Maya Chocolate Bar Experiment

People have been asking me questions lately.

“Do you eat honey?”

“Do you drink coffee?”

“Do you eat white flour?”

Some people are genuinely curious while others ask so they can point out my flaws.

I haven’t quit sugar forever.

I will eat sugar again.

In fact, I eat things that turn into sugar everyday. I eat bread. I eat white rice. I eat sugar free cookies (home made with oat meal, nuts, diced apple, and sweetened with a little bit of honey).

Why?

Because I like sweet things but I don’t want to return to junk food.

So, the other day I tried a Maya Chocolate bar.

Ingredients: organic dates, organic hazelnuts, organic walnuts, organic cocoa, organic cacao nibs, organic cashews

There are no added sugars. They are also free of dairy, soy and gluten. Yeah, there’s some sugar content in there, 19 grams worth. A Snickers bar has 30 grams. I don’t know if it’s good or bad, but I did it anyway.

After not having chocolate for a long time something chocolaty was nice. It’s not super sweet and I didn’t feel any negative effects after eating it. Best of all there was no Malitol aftertaste or gassy reaction.

After having been off hard sweets for so long, I’m starting to experiment and see if I can eat semi-sweet things without feeling the negative effects of the sugar roller coaster.

Have you found anything that works for you?

PS - I never drink coffee, I eat white flour, and I eat honey in tiny doses approximately once a month.
