One month sober and sugarless - how I'm feeling
I've made it to 31 days free of processed sugar and booze, so I wanted to document how it's been and how I'm truly feeling about it all. Not just for my own reflective purposes, but in case this account helps anyone else who is thinking of cutting either of these things out of their lives for a while to decide whether they want to or not.

I unwittingly broke my sugar ban with a take out salad
This story begins two days ago. It was a Tuesday morning and I was up and into the office early, and not being a morning person on the best of days I'll be honest and say the 6am alarm had not been my friend. I also already thought it was Wednesday, which didn't help my mood in the slightest. The day was grey and wet and horribly cold, the epitome of a typical English winter day. The morning in the office had rushed by in a series of meetings including one placed right over lunch time that of course overran, so by the time I got back to my desk and thought about food at 1:20pm I was quite frankly ready to gnaw my own arm off.

Artificial Sweeteners toxic to gut microbiome
Artificial sweeteners have always captured that health halo that follows any food without calories. From diet sodas to zero calorie sweeteners for your three-dollar coffee, artificial sweeteners offer us a unique consumption proposition – eating and drinking without restriction and no apparent weight gain or negative consequences.

Why I am conscious of my health now
Guys, what if I told you it’s easy to eat clean and it’s FUN too! Before my health and wellness journey began, I looked at healthy eating as if it were an alien. The (AMAZING) individuals who took up vegetarian and vegan lifestyles were on another universe than me. How could one possibly live by cutting out everything but plant-based foods? The idea seemed so foreign.

VEGAN
Yes, I know that sounds a little extreme, but for some it isn't, like for me. I found myself over 40, overweight, with health issues and over every single diet I've tried in the past, and I tried them all! I coddled and babied myself through each diet with my own "Lolita version" of each, maybe that's why they failed? We may never know!

Whole30 is a game changer
Thinking of starting a diet? I highly recommend doing a round of whole30. I’m 22 years old and I’ve been overweight my whole life. I’ve tried countless diets and fasting methods and nothing seemed to work. I did weight watchers for a while but I didn’t want to spend any more money on a diet. Whole30 was recommended to me by several people as “the best lifestyle change they’ve ever made.” I figured I had nothing to lose to see what it was all about.

I Did Keto For a Year
Let me take you on my food journey, one that has been incredibly unhealthy for the majority of my life up until now. In my 20's, I did not care. I ate whatever I wanted because I could do so and not gain weight. I frequently binged on junk food, priding myself on other people's amazement at how much I could eat.
