This is day 1 of a smoothie fast for me. I am going to try to stick with it for 3 days. I have been off of processed sugar for over 2 years and I fell weak this holiday season. I need to get back to healthy eating and eliminating sugar is a difficult task to do. Recent studies confirmed that sugar is more addictive than cocaine, cancer feeds on it, and is the the cause of weight gain. I gained 7 pounds. The best trick I learned is when the sugar craving came, I would eat a handful of cashews and it would go away. Wish me luck on this sugarless journey again.

I have strong faith in the phrase "Time Heals All". When you adapt a diet which is repetitively made up of raw food choices and less processed ones you WILL succeed and create new, yet beneficial habits. Easier said than done of course, but if you wanna see it, talk about, be about it, and breathe it. Eventually we can re program our taste buds and release the distaste we may have for raw and natural foods with the power of repetition. Just like how we create certain bad habits in the first place. Believe that you'll make it through this Joelle!
