30 Days San Sugar

I kept telling myself I'm going to do this. And now...I'm doing it! I'm going to go 30 days without sugar. My rules? No sweets/treats or anything with more than 6 grams of sugar in the ingredients. I am allowing myself all fruits and that will be the sweetest thing in my diet. Let's see how this goes. I got inspired by watching Oprah and seeing that Jenny McCarthy is doing this as well. Yes, I know, I watch Oprah and do lots of things because of her show, but hey, a lot of what she suggests to read and do are quite positive! Gotta get inspired somewhere!!
I will blog on here for the next 30 days to keep me inspired!!

Day One: Today is easy as I'm still excited. We'll see how tomorrow goes. I only added a tiny bit of vanilla to my latte this morning. It's technically sugar free, but I want to get off of fake sugar too. Tomorrow, no vanilla!!

Question: Should agave nectar and Stevia be off my list too?? Not sure yet....

Good luck on that. :) I quit the vanilla in my coffee about six months ago, and now if I have it it tastes way too sweet.

Oprah is about to be banned in my house. Many of her shows seem to create too much anxiety for my pregnancy hormones. Chris is getting pissed at Oprah.

Maybe I should just stick to the fluff shows and avoid the health/economy/problems-with-children shows.

Good for you girl! I have often thought about doing this because I eat way too much sugar and it is so bad for you.

If I were you I would avoid all sweeteners and go cold turkey for now. Just to get it out of your system so you lose the taste for it.

As a rule, I personally avoid anything that is sweetened artificially. I don't know anything about stevia though!
