Sugar...the more you eat it, the more you want of it...
This morning Claudia asked me if fruit was allowed on the Whole30...I told her it was, but in small doses...Later, I wondered why she asked...Then it dawned on me that it was probably because I haven't really eaten much fruit since I've been on the Whole03, which means I haven't posted about it...
Personally, I'm much more of a salty/savory girl. I'd rather snack on jerky, nuts or veggies then something sweet...I find it more satiating. Plus, I find the more I eat sweet, the more I crave sweets. For example, I had a fig the other day and I found myself wanting another one so I ate another one...why not? They were organic, 'no-sugar added' figs. By the third fig I finally looked at the sugar content, 20 grams/serving (1/3 cup)...WOW, that's the a lot of sugar, but it was all-natural sugar, just like fruit, it can't be bad for me, right...Well, I beg to differ on a completely personal level...
I have a sugar demon lurking inside. Growing-up I used to eat so my sugar (aka candy). I'd actually have candy hidden under my bed. Although I was never diagnosed, I now know I had a sugar addiction.
I'll eat some natural sugars on the Whole30, but to tell you the truth, I'm glad I'm not craving them because I'd rather silent my sugar demon by staying away from it. Fruit is like a 'gateway drug'. If I eat a little, I'll crave more and who knows I might wind up at Sweet Cow, right Gary!
