My challenge to you for this week is to Remove ALL refined sugar from your diet!
Sugar can be replaced with the folowing;
1.Stevia
Calorie free and very sweet!
It can be purchased in packets, drops , or leaves.
You can also grow it. (from seeds or prepotted plants)
All of these sources of stevia are on ebay.
***Note This is the only sweetner that comes in a packet that I would recommend.
The other items are excitotoxins and have health implications with prolonged use, according to what I have read. They are also NOT in a natural state, they are processed.
2. Honey
Not Calorie free , but much better than sugar!!!
Locally this can be bought at wrights Dairy (raw), and Organic Harvest.
There are also several local bee keepers throughout the area.
Email me if you want more info on that.
3. Agave Nectar
Also not calorie free , but very sweet and a great replacement to sugar.
I actually prefer this to honey.
Almost all health food stores carry this.
Our local whole foods store and Organic Harvest carry this.
4. Real Maple Syrup - preferably organic
This would replace the syrup that is maple flavored , that most people currently put on their pancakes.
I also use this as a sweetener in other items.
this is not calorie free, but it is definitely a good sugar replacement.
I hope this helps you make btter chocies for your health and your families.
