This weekend I am having a Norwex Party (another way to reduce the chemicals I use in my daily life) and also I am hosting book club. I have been searching for various recipes to tryout that are paleo. Many say they are paleo but still seem to have a lot of sugar. I am still amazed at how much sugar items I ate everyday had. Things you didn't even think would have sugar, have trace amounts added.
One of the biggest withdrawal symptoms while on the Whole30 was sugar withdrawal. A month after eating no sugar (except for a little bit of honey in my vinaigrette dressing) I had a peppermint candy and a couple of throat lozenges since my allergies resulted in a scratchy throat. I felt jittery and on edge, later ending up with a headache. Was amazed at what the small amount of sugar did to my body.
I have come to the conclusion that I need to keep sugar out of my diet unless I am involved in a physical activity. One of my go to foods when I have little time is fruit (especially bananas) and they have enough natural fruit themselves.
I had a trail bar for breakfast today and ended up with an awful headache later in the day. Not sure if they are related, but will be interesting to see as things progress.
