After a long hiatus I am finally back online.
I have never been a big sugar eater. The sugar quantities in my recipes are always at the lowest they can be. But at the beginning of the year I decided to ditch it totally.
I read somewhere that sugar eats your cells and makes you look older – oh vanity you will say! Big, big times. Who doesn’t like to be told they look younger than they are? Ladies??
Going under the knife freaks the hell out of me so I’m going down the natural way of keeping my youth. Well, one can hope.
I also found that ditching the sugar kept my own sugar levels in check. No more slump afternoons for me. I really like being on the go.
So ‘you don’t eat sweet things anymore?’ I hear you ask. I still do but even less than before. I have replaced the stuff with palm sugar, agave syrup, fructose and freedom sweet. All low GI. (You can find them in your local health store, supermarket or the internet depending on where you are on this planet.)
For those who still want to eat the stuff – though you really should think about quitting – I will now put both in my recipes so you can choose which one you want. But do give the sugar alternative a go as you will feel so much better after and your conscious will thank you for it as your waist. J
Hope you enjoy these new recipes.
