Be Sugar Free in August (read all 4 entries…)
The rules for the August 17 months ago

sugar free challenge allow for two slices of birthday cake, one on Mr. Wren’s birthday and one on mine.

But I also reserve the right to eat no birthday cake at all!

define, please

whaddya mean by ‘sugar free’? Like, processed sugar or are you excluding natural sugar too (like fruit)?

I'm talking about refined sugar.

A piece of fruit is perfectly fine for me.

goody

that sounds like an awesome challenge to undertake, and one month is also such a do-able amount of time.

After posting my question I walked away to putter about the house, thinking about that task and thought “no problem, I don’t eat a lot of sugar stuff anymore”. But then before I knew it I wanted some irish cream in the coffee that I was having with a peanut butter/jelly sandwich.

The obvious stuff (like candy bars) would be kinda easy for me to give up, it’s the other stuff I don’t think of as sugar that will give me the hardest time.

This would tie in so well with the other heath goals I have going…. thank you for the inspiration, I think I’ll commit to doing this for October.

In the meantime I’ll be on the sidelines cheering YOU on!!

Good for you!

Yes, I found that taking it on for one month was not too overwhelming. Kind of like a trial period to see how it goes.

Have you tried agave?

All sugars are not created equal (and Equal is not a valid sweetener, IMHO)

But agave makes a very nice sweetener, as does apple juice.

Sorry if I’m repeating a bunch of stuff already here – I confess I did not read through the entries in the goal….

Oh, I appreciate the input.

I’ve actually never heard of agave, but now I’m off to do some research.

Trader Joe's has it

agave syrup

It’s great in drinks in place of simple syrup.
