Day 8: So far this is SO much easier than I ever dreamed. The neatest thing is I don't feel hungry all the time like I did when I was eating sugar. It makes sense now, since sugar turns off our "I'm full" switch.

My biggest disappointment is I thought maybe I'd lose lots of weight easily and quickly. I think I've dropped maybe 2 or 3 pounds, but that could be just normal fluctuation. Of course, I'm not really trying to diet, just survive for right now without sugar. But I do feel like I'm eating less just because my appetite is less than it was.

I do not slump hardly at all in the afternoons like I used to. Even when I don't get a great night's sleep, I still don't slump much in the afternoons. It's wonderful!
