My own sugar detox

Why did I even think about eliminating sugar from my diet?
I used to get a lot of migraines ever since I was a child, and after puberty it got even worse. There are certain times of the month when I ALWAYS have one, woman out there I'm sure some of you relate. But when I started to be more careful about the food that I am putting into my body I noticed a huge change. I have tried to cut down on refined sugar before and I was always very successful Monday- Friday. Friday night I would go out for some drinks then grab a 2am pizza slice, then come home and rage on chocolate chips. Oh, the chocolate chips! They got everywhere! I would find them hidden on the couch, on my bed...it was bad!

I started researching online about sugar binges, and night binges and came across the sugar detox diet. When I read the goal was to but ALL sugars from your diet I nearly fainted and thought what a cruel thing to do! 

I thought I could have moderation, I have always believed in that and did not like the idea of not eating fruit.

Two weeks later I was making breakfast for a friend who has been sugarless for two months and he pointed out (as a joke, but still) how much sugar I had added without noticing. Apple sauce, peanut butter ( I had the sugar added one), soy milk, dressing, the list went on and on...

That is when I decided to give it a try. How bad could it be? I would do it for only a few days and see how I felt! The next day I went through my food and gave away TWO full grocery bags away!

On Sunday April 22nd I started!
