"our discussion about Coconut Butter Stuffed Dates got me thinking about how I thought I'd never be able to survive without chocolate or sweets. (On #AIP I can have honey & maple syrup, but in small amounts because any type of sugar will feed bacteria. It also needs to be metabolized by my liver, which isn’t working correctly right now.
It's been 21 days since I had my last bite of refined sugar. But this isn’t a “sugar is evil” talk - our bodies need it to live. And I’m also not saying that I will never eat refined sugar again. @thepaleomom has a great post about the fact that all sugars and sweeteners are basically half fructose and half glucose, so they have nearly identical effects on your body chemistry.
I wrote the post because this part of healing has given me such incredible insight to the effect sugar has on our brain – our thoughts, emotions and sense of taste that I really wanted to share with you and I'd love to hear your experiences too "
