Sugar I Quit!

The truth is, most artificial sweeteners can be more harmful to you than sugar. Some artificial sweeteners are as much as 20,000 times sweeter than sugar. According to MD Anderson, studies have shown that many artificial sugars have been linked to cause cancer. However, sugar by itself doesn’t typically cause cancer. Additional studies have shown that there are multiple health risks associated with too much sugar consumption.  Sugar has its own set of issues. I have noticed how addictive sugar can be. Like a drug, there are so many other things I have been able to quit easier than sugar. I have been weighing out the pros and cons of eating sugar. Here’s the facts;

  1. Sugar can make you gain weight and increases your appetite.
  2. Sugar can affect your mental health and causes Brain Fog.
  3. Sugar causes inflammation.
  4. Sugar has been linked to Heart Disease.
  5. Sugar can cause higher blood pressure.
  6. Sugar causes tooth decay and cavities.
  7. Sugar can affect your hormones and lowers your immune system.
  8. Sugar affects kids and adults with ADHD.

None of this evidence is new information. There are many aliases that sugar can be found under different names. Here are some of the names to find where sugar is hiding.

  • Beet Sugar (sugar beets)
  • Brown Sugar
  • Cane Sugar
  • Corn Syrup
  • Corn Syrup Solids
  • Dextrose
  • Fructose
  • Galactose
  • Glucose
  • High Fructose Corn Syrup
  • Invert Sugar
  • Lactose (milk sugar)
  • Maltose (malt sugar)
  • Molasses
  • Sucralose
  • Sucrose
  • Treacle (refined from molasses)

So.. based on the facts, sugar I quit! All of the previous recipes I have posted here, I will be revamping and refining them to exclude the dreaded evil sugar that none of us need in our life. Here is a good article how to detox from sugar. I am looking forward to enjoying a better healthier life without it.

What is the concept of Feel GOOD and GET Tough?

layzdaisy

Be yourself; Everyone

else is already taken.

~ Oscar Wilde

Feel GOOD about the decisions you make. GET Tough with yourself this means be mentally tough and be dedicated to achieving your goals.

Love yourself as you are, imperfections and all. NO ONE IS PERFECT. Don’t compare yourself to others. Be tough enough with yourself to be disciplined in achieving realistic goals. Celebrate your milestones. This blog is about helping you to become the best person you want to be.

Navigating Life With Digestion Issues

layzdaisy

Sometimes life is hard. I love good food. Since the age of 19 it has been a roller coaster ride to figure out my digestion. Years later, I was devastated when I was diagnosed with Celiac Disease. It has been through the process of elimination I have been able to discover food intolerances, food allergies and finally get my digestion under control. But sometimes, accidents happen, and then it’s a mad dash for the probiotics to set me straight.

In my previous career, I spent many years in the Publishing and Printing industry. While working in that industry, I was the editor of a diabetic cookbook. I was curious and tried many of the recipes in that book. Most of them were not that good. It was with this experience that gave me the idea to experiment with new recipes as I figure out how to make food taste good and gluten-free. Hopefully you will join me as I am on my journey figuring out life and how to live a good gluten-free lifestyle. I think maybe one day, I will publish my own book of yummy recipes.
