In case you are wondering why I would embark on such an unpleasant and restictive diet, it was recommended (er, mandated?) by my holistic nutritionist, who I trust implicitly. Let's just say I was not a happy camper when I heard my mandate and had serious doubts over whether or not it was possible for me.
I admit, getting starting was extremely difficult because I had cravings for that sugar "high" for the first week straight, especially during stressful situations. But, once I got over that week of withdrawal (I assume that's what it was, considering all the sugary goodness I normally eat), the cravings and temptation magically fell away. It was amazing. Though, at times, it is still hard to refrain from ordering dessert when I am dining out but otherwise, I am under control. In particular, I wouldn't mind a taste of the chocolate burrito at Tula in New Brunswick, NJ. Just a bite.
Alas, this means I will miss the chocolate show in NYC, which I really was looking forward to. It's for the best, though.
Not only have I survived a sugar detox when I had serious doubts and lodged some very vocal complaints, I have actually thrived. My diet is now a paradigm of healthful goodness since I lost my vice. Now that's sticky sweet.
