Sugar ...
My friend is a palates instructor and HUGE on natural healing for the body therefore her eating habits are incredible. We were at the park the other day and she mentioned she was trying to give up sugar, I laughed and said "tell me about it I feel horrible when I eat a brownie or jolly ranchers." gulp what she meant by that was giving up sugary fruits, ugh ... now I don't suggest giving up fruits One: they are awesome and two: you need something fun in your diet and that is the healthiest fun you can have. Her game plan was this ... to eliminate sugary fruits for two - three weeks so that she can get use to eating veggies more often instead of grabbing fruits. It is true that sugar makes you crave more sweets so it only makes sense. So my challenge to myself and all you bloggers is to eliminate fruits for two weeks, instead of grabbing an apple or strawberries try broccoli, carrots, spinach, cucumbers, cauliflower, bell peppers (yummy), tomatoes the list goes on. See if you can curb you craving and after two or three weeks reintroduce fruits in moderation. Let me know if it helps your cravings.

Don't forget the point is not to eliviate fruits but rather get your body to crave is less. Fruits are awesome for ya we should just be sure to take in our veggies first!
or this is a good one to review ...

My healthy friend once told me---"Your body craves what you put into it".
eliminate not eliviate, gees. I am tired!
tommi girl you are really bursting my bubble here. :)
Jill~ sorry, I am a kill joy. You can have it just try to grab veggies first. If you are anything lke me I grab fruit and say I have gotten all my vitamins for the day. The idea of this is to get you in the habit of eating veggies in combination with fruit, not to eliminate fruit. I recognize it is great for you some more than others.
