Sugar Challenge: December 2008

This month, avoid all sugars from December 1st through December 31st (New Year’s Eve).

On the 31st only, eat whatever you want.

If you choose, allow yourself something sweet on the holiday of your choice between the beginning and end of the month. On the 31st, resume your abstinence and stay away from sweets into next month based on your own parameters or based on next month’s sugar challenge.

If you are new to avoiding sugar you should be able to make it through the holiday season knowing that on the actual holidays you can eat whatever you want. This should cut down or reduce your sugar intake for the month. That’s a good thing!

Remember, the Stop Being Sweet Sugar Challenge isn’t about quitting sugar forever. It’s about reducing or abstaining from sweets for a month and seeing what happens. The idea here is to learn about yourself and your relationship to sweet foods. Try it for a month and see what happens. There is no “pass/fail” in this. It’s an experiment.

Good luck and Happy Holidays!
