Can't wait to try these. Thanks for sharing.<BR/><BR/>Frenchy-<BR/>Thanks for the links. I will check them out.<BR/><BR/>Rebecca-<BR/>Good books about sugar are really inspiring to me, too. If I ever feel out of control I love picking up a book that will remind me why I should abstain.<BR/><BR/>Tobias-<BR/>Thanks! I hope you find a way to cut down on sugar that can be a lifelong plan. It was easy for me in the past to go a week or two at a time without sugar, thinking I could never cut it out completely, but now I have hope to KEEP it out since I made it a year. It's easier for me to declare things in small increments--which for me now is one year at a time.<BR/><BR/>Interested to know what you decide to do/how far you take this!My Year Withouthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17290085498074393110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-23026018787049619082009-02-04T22:47:00.000-08:002009-02-04T22:47:00.000-08:00Hey there!

I read your blog, and I must say that I think if a person can cut out sugar from their diet, they probably have enough determination to do just about anything indeed!<BR/><BR/>I have decided to follow your idea a bit, although I am not sure to what degree quite yet. I <A HREF="http://tobiasdavis.blogspot.com/2009/02/my-battle-with-sugar-has-begun.html" REL="nofollow">blogged</A> about it, and some other reasons why (health issues: a friend told me to shape up or be hospitalized!)<BR/><BR/>Thanks for doing the (seemingly) impossible!Tobias Davishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13250201084632606182noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-67257783269317644672009-02-02T21:43:00.000-08:002009-02-02T21:43:00.000-08:00After reading The Sugar Solution by Sari Harrar, I...After reading The Sugar Solution by Sari Harrar, I have started looking at sugar in a whole new way. Old habits and tastes die hard though, and the stress I have had in my life the past week has made me crave more sugar, and made it hard to resist. However, the knowledge about sugar and how to cut back on it easily has already changed some habits and purchases, and I know that with time, I will be a low-sugar consumer. :) <BR/><BR/>Best of luck with this endeavor! I will be following your progress for sure!Beccahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02706544792110129160noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-4671351837109942052009-02-02T12:39:00.000-08:002009-02-02T12:39:00.000-08:00Reading your post regarding sugar was fascinating....Reading your post regarding sugar was fascinating. You're right; Americans certainly love their sugar! Breakfast, lunch and dinner – they all contain sugar! I've practiced for 15 years, and I can vouch for the love affair between Americans and that refined white stuff! Try to get them to reduce or completely cut it out of their diets, though, and you're in for a challenge. However, I'm up to that challenge, and that's why I created my 'kick-the-sugar-program' at 7DaySugarFree Diet.com http://www.7DaySugarFreeDiet.com. This program has been successful in my efforts to help hundreds of people achieve better health. Cutting sugar out of the diet is only one part of my goal however; follow me on my quest to help everyone interested in weight loss, healthy diets and optimal physical health by visiting my blog at HealthLady.com http://www.HealthLady.com, where you'll find tons of information on good eating and good health. <BR/><BR/>Best Regards<BR/><BR/>NancyUnknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17360555781425547033noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2743655253913703801.post-63231417349458123792009-02-02T09:47:00.000-08:002009-02-02T09:47:00.000-08:00Yes, we have become desensitized - it's hard to be...Yes, we have become desensitized - it's hard to be moved by people we do now know. <BR/><BR/>I've been reading your blog for a while and it has inspired me to find other ways to get my sweet-tooth satisfied without actually eating crack (sugar). <BR/><BR/>So... I wanted to share a few things I found absolutely mind-blowingly delicious and healthy.<BR/><BR/>So my favorite is taking raw almonds, chopping them up in a blender, mixing raw honey (which has a more paste consistency) or regular honey and cardamom all together and making little balls out of it. Trust me. This is heaven. I also like taking cashew butter and mixing it with raw honey and cardamom or any other nut butter. <BR/><BR/>Also, just cardamom mixed with raw honey is super delicious. <BR/><BR/>try it and let me know what you think,2024https://www.blogger.com/profile/02129610135549561920noreply@blogger.com
