In reply to Brenda. It's amazing how our tastes change when we eat well! Sugar is definitely not the best fuel for our bodies either, it's true.

I have recently found the same thing. Now, when I backslide occasionally, any sweetish food is too sweet. I was a chocoholic but now I eat a couple of squares of 70% cocoa chocolate either in the afternoon or evening (note that this is an either/or thing) and this satisfies me fine. I was constantly suffering from severe fatigue, breathlessness and pain but the change in my diet has caused such a great improvement. A friend of mine often says that sugar is toxic. I think she is right.

I’m soooooo guilty of turning to sugar for a “quick energy boost” that inevitably leaves me feeling worse off when I started after the crash. Thanks for a reminder of several foods I actually love and some new ones I need to work into my diet more. I’m hoping to make September a month of better physical health for me, so this is very timely!

In reply to Mary. That's really awesome that you've been able to be sugar free for 2 years! Joseph and I tried it for just under a month. He thinks it just about killed him. :)

Sugar-free in our home. I find a huge salad (heavy on the greens with just a drizzle of extra virgin olive oil) gives me energy. I love growing our own greens and getting to eat them literally a minute or two after harvesting them. Raw Fit is a protein powder that makes me zoom too. I found the most economical way to get it is to subscribe on Amazon. The taste isn’t great (it’s not terrible either) but it gets me over that late afternoon slump when I really, really want a candy bar.

We’ve been sugar free for years. Two interesting side effects – dental cavities and gum disease just stopped and neither DH nor I have had a cold in years. We just stopped getting sick.

My diet is rich in 6 out of the 10 foods you presented 🙂 I eat at least 1 banana a day, cook broccoli and spinach almost weekly, I prefer chicken when it comes to meat and I eat eggs and yogurt almost on a daily basis. I still drink the occasional soda but I try to drink as much water as possible instead of sugary drinks.
