    Day 6

    At first I was apprehensive about this no sugar thing, it just seemed like "No this. No that. No. No. No." However, like many things in life, you've got to choose to look at the positive. In this case, the things we can still eat! I had a wee google and realised its actually not that bad (if you look on the bright side!). But remember - not that bad doesn't mean easy!

    Lean meat, fruit and vege, eggs and the like are all still fine - so chicken salad seemed safe. I actually used bagged coleslaw where you add the dressing yourself... but seeing as the dressing had added sugar in it, I left that out. After I popped in a bit of cheese, tomato, and some more carrot, I threw in the chicken! I'm not gonna lie. It seemed dry and boring. Soooo, to shake things up a bit I added lemon juice.

    By lunch time at uni I was hungry and I was semi dreading lunch... Yet to my surprise the salad was gleaming! Glistening in the sunshine even! Absolutely delicious!! So I've decided to make it again

    Kia kaha team YELLOW! We are almost half way, so the worst is already over

    Two random facts:

    1) Marmite contains added sugar, while Vegemite does not.

    2) Salt and Vinegar chips contain sugar, while Ready Salted do not.

    It's not all bad, as seen in today's lunch there is a great health benefit to going without sugar too. Even some tasty dishes can be mustered up without even needing to reach for sugar.

  • One day down

    One day down, and the morning was filled with a plentiful variety of unsweetened whole foods.

    Corn flakes without sugar, porridge with no flavor, and plenty of fruit (so it's not all bad!).

    Yellow team is holding strong!!!
