Congratulations. I am a sweet addict. The older I get, the more so I become. But I stick with the natural sweeteners such as stevia and monk fruit which do not raise blood sugar. So there's that.
I went Cold Turkey in January on all processed foods, all refined sugar, all dairy and all red meat (actually all meat except fish). I eat tons of vegetables and fruits. I lost 35 pounds since January and went off my blood pressure meds. My A1C is normalized, my cholesterol is down 50 points and well into normal range and my kidney function has gone from stage 3 kidney failure into normal. I have not felt this good since high school.
