Inventory.
After deciding to try to cut refined sugars out of my diet,
I spent a couple of days paying attention to what I ate. I did this very casually with no
extensive notes or anything like that.
I just made mental notes of the foods in my pantry that contained sugar.
Some were surprising.
Pasta sauce and salsa.
Vitamin C and Calcium supplements.
Half & Half. Salty
crackers.
Some were obvious.
Granola bars. Peanut butter
cups. Sweet & sour sauce.
Then I paid attention to stuff I ate at restaurants, or things
that people at work shared with me.
Probably that dressing on that salad at that restaurant has sugar. That cupcake my coworker made
definitely did. I wonder about the
dough on that pizza.
Step one in my sugar cleanse was merely to think about sugar
and where it lurks. It was eye
opening, and afterwards I felt a little better equipped for the road ahead.
