That sugar struggle sounds familiar, Alexandra, in all its details. It is my worse addiction!

I like to add that is also important to cut out processed foods. In the US everything from crab sticks to salty crackers and canned beetroots is laced with sugar, high fructose corn syrup, etc. At my age 66 my cholesterol and triglycerides were super high and cutting out sugar ( or at least drastically reducing it) and processed foods has saved me from my doctor insisting that I take statins medication . I tried to get the lab results down by cutting out alcohol, red meat, coffee etc. but only cutting out sugar and processed foods has made a real difference. It is sad how I had to find out for myself with no doctor telling or helping me. The only help I had were shamans in Peru and Colombia who helped me to learn to feel my body again.
