A really good article in today's NYTimes. An investigative report on the industry of snack food. I love the title because that's what it is--addictive and it was designed to do so. I can truly say that I have beat the addiction of sugar (processed sugars--small amounts of natural sugar); I don't crave it, don't eat and don't want it. I have seen a few Maintenance bloggers entertaining the thought of no sugar and I say try it and then try it again. In the beginning, I did reach for sugary fruit--pineapple, watermelon, mango; now I reach for grapes (1 cup/serving) or strawberries (1/2 cup/serving). I still feel that this is an individual decision and every body is different. I found my triggers. At a dinner a few weeks ago, I gave my slice of cheesecake to my friend sitting next to me to take home to her husband---she was so happy because she had eaten her slice and she wanted to take something home to him. It didn't faze me at all and when I got home I ate an orange. I would love to hear your stories about salt-sugar-fat---the trinity of junk food addiction.
Also, here is where I get a lot of my inspiration. She breaks down sugar facts, how to cut down on sugar and artificial sweeteners. The post I am pointing to in the previous link is about sugar and weight gain, perfect!!!
