Today we started a 'sugar' detox. I put sugar in quotes because we already don't eat any processed sugar, but sure as shootin' it's easy to get hooked on the real stuff (honey, dates, high-sugar fruits, maple syrup, etc) too! We are cutting it out for two weeks starting today (we means me and my sugar-addicted husband).

B: scrambled eggs and cantaloupe
S: coffee with cream and a small banana
L: chili topped with 1/2 oz raw cheddar, paleo coleslaw
S: 1/2 oz raw cheddar, uncured summer sausage, apple
D: big salads topped with Cuban spiced pork left over from last night
S: fresh strawberries
So, wait.... no sugar, honey, or maple syrup (the obvious ones). Okay (it would drive me crazy--must have my coffee!), but no grapes, etc either? Damn. You people and your diets*.

Yesterday:
B: Coffee with lots of milk and sugar. Only way I can drink it, but I seem to have developed a caffeine problem...
L: Easter brunch at a restaurant. Blood orange cocktail (tasty!), wedge of iceberg lettuce with grape tomatoes, some kind of dressing, red onions and some nice blue cheese. Eggs Benedict with tomatoes and a few slices of steak, green beans and potatoes, 2/3 of a creme brulee.
S: Doritos, an apple.

Today:
B: Coffee and a doughnut
L: Chicken sausage, tabbouleh (homemade!), red+green bell pepper strips, radishes with hummus, half a package of the mini Reese's cups
S: Black tea with milk and sugar, 1 cookie
D: Chicken sausage (chipotle this time), brown rice left over from last week, salad with a bit of goat cheese and not-creamy Caesar dressing.
S: Pineapple chunks with mint
