I have been on a sugar detox for 14 days and being sugar free can make a girl do some crazy things ie. create a sugar free cupcake out of desperation for a after dinner treat. Detoxing has been extremely hard because there is sugar in everything. Things that you didn’t expect to have sugar in them there is. Of course, I know there is sugar in cupcakes, that’s why I love cupcakes. I have found doing this detox that sugar does have a mental and physical effect on me. The first two days, I had cravings and would end my days with headaches, which I don’t get. A week into the detox I had a really emotional down spell for several days being that I am a pretty optimistic person this was very challenging. Then the stuffy sinus’ and increased allergies. It is crazy that something so good, so satisfying, so sweet, (ha ha) can be have such a control of your body. I guess its not that crazy but until you go without something you never realize how much it is apart of your daily life.
After some trial and error I came up with a kid-friendly, husband approved, sugar craving satisfying dessert. This experiment has made this journey a little more “sweeter” and easier to bear. It ended up being really tasty and just what I needed at the end of a busy day. It’s nice to have a treat that I can eat on this weight loss journey that I don’t have to worry about sabotaging my efforts or doing extra work to work it off. If I had to restrict myself from all that is good ie. treats I don’t think I would be able to live this lifestyle. There has to be balance and compromise and this recipe is both and it is yummy.

So you think sugar caused your allergies? I am so trying to figure how to rid my allergies. I’m going to have to consider going sugar free. Thanks for the recipe!
No, I think detoxing off of sugar has made my allergies worse, for now. It is a side effect from detoxing. At first, sugar free was daunting but like all things we adapt. I think I will definitely be trying to continue this for another 21 days.
Looks glorious! I love baking so I carefully looked over the ingredients and you have many items I’m not familiar with. I might have to check this out.
When experiments go right.
Sugar is everywhere and in everything now and it is truly addictive. Good for you for limiting your exposure to it. I wish you the best on your detox and I’m glad you fonld a little sweet relief, lol.
