Family feedback: I told everyone last night that I would be giving up added sugar for ten days. Zoe asks, You gave up grains and most of the time you dont eat dairy, are you going to have only water? This question illustrates the point of the challenge. There are plenty of foods that are delicious and even sweet that have no added sugar. I pointed out that I could have applesauce, for instance, as long as it is not sweetened with added sugar. I can sweeten things with bananas and other fruits. This is not a serious deprivation. It is an awareness exercise to educate the participants on how much sugar there is in the typical American diet. I am not eating a typical diet, but it should still be educational.
