Ha ha! I'm feeling kind of cheesy today so my title comes from a Kelly Clarkson song. I love singing and I'm a huge music lover, so almost any phrase, such as, "make a change" will trigger some song in my head.
The change I'm blogging about today is about switching from processed sugar to natural sugars. WHAT?!? You may be thinking. I'm not suggesting doing this FOREVER, just giving it a chance next time you are craving something sweet. This is easy, comes in 3 steps. Here goes:
1) Make a list of all of your favorite naturally sweet foods. Mine includes: agave nectar (nothing better!), figs, dates, bananas, orange juice (not from concentrate), apple juice (not from concentrate), mangos, and ripe strawberries (if they are too early they are sour - no thanks).
2) Go buy a couple of these sweet treats this week when you're out grocery shopping.
3) Next time you crave something sweet, have one of these foods FIRST and then if you are still craving processed sugars later and you want to give in, at least you can credit yourself with something healthy first.
My bet is that many of you will stop after the natural sugar. Give it a shot, then comment with your feedback!
