Can You Kick The White Stuff?
Sugar, that is
I’m sitting here writing a post about sugar addiction, eating a glazed apple fritter. Yep, I have a self-discipline problem. I also like to post recipes, and some of them are loaded with sugar, so, just know that I too, am addicted to sugar. Some days I’ll drink six coffees with flavoured creamer and call it breakfast.
Why is it we tell ourselves day after day, that we’re going to eat better, more salads, way less sugar, and then we completely ignore our own advice?
We can tell ourselves that it causes all of our health problems, and it’s still one of the worst substances to kick the habit of. Sometimes we don’t realize how much is in the things we eat.
It’s in almost everything — salad dressing, peanut butter, milk, even some table salt. A couple of the boxed table salt brands list sugar. Maybe it’s anti-clumping? Check your food labels. You’ll be surprised where they put sugar.
We’ve become used to convenience, and the convenient packaged foods add extra amounts of sugar and/or salt so that we keep coming back to their flavour. Also, after a hard day’s work, sometimes you don’t want to stand there…
