Sugar Free September 2018

[starsky22]

Hi, does anyone want to do Sugar Free September with me?

I lost 2.5 st doing the low carb bootcamps last year and have done ok at keeping it off. I generally stay low carb, but feel like the sugar is creeping back in and so want a few weeks without sugar to re-set myself and get rid of the cravings. Having a challenge and doing it with others always helps, so hoping some one wants to join me!

The idea came from Ditch the Carbs:

SUGAR-FREE SEPTEMBER 2018 – THE RULES

AVOID
– all sugars – table sugar, honey, coconut sugar, agave, maple syrup and dried fruit. Beware of recipes that say “refined sugar-free” because it’s just their way of hiding “we used another sugar”.
– biscuits, cakes, sweets, chocolate, ice cream
– granola/cereals
– juices, smoothies and fruit yoghurts

ENJOY
– coffee, tea, sparkling water
– real food, amazing meals
– cheese, nuts, steak, avocados etc

If this all seems too hard, slowly cut back one thing at a time. This is YOUR challenge and you need to do it YOUR way. If the sugary foods above, make up the majority of your daily diet, then it’s time to really knuckle down and get serious about how often you eat or drink sugar.

Last day tomorrow. Managed to stick to it for the full month. Didn't drop alot on the scales but I definitely lost inches, too bad I didn't measure beforehand. I think all the yoga was toning me. Not sure whether to keep it up for longer.

Am taking dh away for a night during the week so I will definitely allow myself a little treat or two then.
