Well, I did it! …and without too much stress I might add.
Once I had made up my mind it was easy to do. I don’t know that I could have done it without being able to have some fruit everyday, but that was all the sweetness I seemed to need. It's amazing how sweet some foods taste when you aren’t eating sugar. I found cashew nuts are very sweet and I’ve never noticed that before. In my fourth week I was tempted by a Magnum ice cream bought for me by a good natured saboteur, it was sickly sweet (although I’ll have to admit I still enjoyed it!).
As for the benefits…well I lost two kilos without any feelings of deprivation, and generally feel okay. I’ll see if I can keep it up, but with Christmas coming up fast, I can’t guarantee that I’ll keep it up.
