The goal of this blog is to tell the Bare Naked Truth. Whether
it’s pretty or not. And today it’s not pretty: I’m breaking up with sugar.
For good.

(Or… for six months. Which is pretty much the same thing,
right?)
Some of you are laughing right now. (Like my sister. Stop. I
really can do this.)
Consider yourself the Sugar Mafia. You can now harass me via
comments and threats of physical harm. (As long as you don’t follow through.)
SO… Why this BRUTAL BREAKUP with one of my favorite things?
I want more than anything to get healthy.
Here is what my white cells are supposed to look like:

And here is what they currently look like (for the past
three months—extremely elevated):

Symptoms of this eosinophil elevation include fatigue and
joint pain. I don’t know that cutting sugar will solve the cell issue, but I’m
trusting it will alleviate if not eliminate my symptoms.
SO WHAT ABOUT YOU?
WANT TO LOSE WEIGHT?
WANT MORE ENERGY?
WANT TO MAKE YOUR BODY MORE EFFICIENT?
I dare you. Join me in this sugar-bust. You don’t have to do
six months. Pick a number… one month… two weeks… anything over three days
counts.
Tell me in the comments what you want to do. I dare you!
The Rules:
- No desserts. Period. Sugary or sugar free.
- Limited sugar substitutions. No more than one or two servings of sugar replacements (i.e.— in your coffee—a day. Most substitutes are filled with crappy chemicals we should all stay away from anyway.)
- A little sugar in sauces, etc., is allowed if not excessive.
- Carbs are allowed. The main goal is to cut excess sugar like those found in desserts, sodas, etc.
Are you in? I triple-dog-dare you. (Leave a comment!)
