So i basically zoomed in 10000000% on the delicious TVB salad and that picture looks like there is a peanut dressing or some thick top of dressing or sauce.

If this is the case- can you share what dressing you made/used? Thanks!

But I think I’ll try it out on certain days and work my way up. Hopefully doing it gradually will help me make it a habit and not go crazy on desserts after the month is up!
Awesome challenge idea tho 😀

Hey Lindsey!! Wow, thanks for such an incredible comment. Good to know about including a complete protein in every meal to curb sugar cravings. And I could not agree more when it comes to regular cardio and sleeping enough. It’s when the body starts to get a little out of routine or off whack that cravings start to sky rocket… and stress too! I really only crave sweets when I am stressed out. I can’t wait to read that article you’ve attached. Thanks so much for sharing. Xo

Thanks so much, Millie!! Yes, it’s so nice to test our body and willpower sometimes, I could not agree more. I do love love sweets, but taking some time off of them will no doubt be a great test for me! And I am sure I will feel amazing/appreciate desserts a whooole lot more! Xoxo

You will adore it. You can barely taste it and it gives a huge energy boost!

Before though, Christmas parties and other events with tables of sweet treats were like heaven for me, and I definitely overindulged in the stuff… to the max. Now, I’m refined sugar free, except for the bit in the pieces of dark chocolate I have for a treat, and when I do go out and decide to have dessert, a little goes a long way, and I find the flavors overwhelming. Also, the taste doesn’t really have the depth to it compared to my home-made healthier desserts. Not sure if you’ve tried this, but I find my cravings for the sweet stuff are under control best when I include a complete protein in my meals (especially breakfast) regular cardio and of course enough sleep helps too! I think I will use this challenge to be more mindful of my sugar intake, and choose lower glycemic fruits and treats. Also, this reminded me of this article I read a little while ago, good luck with your challenge!

I absolutely understand you, I feel like I could have dessert 76365715890 times a day. It’s time to change something about it. Your blogpost was so inspiring to me and was exactly what I needed to hear.

Sending you all my best wishes from Germany,
Julia

I did it for a month…it was hard hahaha! I am a BIG lover of anything sweet, so going sugar free isn’t something I would want to do full time, but it felt good to try it for a while. It’s kind of nice to test your body/willpower sometimes, it made me appreciate desserts a lot more! I hope you have fun on your May challenge! x

I wonder what was going on in April?!! I’m in!
