So, I cheated. Everything was going along fine, no cravings, lost a few pounds even. But one day I just *had* to have some dark chocolate (PMS rears its ugly head). So I had some dark chocolate (85 percent, so little sugar added). A little was fine. I was careful to notice: did it make [...]

SO! I began The Great Sugar Detox yesterday (Monday), and so far, so good. I’m a desserts on the weekend kinda gal, and even then I try to choose gluten and/or dairy free sweets, sticking only to my dark chocolate during the weeks.

I admit it. I have a sweet tooth. Big time. Ever since I was a kid, I took after my dad, who also loves the sweets. I’m not so much a hard candy gal, and I certainly don’t drink soda or sweetened drinks (yuck), and to be honest, I don’t care for overly sweet and [...]
