| Not my lunch. Ha. I’m still off fruit for another week. |
So here I am. Lucky I scheduled that outfit post for Saturday morning. I was last properly on my computer Friday before we went out to hockey to watch my Mum, Sis, SIL and Cousin Bec’s team play the ladies final. I’m like their number one fan. I go and cheer and shout. I love having it as a place to go. Without the commitment to be there every week. Oh. What? You wanted to know how they went!? WELL, they won actually. Wooot. In extra time, actually. All very dramatic.
So, here I am heading swiftly towards my first week of my Sugar Free Suger project. I have found a ridiculous amount of things that I can eat. Only really realising today that there are things I can’t have, at all, full stop. Like, say, for example KFC. Haha.
All the items I eat have less than 3grams of sugar per 100grams. Dairy products up to 8grams is allowable because of the lactose {which is more easier converted by the body}. I haven’t broken this rule once since starting. I’ve turned down items I can’t read the packet of. And I’ve found alternatives for almost everything I LIKE to eat.
The other day Hubby and I enjoyed a broccoli, bacon, mushroom pasta {1grm} using only sour cream as a stir through {0.2grms}. All main meals have flown by. No issues with alternatives. Breakfasts I find hard. But I located a wholemeal bread at Aldi with 1.5grams of sugar. So while I am trying to limit the intake of these items {due to my focus being weight loss, not maintenance} I’ve gotten used to a slice of toast with fresh tomato or cheese {less than 1gram} or an egg.
I thought food choices would beat me. I really did. I’ve done low carb before. It almost killed me. But this, is much more reasonable as a lifestyle, less restrictive and I feel just as light. It’s remarkable actually. The food I eat is fresh, hardy and real. I fill quickly. Eat less. And crave virtually nothing. I miss apples. I could have one but have decided to stick to my initial plan of two weeks, no fruit and really low sugars {limiting the sugars from anything with a label to under 2grm}.
The thing is, I never thought I would become an activist of sorts. But after my experience giving up. The headaches, the nausea, the fogginess, I’m not sure that I wouldn’t highly recommend everyone give this a go. It concerns me. I am devouring everything I can find on the subject. Reading, reading, reading. Is this the cause of our generations health and well being issues? What will be the impacts we haven’t seen yet?
All I know is that I feel well, clear headed and my skin is clearing {after massive break outs}. I sleep better and digest food quickly and without issue. I want to exercise and have. I am no longer sluggish or irritable. It can’t be a coincidence, right!? And tomorrow it will be 7days. Such a short amount of time. Tiny. Really.
So I’ve got one word for you.
WOW.
