Beyond Sugar: Week Three Check-In
Woo! We’re on the third week of going without natural or refined sweeteners (Beyond Sugar Challenge)… is that possible? Before we started, I wondered how we’d (okay, how I’d) ever get through it! This post will be somewhat like a diary entry, okay? I’m just going to write my reflections of how it is going so far.
Beyond Sugar: Overcoming the Withdrawal Symptoms of Going Without Sugar
If you’re a regular sugar eater, whether the sweeteners are natural or refined, and you are cutting back or going cold-turkey, expect to experience some withdrawal symptoms. But you can overcome! Our family is in the midst of a 30-day no-sugar challenge. Since now I’ve been through this, the toughest few days of breaking a sugar-addiction, I’m in a good position to share my strategy and what has worked for me to make it through the hardest period. It’s all downhill from here!
Basic Spelt Crackers (Sprouted)
I am sharing this cracker recipe as part of Real Food Wednesdays (hosted by Kelly the Kitchen Kop and Cheeseslave). My family has vowed to give up sweeteners – refined and natural – during the month of May. So we need some other snacks on hand, instead of the cookies and muffins that usually sit on the counter.
Beyond Sugar: Snack Ideas
Today, I want to talk about a big challenge my family faces in going Beyond Sugar – snacks. What to eat when we’re used to turning to a cookie, or muffin, or dried fruit? In this post, I share my ideas – and I need your help to add more ideas.
The “Beyond Sugar” Challenge
With all the reading I’ve been doing lately about sugars — natural included — a nagging feeling settled over me that no matter what “natural” sugar I choose to eat myself and/or feed my family, we’re eating too much. For the next 30 days, my family is completely eliminating all sweeteners (natural or refined). Please join us and spread the word!
