Hi there girl, for what it's worth regarding the "to eat sugar or not to eat sugar" debate. I've been sugar free for the last year for reasons relating to nursing my baby and breast infections (too much to go into). I finally weaned the baby after much trouble and began to eat fruit sugar and more carbos like bread every so often (I never touched bread for the last year). Not a load more mind you, just every so often. And I have picked up a cappucino every so often (like once a week or two). In three weeks time I put on 8 pounds immediately. I was right around 100 for the last 8 months and I'm now 108. Clean eating and I mean completely clean (live on salads, protein, very little carbs and cut the sugar in any form) WILL get those last pounds off.
I did take measurements and found that I gained 1 1/4 inches on my backside, 1 inch on my thighs and 3/4 in my stomach, 1/2 in my upper arms from 1 month ago. Incredible huh. Plan of action is to hit S&H really hard for the next month and then cut the carbs and eat really clean and get back down in weight. Other than that, I'm not too bummed about this, just proves what eating right can do. I have to say I enjoyed this break from the diet, but plan to go at it again in a few weeks.
Just an interesting note....my baby hates sugar. She will eat broccoli, beans, peas, loves avocado, potatoes, (no carrots, too sweet) but when I try to give her ANY fruit ie, peaches, bananas, anything sweet...she wrinkles up her nose and spits it out. She will eat rice cereal, unless I add peaches or banana to it, then out it comes. Maybe she'll thank me one day!!!!
