Reduce Your Sugar Intake and Feel Like a Million Bucks
I have never met a sugar I didn’t like - until yesterday.
For the past month I have been making a concerted effort to eat healthier and drink more water - the results are beginning to show. The hardest part for me has been reducing my sugar and carb intake. I love candy, pasta, bread, and carbs in general. However, I really noticed something yesterday.
My mom had given me a bag of my favorite malted Easter eggs before she left on vacation yesterday. The good me and bad me had a serious war over that bag of eggs. The good me said resist and the bad me said yummy! The bad me won. I ate about 1/4 of the bag of the malted wonders and about 30 minutes later I felt horrible.
Since my body had not had so much sugar in one sitting in quite some time, I found myself feeling drowsy, sluggish and left with a massive stomach ache! I hadn’t realized how GREAT I had been feeling until then. By starting my day off with an egg scrambled with spinach, onion, and a tiny bit of cheese with a thin slice of toast, my days have been more productive, I have felt less hungry and my mind has been clearer.
Reducing my sugar intake has left me feeling so good, I haven’t even really craved coffee! I hope I learned my lesson yesterday.

Caramel is the worst, because the sugar is so condensed. And yummy. Oh so yummy…. I mean, bad for you.
