    I benefit greatly when I cut added sugars out of my diet.

    I was onto the "reduce/remove added sugar" band wagon long before I ever read anything or watched anything on it. I just know what i feel. Is it that way for everyone?? We wouldn't know unless everyone cuts it out.

    today was not a good day.. Added sugar all over the place in my diary.. And I am suffering for it. :sick:

    It's hard to become aware of how different foods make you feel/affect you without actually removing them for a while and then paying attention when you add them back in. Too much added sugar makes me cranky & fatigued. After cutting out added sugar for 30 days, I also find that a lot of foods that have sugar added are way too sweet for my palette now. It also allowed me to enjoy other tastes differently. For example, plain almonds are actually quite sweet. I had no idea.

    So are carrots :) It is the best way to see. Maybe it's science and there is no real difference. Maybe science knows nothing of the true affects food has on a body. All I know is what occurs when I eat it versus when I don't.
