Unpassions You guys got any questions?

annefood Hey @fitorious ! Have you tried drinking sparkling water with pieces of fruit in it? That helps me when I'm craving something sugary. Also, check out the Avoid Sugar Guidebook...

KyFish I do this as well. But I use this 7 grain bread from my farmers market because it doesn't have any added sugar like some grocery store bread, and it's better for managing my diabetes.
