Re: Sugar withdrawal

Ditto here- I put honey and cinnamon on everything/anything I could when I

started! I even made egg whites quite often- beat them stiff with honey and

vanilla (I know, NOT good for you that often, but I was an addict!).

You're sugar cravings are totally normal and rest assured they will subside.

I was just in awe yesterday thinking of how far I had come in my first year on

SCD- when I started I had to carry honey packets with me everywhere in fear that

I wouldn't have some kind of sweetener. I barely reach for them now!

I started out using 1 tablespoon of honey in each cup of yogurt, and 1/2 cup of

honey in each batch of brownies. I also frequently had a spoon of honey

throughout the day. Now I use 1/2 tablespoon of honey in each cup of yogurt, 1/3

cup of honey in each batch of brownies, and no spoons of honey throughout the

day. I used to frequently drink juice too, but now just use a small amount to

flavor a glass of sparkling water. I still love sweets, I just don't need as

much of it to be happy :-).
