Sugar!!

Hi my name is Brooke and I'm addicted to sugar!! 

HI BROOKE!!!

Seriously though I need to kick this addiction.  I used to only have a salt addiction then when my high blood pressure kicked in - thanks Dad! - I stopped salting my food and have actually become quite sensitive to the stuff.  Now its the sugar.  

Ugh!! What to do?  

Well I did a quick search online and tonz of stuff popped up on Sugar Addiction.  They are all programs that cost money - of course!

Well I saw Dr. Oz and he's always a free and reliable source for some good health tips - I think. 

Here is one tip I am going to try from Dr. Oz's website.

Peanut Butter and Chocolate Combo
This tasty duo will satisfy even the most voracious sweet tooth. Melt a bar of dark chocolate and mix it into a jar of organic peanut butter. Leave it in the fridge so that it cools and the flavors blend. When a sugar craving strikes, have a spoon. One spoonful has 4.5 grams of sugar. Compare this to your average brownie with a whopping 30 grams of sugar, and you’re well on your way to shaking your sugar habit in healthy ways you never thought possible!


Um, did I mention I had two, yes, two (but small) chocolate peanut butter rice krispy treats for breakfast!! Lord help me!
