IS christmas" and ate sugary christmas treats with reckless abandon
and now i keep having fucking chocolate cravings.

and i agree, it is really really hard to find stuff that doesn't have SOME sugar in it

what kind of peanut butter. i fucking love that stuff. i could eat a whole jar if i wanted to. but you know, it's only 190 calories per 2 teaspoons or so. maybe it's tablespoons? either way, not a lot

cool, good luck! I have been wanting to cut down on my refined sugar intake, as well as additives, meat and dairy. It means I am going to be doing alot of cooking from scratch.
