The way sugar interacts with our bodies is such an interesting thing for me…I haven’t eliminated all sugar, but I’m hoping to cut down a bit more.

I try various methods of reducing my sugar and “giving up sweets” but it never really lasts long. There was a time where I did it for two weeks and felt great. It’s interesting to note how my body reacts to sugar. I think it comes from experiencing the negative reactions of sugar (maybe too much…guilty) and then understanding your body and really how you WANT to feel.

Eating whole foods and even finding subs like the banana froyo are clutch but I’m always a sucker for a slice of cheesecake or frozen yogurt. I think it’s key to have people around you who support your goal or are even doing the same thing. Usually I’ll start a food challenge and then my friends will bring out the junk or there will be a special occasion. But, that’s just another question about will power.

Not sure if you are a pumpkin fan, but it makes a mean overnight oats. I like to use different flavors of yogurt too, but I guess they have a lot of sugar.

I also have been interested in trying paleo, but I’m a huge yogurt fan. Guess, that’ll have to wait.
