no more sugar. how i did it.

ohhhh. and i'm so happy & full of energy! seriously. since about 8 weeks, i stopped eating sugar (and less carbs). but sugar was mostly THE problem for me. i was like craving food every minute of the day. constantly looking for cookies, chocolate, candy. after i had dinner, i felt like i could eat more and more and more. out to dinner & not ordering desert? uhuh, not gonna happen.

and now 8 weeks down the sugar-less road, i can only thank myself for making this decission. i'm seeing a dietician, because i want to make sure i'm getting enough nutricious food, and boy do i! but it is also nice to talk to her, to get advice from her. she's down to earth, open, honest & knows a shitload of stuff.

i am at that point that i seriously do not care about sugar. for one second. at all. the other week at a BBQ event from one of my clients, there was a big fat table with lots of desert. sugar sugar sugar. and i didn't even feel the urge to walk towards it. i saw other people loading their plates. all i could think was: YUK. geesh. that i would write this on my blog one day huh?! i seriously could only see the food that just wasn't good for me. so i had no problem, not one second, with not taking anything from the desert table.

i try to eat as biological as i can. as 'clean' as i can. more fish. less meat. cooking from scratch. (i almost like it!) and so i'm changing my eating pattern every day and the best part: LESS PAIN. freaking less pain. i do not know if there's a connection between Fibromyalgia and food, but for me knowing i have less pain is enough. and energy! ENERGY. come on, i almost jump out of bed every morning.

oh, and loosing 4 kilograms during these 8 weeks is kinda nice too! not hungry. not for one day. eating delicious. 

i love to buy cooking books, but now i'm actually creating REAL GOOD DINNER without using sugar. or any sacks with premade stuff. i create dinner from scratch and that's new :). so now i'm using those cooking books even!

where i get my recipes? well. online. but mostly books. my favorites:

Healthy eating with Jacoline
Amber Albarda
Grip op Koolhydraten from Yvonne Lemmers
Anne Marie Reuzenaar

which books i have & helped me a lot:

{Zonder Suiker van Anne Marie Reuzenaar}

{Grip op Koolhydraten van Yvonne Lemmers}

{Grip op Koolhydraten kookboek 1 van Yvonnen Lemmers}

{Grip op Koolhydraten kookboek 2 van Yvonnen Lemmers}

{Gezond genieten van Amber Albarda}

 

{Gezond bakken van Amber Albarda}

give yourself a chance. it took me about 10 days to stop the craving. ONLY 10 FREAKING DAYS. that's nothing for eating years and years of sugar. it's a gift to myself. my health. feeling great.

on the agenda today: LOOOOOOOONNNNGGGG day at work, but i'm planning on working on the Secret Worskhop kits (you can ask if there's still a seat!) and hopefully there's some paint involved :)

life is good. no sugar.
