crave and want!
TO SUM UP:
some sugar in with a few fruits, in touch with my taste buds and see what my body actually wants. I feel much more in control of
I so my food choices and what I put into my body and that is what I really wanted to get out of this. I
the am also much more aware of which foods have sugar. I look forward to continue learning what

- Watch documentaries and read articles on why sugar is bad, it will totally get you motivated!
My favorites are the documentaries Fed Up and The Secrets of Sugar.
- Meet the 9 C’s! These are 9 snacking alternatives to sugary treats: chia seeds, cacao, chai tea,
coconut oil, coconut water, coffee, cheese, chicken, cinnamon. These have helped a lot!
- I’ve been crowding out and staying busy when a craving kicks in, running errands or taking a
hot bath to get my mind off of it!
- I have been making my lunch every day and eating at hom. I think this is the key to staying
healthy and eating only pure, real foods. Instead of meeting friends for dinner or lunch I can
meet them for coffee, tea, a walk, so it is making me get more creative!
