Before I could give it up, I had to be eating real food. Once I was doing that, it was easier to quit cold turkey. And giving up sugar helped me give up glutan and higher carb foods, which has been soooo good for me. Giving up sugar for me was a sort of non-vicious circle.

My problem is that usually PMS time I get this uncontrollable urge for carbs. I started taking 1000 mcg of chromium and it works like a charm. My OMD recommended this for me. As I am learning to balance my body naturally, I am having to eliminate natural sugars (for the time being). It is really nice to feel level-headed! <abbr><em>Erica I have pretty much removed all refined sugar from my diet, so yay!

It's true, it's easier to eat no sugar than some sugar. Once I get going it's hard to stop! What a great thing to do for Lent. Maybe I'm too harsh on my Catholic upbringing ;-) <abbr><em>Michelle That’s fantastic. It’s true, it’s easier to eat no sugar than some sugar. Once I get going it’s hard to stop!

That's it. Butter. I know it's not incredibly well balanced, but it's raw and from grass-fed cows and sooooo good for his developing brain! I *really* need to make some ice cream now that I've got an ice cream maker. Kristin -- Good luck! You can never go wrong giving up refined sugar. ;) Jenny & Motherhen68 — This morning my 2 year old ate butter for breakfast. That’s it. Butter.

Honestly, I can see how yours is healthy, so it's really not a big deal, but the stigma of ICE CREAM FOR BREAKFAST! I can see my mother rolling her eyes LOL. I've got a battle going on inside my brain. The battle is over healthy foods vs cheap foods I can buy at the grocery store. The healthy food side is winning. After doing a major inventory of my pantry, I've decided yesterday to cut out all junk foods, even if I can get them for pennies on the dollar. To what expense am I costing my kids by feeding them processed foods? Unfortunately for us, we live in a state that raw milk & products are illegal. But I can buy the best organic dairy I can. We already belong to a CSA and buy pastured eggs from a neighbor, so I've got that going for me. The food revolution will start with bloggers like you and others who follow the NT way. I haven't been this excited about cooking and food for a long time. <abbr><em>Motherhen68 Nourished Kitchen, my ds would FLIP if I fed them ice cream for breakfast.

One of my favorite things is to offer DS ice cream for breakfast and not worry about it being junk (seriously: egg yolk, raw cream, and a bit of honey! that's good stuff there). Three cheers for dessert for breakfast! <abbr><em>Nourished Kitchen It’s amazing how tastes change depending on what you’re exposed to.

I think that's where my husband is, too. Sweets are now a managed habit. That said, I've felt 100% better since nixing the stuff in my own life. Whenever I eat some (by mistake or on purpose), I really feel the nasty effects on my digestive tract. Alyss -- What's really odd is that your friends probably don't think these sweets are all that bad. I know quite a few moms who are *convinced* that PBJs, dried fruit leathers, juice, and chocolate milk are all HEALTHY. (And they MIGHT be, if the bread was sprouted and the peanuts soaked before being turned into butter and the jam homemade with natural sweeteners...if the fruit leathers were homemade...or if the milk were raw.) But what you buy in the store is the epitome of nastiness -- laden with high fructose corn syrup and a myriad of unnatural ingredients you'd need a chemistry degree to understand.
