Ha! I cracked up that you were eating cake while reading–and I totally understand and can relate. It took us awhile to adjust to Sucanat, too. We all (especially my husband) have a sweet tooth, too. For us, the key has been to be intentional about NOT having it around, or setting aside special times to enjoy it with freedom. Like Christmas! Or birthdays, etc. I feel like we’ve gotten back into a rut this year with it, so I’m working on serving more fruit at the moment.

This is one area I definately need to work on (I’m eating cake while reading this). We have switched sugar from white to an organic sugar which would be similar to turbinado. We are working our way up to the sucanat type sugar which is in the cupboard but a bit strong tasting for us yet. We all have a sweet tooth though which makes the reducing sugar very hard. Any practical tips on reducing sugar consuption would be greatly appreciated.

I really appreciated this post. We have been trying to reduce our “treat day” down to just Sundays…. I mean, what better way to celebrate the Lord’s Day!? After having Susanna, we have had tons of sweets in our house, and it’s been difficult to reduce. I definitely have an addiction. I would love to know more about stevia, though. We have never been stevia folks, but my mom is, and I honestly thought it was better than the other artificial sweetners, so reading this has made me want to know more. Thanks for doing this!
