June No Sugar Added Challenge

[Shorty]

Okie dokie! Get ready to WORK tomorrow!

I am going to trick myself into liking blueberries, I have strawberries, blackberries and raspberries, and I have apples and pineapple on my shopping list right now!

[Freya]

Work is involved in this? What are you? A mad woman!?

[Shorty]

You don't think it will be working telling yourself to not eat sweets? xD

[Freya]

Ah not really. I'm usually pretty good about it. Just not lately cause i'm stressing.


OH OH

Get almond milk, ice and frozen fruit and a blender! Delicious smoothies.

[LocoColt04]

So, uh, Shorty... a lot of those fruits are like, extra sweet, and so that's still a lot of sugar. I mean, it's better than cane sugar and a hell of a lot better than processed sugar, but you should look at spacing those out!

[Freya]

OH OH.Also yogurt and frozen fruit. and a blender..... And you get yummy frozen yogurt.

[Shorty]

I will, silly! The blueberry, blackberries, strawberries and raspberries are frozen, so I can eat those at my leisure.

Ooh, almost milk! Great idea!

[LocoColt04]

And it's better to satisfy your sweet cravings some way than not at all, because if you're craving something and don't get it, you're likely to not be satisfied by anything you eat (because it's not really what your body wants).

And then you will eat for the sake of eating, regardless of whether you actually "need" to or not.

See, I hate dieting because I prefer to make smart food choices. But, sometimes, I decide I WANT to make dumb food choices (processed, fried, etc.) and that's okay too. I'm coming up on the end of one of those dumb food choice periods (work is about to get easier again, I'll have more time to prepare food, etc.) and so this little challenge is a fun way to get this kicked off.

you do know that fructose exists right?

[Shorty]

Guys, I know there is sugar in fruit. This is specifically an additive sugars thing.

I should warn you to stay away from artificial sweeteners. Those things aren't any good for you.

And they're disgusting and taste like death.

[Freya]

I like some of them. They aren't ALL bad. I like to put them in hot tea as they dissolve better than normal sugar or honey.

[Del Murder]

Oh helllllllll nah. I would probably die. Good luck to you, though.
