I thought it would be nice to have for the girls to bake cookies or something, but they haven't been craving the sweets as much either. I think that is progress. :)Thrifty Mom In Boisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503584246610396717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-44841071910536528122018-07-19T05:48:15.372-06:002018-07-19T05:48:15.372-06:00A store ad listed 4 lbs of sugar for $2.79.

I have enough sugar to last me a lifetime in fruit jars from a sale years ago.

Many of the prescription meds we take that are given by doctors, including antibiotics, can affect weight. My daughter's doctor just told her they now know that antibiotics can cause weight gain but they don't know how to reverse it. Just saying...

When I eat those things, I constantly want more. When you don't, the cravings diminish quite substantially. I find that drinking hot tea when I'm having a craving helps quite a bit, or substituting for a piece of fruitHawaii Plannerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04760426766801381563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-18853328900645447952018-07-18T07:51:26.644-06:002018-07-18T07:51:26.644-06:00I'm very careful as to how much sugar I consum...I'm very careful as to how much sugar I consume, and for my kids as well (I've had to point out how many teaspoons of sugar are in some of the stuff my husband has given my daughter before, too; fortunately, he was appropriately horrified!). I too have found that the less I consume of it, the less I want it. That was a pleasant surprise for me one Halloween, when I sat looking at my son's candy stash and didn't want any of it!

I found that making a few sugar free desserts and some fat bombs helps to ease out of the sugar. As time has gone on I want it less and less.Thrifty Mom In Boisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10503584246610396717noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6965390616423292590.post-778905149924547012018-07-18T06:17:35.579-06:002018-07-18T06:17:35.579-06:00I'm working on it - and it is HARD.

I know it was part of your keto switch, but do you know if the sugar was a particular part of it?<br /><br />- MollyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
