It occurred to me that with a new year, there are a lot of you out there asking questions and interested in living sugar-free. Fructose free technically, I guess. Or just greatly reducing the amount of sugar you consume. I often receive a tweet or email from someone who has been pointed this direction by a friend [...]

Thumbnail image for Fun for Whom?

I was told yesterday that drinking green smoothies for some meals was a bit full on, too strict and not very much fun at all. This person spoke to me about deprivation, enjoying everything in moderation and about trying to hard to make something happen. Now. I’m all for living life. I’m all for everything in [...]

Sneaky Tricky Bugger.

May 29, 2012

I didn’t really plan to stay off, off sugar forever. In fact I was happy just to regulate my intake. Have a treat here or there and be predominately sugar-free. Say 95%. I did a bit of an audit this week and it’s slipped a little. These days I’m sitting at around 70% sugar-free. I’ve [...]

When a little bit is too much.

January 17, 2012

I took a look at some of my old Sugar Free Suger posts and realised it has been over 5 months since I quit sugar. For something that started as a whim, a determination to get healthy heading into 2012, I am surprised to be here. But there is something that I’ve learnt, when it [...]

Decaf December vs Sugar Free Suger vs Christmas

December 22, 2011

Given all the recent website drama, it’s been a while since there has been a Sugar Free Suger or a Decaf December update. The short version is both are on shaky ground some days but solid as a rock more often than not. Over the past month, I’ve had perhaps three caffeinated beverages. And I’ve [...]

Did I fall off the Sugar Free wagon?

November 29, 2011

Short version. No. I AM more settled into my new lifestyle. Moving into the maintenance phase over Christmas. My term, not theirs. Maintenance phase, that is. I didn’t make up Christmas. I find it really easy to stick below the guideline figure given in the I Quit eBook over there on the sidebar {if buy [...]

How to quit sugar again.

November 15, 2011

It has been a pretty awesome last {almost} two weeks. It’s been rough on the sugar free living. Little amounts slipped in under the radar. Eating out and being a house guest will do that to a person. Anyone. My house is entirely Sugar Free Suger proof. The ingredients I have on hand, the snacks, everything is [...]

When a Sugar Free FAIL just becomes life

November 8, 2011

Since arriving in Sydney on Friday I have been traveling, shopping, partying or generally hanging about. It’s difficult but not impossible to stick to limited sugar living this kind of life. I am armed with my research and I know what foods to aim for and which to avoid. Not that I always have.  I [...]

Satisfaction is a big fat weirdo

November 1, 2011

One of the things that pops up time and time again when people talk about their experience quitting sugar is appetite/satisfaction. I discovered this early. I would be eating and I’d get a message that I’d had enough. I was satisfied. I was done. Enough thanks. It was the thing that impressed me most.  Over [...]

Eating Smart #SugarFreeSuger

October 24, 2011

I couldn’t do that is something I hear often when people hear that I have quit sugar. Before I quit sugar it did seem like a ridiculously hard thing to do. It turns out, after the initial week or so, it really isn’t. It’s about playing smart with the food you eat and what you keep around [...]

#SugarFreeSuger FAIL

October 17, 2011

This was me, yesterday afternoon. Loving my new cardie but hating on myself. I knew better than this. But I did it anyway. We had a lot to eat yesterday, mostly I was fine, pretty much on track. Doing well considering that we have been eating out/with friends all weekend. I’d had too much white [...]

Facing the Facts

October 14, 2011

There is something to be said for taking a lot of photos. I have stacks. I wish I had more of Hubby and I. But mostly, I have heaps. I was flicking through some tonight {as I synced every device I own!} and this photo from the start of July grabbed my attention. The one [...]

My Day: Phones & Sugar Free Lies

October 14, 2011

This morning was THE morning of THE day. The day where I would finally be rid of my slowly dying iPhone 3 and have a new shiny 4S in my hot little hands. Unfortunately THE morning of THE day started a little later than planned when the universe aligned and I had not one but TWO blog’s [...]

I Quit Sugar eBook

October 11, 2011

I’ve never really been on board with affiliate programs. I hadn’t found one that suited what I do here. And I’ve been too lazy to really look into it. The lovely Danimezza bought the fact that Sarah Wilson was offering an affiliate program for her new eBook to my attention. Thanks lovely. A perfect match as always. [...]
