And I am not a happy camper. I'm grumpy and every brown thing I see reminds me of chocolate goodness. So what's the reason for my self imposed hell?
As of Monday my husband and I decided to be sugar free. He's diabetic and not doing so hot in the blood sugar levels. He decided to go on a strict diet to get it under control. So to be a good wifey I thought I would offer to join him in his saccharin exile. Stupid me.
I'm hoping this is just a phase. That after a few days I'll have more energy, and fewer headaches.
So I am asking you the reader, what are your sugar free snack smart tips? Will I survive?
One of my kids is off sugar with me right now. She's having a harder time than I am, but it's a cranky-making prospect some days. We love smoothies, and we don't count fruit as sugar. So I have a bunch of fruit in the freezer, and a ton of canned fruit in the pantry. (Pineapple is canned in juice, and I recently found that mandarin oranges, peaches, and pears can be, too. Yay for case-lot sales!) Also Mountain High plain yoghurt adds some longer-lasting business to a smoothie. (It's not delicious on its own, but inside a smoothie, not bad.)
