It all began a few weeks ago,
perhaps during Sukkot--I began to notice that some of the yummy baked
goods that we were getting at good old gluten-free, dairy-free, kosher By the Way Bakery
were suddenly too sweet for me. This went on for maybe two or three
weeks before a startling thought finally occurred to me--was it possible
that, after decades as a sugar addict, I might actually have outgrown
my taste for sugar? So I "went cold turkey" and just stopped eating
sweet desserts almost completely, and it worked--over roughly the past
month, I've had only one very small piece of cake, about a teaspoon of
ice cream, about a scoop and a half of sorbet, the chocolate icing and
sauce from my husband's tiramisu, about a teaspoon (literally) of
cheesecake, and a sample from By the Way Bakery, and I've hardly missed
sugar at all. I'm eating about as much sugar in a week as I used to eat
in a day or two. My current favorite treats are Mary's Gone Crackers, original flavor (an acquired taste, I'll admit) and popcorn. I'm currently on the look-out for an organic or non-GMO
popcorn with the perfect balance of sea salt and oil for my personal
taste. (The other balance I have to worry about is trying to choose
treats that are just salty enough to be tasty but not salty enough to
aggravate my kidney-stone problem.) Wish me luck with my
mostly-sugar-free lifestyle.
