Low to NO sugar.

Without getting into all the mumbo jumbo and rationale behind cutting sugar, let me just say i have been inspired by some reading i have been doing (and the experiences of friends) of late i have been removing some more sugars from our diets. I think it is unreasonable and too regimented for us casual Sims' to put a ban on sugar! but i can remove all the extras. i have been keeping our sugar (especially fructose) down to 4-6 serves (teaspoons) a day (this includes two serves of fruit) and for me coffee is the biggest culprit, if i didn't have coffee, i would only have 2ish serves of the nasty stuff a day. I just cant do coffee without sugar, and i cant get out of bed in the morning, unless that familiar smell is wafting through the air!! eheh

This has been ridiculously easy actually, i think because i am already in control of so much of the families food intake. Low to no sugar is definitely something i can live by, and have not had any cravings per se, and no complaints from the kids either. Nope, i tell a lie, i got a complaint when i said no more tomato sauce. But they are excited about making their own sauces soon.......just waiting for the 'mah-toes' to grow is painstaking when you are little ;) I think they appreciate their sweet 'party food' too when they have the chance-at parties- funnily enough!!

I'm enjoying not being a slave to the beast that is sugar cravings, and I'm a lot less bloated among other things, and i am enjoying more flavorful food!!!
