Refined Sugar? Get it out of your Families Diet
Posted by: admin / Category: low gi foods, low glycemic recipes
It’s time to wean our families off all the sugar. There is sugar in every preprocessed food you buy. Sometimes in large quantities.
For 1 month, ban all sugary drinks, sodas, soft dring etc. in your family. Substitute with freshly squeezed fruit juice mixed with sparkling mineral water.
Hide the sugar bowl!
If your family complains, and they probably will, then try 1 to 2 teaspoons of pure maple syrup as a substitute to sweeten porridge and muesli and other whole food breakfasts.
You can relent and allow 1 teaspoon of raw sugar. It is not going to hurt if eaten with low glycemic foods.
Some people use Stevia (a sweet herb) as an alternate sweetener, but I don’t like the flavor.
I try to avoid all artificial sweeteners and food additives in general, but if you are comfortable with them, then you can use them.
