Greetings from Berlin! Week 4 of our 52 weeks of health: no sugar.

You can take this as strictly as you want: anything from “I won’t eat the cool whip directly from the container,” to “no sugars at all, including simple carbs like sugar, pasta, wheat…” Choose your spectrum of health!

Too much simple sugar is a huge health danger. One of my friends (recovered from cancer), said his doc told him that “sugar was cancer’s friend.” Yikes. Getting our blood glucose regulated and resilient is a huge step in the right direction. Sugar can be medicine, or poison just like anything else, and sometimes it takes us retraining our body and taste buds to get back on track. The last time I fasted from sugar, my ability to taste completely changed. All of a sudden, carrots were like candy!

Starting on Monday. Ready, set….Week 4.

  1. I have been looking for some opinions on a product. I also have been trying to cut out sugar as that is my biggest weakness that and carbs, you know the usual . but i find there are some things that help curve the cravings but also have low or no caloric impact https://rebuildrecover.wordpress.com/yogaburn/ so far it is helping a lot with re-hydration while also curving appetite and cravings. I am wondering if its working for anyone else as it is pretty new and im not sure if the progress is all in my head or not.

  2. I love the idea of 52 weeks of health. I am following your schedules and I can already feel the difference.
