Naturally, I cut desserts, syrups, candy, and coffee creamer from my menu when beginning this journey. But 2 months ago, I delved into the added sugars which are appallingly slipped into so many of our foods. Whole-grain bread, my beloved oat milk, Kind protein bars, spaghetti sauce, and so on. These foods seemed so healthy and I was keeping my calorie deficit.
I was visiting my mom and we were conversing about eating habits in general, and she said "I don't have sugar cravings." Meaning she doesn't want a slice of cake or frappucino in the middle of the night. I made our breakfast which consisted of black coffee, rolled oats oatmeal with a handful of berries. I watched her eat and drink, while noticeably cringing.
That's when it hit me like a ton of bricks-that's where the undercover sugar addiction lies-when you 'need' something in your coffee or oatmeal and you can't stand the taste in it's natural state. It took about two months of cleaning out the added sugars in my life and I love my plain oatmeal, marinara, greek yogurt, zero sugar oat milk, and coffee.
And the weight is coming off and the energy is high. I finally feel that this is it, for real this time.
