It’s so crazy to me how much sugar is in EVERYTHING! So eye-opening to really pay attention to ingredients. I think my palate did change more than I thought it did. I had a Coke today and it was a lot sweeter to me. I’m glad I did the challenge!

I didn’t even think about it that way! I did discover that I love honey in my tea so much more than sugar, so that was a nice find.

I did #poysugarfreejanuary too, but I kept honey, maple syrup, and stevia in the mix. I also kept a few dried fruits, like dates, because they are rich in fiber and so naturally sweet that I can’t really eat too many of them at once.

I got so angry when I bought some bags of dried strawberries online that were advertised as “no refined sugar”, only to find out that they were soaked in concentrated apple juice – a.k.a., sugar. I’ve changed my thinking on dried fruit. It’s now a very occasional indulgence, and usually added to something like oatmeal or overnight oats.

This challenge seriously recalibrated my palate, and I’m so glad I did it!

I realize why, trying to reset your tastebuds and honey is super sweet, but it is SO good for you. I know doctors at my hospital who would prescribe it exclusively for wound treatment (like when my dad sawed the tip of his thumb off making me a bird house 😵), and allergy sufferers are recommended to ingest honey made within a few miles of where they live.
