***** SUGAR FREE CHALLENGE - CAN YOU DO IT???**** STAGE 1 This is a hard core challenge, make no mistake. Its hard, but nothing great ever came from easy right???? Stage 1 of the challenge is ACCEPTANCE. In order to truly move from a place, you must recognise that you are there!!! its time to face up to the truth - HOW MUCH SUGAR ARE YOU CONSUMING? None I hear you say! Your first mission on this challenge is to do some detective work. I want you to go through your cupboards, your fridge and pick up everything that has a label. Read the label and see how many of the ingredients you can find from the list below. I mean check everything!! There are hidden sugars in everything. From bread, to sauces, organic stock cubes, so called healthy dinners, the list goes on. If you go shopping, pick lots of stuff up and check the ingredients list. When you find some, place these items in a separate part of the fridge or cupboard. Youre not going to stop using them yet, but I want you to make a distinction between the items that contain sugar and those that dont. If you can, please take pictures of ingredients list and share on this page, in particular if you are surprised at what youve found!! If you find artificial sweetners too, move them, we are going to remove these too as studies have shown that they trick the body into believing it has sugar and can cause the same reactions. More on that later. *****WARNING - THIS PROCESS MAY FREAK YOU OUT, YOULL POSSIBLY START TO WONDER WHAT THE HELL YOU ARE GOING TO EAT!! IT IS DOABLE - TRUST ME!!***** Ill post some pictures too. OK, here is your list - get hunting and please share you pictures. Stage 2 is preparation, Ill be giving you some tips on how to cope in the first few weeks. LIST Anything with the words...
