Sugar Strike

The other day, Hannah was helping me cook dinner. When it was time to add the dill to our dish she looked at it and said:
"That doesn't look very good."
"It is good. It adds really good flavor."
"Mmm, good flavor like chocolate!?!"



Sugar, in it's various forms, has been pumping through our veins lately. We've decided to go on a sugar strike, starting tomorrow. Due to the overindulgence of Easter candy and Dan's recent health kick (yea!), we- kids included- are going to go an entire week without refined sugars.
We aren't going to change much else in our diet, because generally, at home, we eat pretty well. We just want to cut out the unnecessary sweetness that we have come to crave almost constantly.

My theory is that the more we eat sugar the more we want it. If we stop eating it, we won't want it... in theory. We'll have a week to test this theory, and hopefully, we'll have healthier teeth, more sustained energy and happier bodies overall to show for it.
