Today I needed this, Raw Double Chocolate Cheesecake by the Raw Kitchen. Yes, as it looks in the photo, it was yum! (Sorry if Im making you hungry now). I make a few rules for myself though when it comes to sweet things and thats for the whole family too. This is an occasional food that we have on a rare occasion. Not everyday. I make sure I buy something really yummy (normally a double chocolate something!). Individual portions, even though they might not be as cost effective as buying a whole cake for example, are good as there is no extra slices hanging around for later. I sit somewhere nice and make it a nice experience (Chloe is sleeping, Max at school). Im not rushed or stressed and I can enjoy it slowly with a cup of tea. I digest it properly and enjoy every mouthful. It is not an everyday food but it does help me to stay on the straight with the rest of our real food diet. We take an 80:20 view on things. Even though it is made from completely natural ingredients it still contains sugar. It might not be processed but dates, dried fruits etc can still spike blood sugar. The natural ingredients do not make this a health food. So make it a treat for an occasional treat time, make it about an experience, I remind myself sugar is sugar even if its from natural sources and the best part is I make it a good one :)
