So, I’m curious, how did everyone do with the Sugar Free challenge?
I must admit, by Tuesday night I was very nervous about it. I felt like you do before you have a party: I was scared no-one would come. And what a surprise I had, so once again thanks very much for all your support!
Overall I think we did ok except for the pancakes on Wednesday night and some syrup over the glazed carrots last night and we could definitely see a difference.
Our (Margot and mine) aim wasn’t to suddenly change you into sugar-Nazis, but to create an awareness.
Did it make you wonder about what is in the food we buy and the food we think is healthy that we give our kids?
Did it make you turn an item around when you were at the shops this week and look at the food label to see what the sugar content is?
If you did stay sugar free for 48 hours, how did you feel when you woke up this morning?
Did you take a look at how your kids’ behavior changes when they had sugar when you were aware that they had sugar?
Please feel free to comment and leave any posts you might have done about your experience, I would love to hear about it!
ps: I recently saw a post on Betty Bake Blog about Forks over Knives so last night Etienne and I watched it. I’m not a big fan of meat to start off with, so it was quite an eye-opener to see my gut feel be supported by so much research and facts about how bad animal-based protein is for us. I could tell it hit home for Etienne as well as this morning he was worried about making supper after seeing the documentary. Love it!
Does it mean we will instantly stop eating meat? No. But it will make us think about making better meal choices, not fighting with kids over having to eat their meat and slowly incorporating more plant-based proteins in our diet.
