Thanks for the tip!<br /><br />You might find Sarah Wilson's blog interesting, she has a whole section on her blog dedicated to sugar free diets (although she's avoiding fruits) it's quite an interesting read: http://www.sarahwilson.com.au/category/i-quit-sugar/<br /><br />I can't wait to try the oats/porridge with coconut milk and cinnamon! :) Allirahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02455872454782083239noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112549698244435082.post-2443329970225389912011-03-28T09:42:05.117-07:002011-03-28T09:42:05.117-07:00@Allira, one of my favorite "sweet" thin...@Allira, one of my favorite "sweet" things I have now is plain yogurt with frozen (and sometimes fresh) berries mixed in, and some grape nuts. I like the crunchy, smooth combo, and if you crush up the frozen berries really well it gives it a gorgeous color and a great taste.. (I like raspberries and boysenberries) - and sugar free!Shortyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938913869932083096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112549698244435082.post-78158906998957497232011-03-27T15:35:37.991-07:002011-03-27T15:35:37.991-07:00Same! I decided I wouldn't cut out fruit, I lo...Same! I decided I wouldn't cut out fruit, I love fruit too much and I can't put it in the category of anything other than 'healthy' so I'm just trying to cut out all sugary treats and things like fruit juice, muesli bars etc. I find yoghurt hard to cut out as well. I have no self control so if I eat anything that's a sugar alternative I'll finish it and then start binging on all the other bad stuff. I'm hoping it'll get easier as time goes on :) But you've done so well to get through a month!

But I dont plan on being sugar free forever :)<br /><br />@Allira do you cut out fruit as well? That's been an issue for me. I know some plans say no fruit but it's hard for me to think of fruit as anything other than good for me...Shortyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10938913869932083096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7112549698244435082.post-4728935971502692162011-03-26T21:56:43.318-07:002011-03-26T21:56:43.318-07:00A month?! Good work!
I'm trying the no sugar ...A month?! Good work! <br />I'm trying the no sugar thing at the moment, actually, it could be attempt no. 5 (or more). It is so hard going cold turkey, if I have a teeny tiny bit of sugar it's all over, red rover. But, I have to admit, when you do have a good few days without any sugar, you feel soooo much better!

I've seen recipes for muffins/cupcakes/etc. that are sweetened with either agave, honey or maple syrup.Dorianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17641153086385894637noreply@blogger.com
