Sugar Free Me
Posted by fheenix33 on May 1, 2009
Today marks 2 months in which I have not eaten starchy foods or sugar. No, I’m not on a diet, but after years of struggling with negative reactions to these foods and trying to find a balance, it got to the point where I had to eliminate them from my diet completely. This is something that I had done last summer as the symptoms of eating these foods worsened, but once the Holidays hit I had made an exception to allow myself small doses of these foods. The symptoms returned (dizziness, extreme fatigue, blurred vision, slurred speech and the feeling I had been drugged), but I was determined that I could find that balance to eat tiny doses without suffering the effects.  How could I possibly give up my favorite artisan breads, pasta, a slice of cake once in a while or the gourmet pizzas that I whipped up a couple times a week?Â
