Many who have done keto (and similar) diets assume my sugar-free year means eliminating anything sweet, including fruit. But that's not my goal nor my experience as being necessary.
Having worked with natural healers and enjoying amazing results, I want to share what this latest journey entails when it comes to sweeteners.
I love love love fruit. Fruit is a wonderful way to consume natural sugars. And when desired, I have honey (in my tea), agave (in my coffee), or unrefined coconut sugar (in homemade granola, gluten-free baked goods from scratch).
(Date sugar is also ok, but I don't use it).

The noticeable difference when using naturally sweet foods stands miles apart from the jitters, high, addiction, and weight that comes with the sugars found in processed foods. ๐๐๐๐๐ . ๐ด๐๐๐๐ก.
As a footnote: When the goal is health/healing, and not calories, frankenfood artificial sweeteners aren't even a part of this conversation.
What "sweet" habits do you have that you can improve by replacing your typical sweetener?
