The Plan

So, ya want to give up sugar for awhile?  What the heck does that entail?

Here is our plan.  White sugar is out, of course.  Corn syrup is out also.  And, for us, fruits that are naturally high in sugar are out as well.  Simple plan.  Simple foods.  Not so simple to do for a month.  

Now how does one figure out what foods have processed (white) sugar or corn syrup in them?  While sitting around the kitchen table eating our curds and whey we will be occupying ourselves by reading more labels on the foods that we have around.  Did you realize that peanut butter has sugar or corn syrup in it?  Even more crazy, some packages of salt have sugar (listed as dextrose) in them!  

We will simply eat simply for the month...  Oatmeal and omelettes for breakfast.  Tuna fish sandwiches for lunch.  String beans, potatoes and steak for dinner!  Not bad at all.  If (or when) we fall "off the wagon" it will most likely be for a crunchy New York State apple or something similar.  

That's our plan.  What's yours?

M & T
