no-sugar challenge!

First of all: I’m so sorry I only posted once last week! It was Sunday evening, and already late, so my parents sent me to bed before I could write every post I wanted to write :(
Anyways, I’m gonna make it up to you guys: today I’ll post two posts (the ones that should’ve been published yesterday) and I’ll also post three posts at the end of this week. Okay, actually that’s just what you’d usually get.. I’ll try to post one extra, but I’m sure if I’m going to manage to do that…

Now let’s go on to what this post actually is about: the no-sugar challenge! I did (and finished!) the no-sugar challenge. In this challenge you’re not allowed to eat any refined sugars for a week. It’s very healthy and I was also just curious how it’d be without them. Well, I can tell you; it’s hard! I really noticed how much refined sugars you usually eat.
A few examples:
- when I get home, I usually eat a cookie and drink tea, or something like that. During the challenge, I ate a banana (or an apple, or a mandarin or whatever :)).
- I usually have bread for breakfast, but in some kinds of bread there’s sugar. So I ate yoghurt. The bread I eat, though, is sugar free. I read that on the Internet a few days after I started.
- That week, we went on a school trip (twice!). In the bus, everyone was eating candy. And I was just sitting there with my oats… :(

So, it was hard, but I succeeded!
I even kind of “enjoyed” the challenge. Not really, it was horrible, but it was fun trying to find sweet replacements on the Internet. If you’re Dutch, and going to try this challenge, you should really check out this blog: www.blijzondersuiker.nl

Let me know if you’re going to try the challenge!
