The Power of SugarMay 10, 2011 | 05:26 PM

Saturday’s workshop was great and I hope it inspired our participants to start a 30 Day Challenge.  I decided that I too would begin a 30 Day Challenge, if for nothing else, but to provide support.  And to my surprise, I have had a bit of trouble; after being 95% Paleo since my first 30 Day Challenge (about a year ago) I have spent the last two days unsuccessfully trying to be strict…what does this tell me?  It tells me that I have had too many days of sugar in my life (even though it’s been natural sugar); my body’s insulin levels are off!  So, even though I’ve been pretty close to perfect, my body needs a sugar detox and I underestimated how difficult it would feel.  Lesson learned; tomorrow I will start a 30 Day Challenge; prepared to reset those insulin levels!  Even the smallest amounts of sugar can cause trouble, be careful with your “cheats”, they can really derail your efforts, even when they seem as innocent as a little natural sugar!
