Ahhhh sugar.... I've said it many a time, my drug of choice. I've been using it to numb for most of my life. I've been clean from refined sugar since early July, so almost 8 weeks and its made a huge difference. I feel better and look better, and I'm much less moody and irritable. The NAET treatment certainly helped to get this all started, but I also know its a slippery slope to fall back in to it and I get nervous sometimes just being around sugar.
Between being off of sugar and wheat/gluten I've been bemoaning not being able to participate in "everything pumpkin spice" season this year, but then started poking around looking for keto style pumpkin things I can make. On Pinterest I found some low carb/gluten free muffin recipes and the Eat Pretty book has a recipe for a pumpkin pudding, so last night I started gathering a few things at the grocery store, including a sugar alternative that is made from hard woods. It's supposed to be 75% as sweet as sugar, have no after taste and bake like sugar. I'm curious to give it a try.
