Well, that's it. I've given up sugar. I know it's not going to be easy, but I'm going to try. I already gave up meat and dairy. And when I did, I couldn't believe how much better I felt. So now, with two jobs, I thought I'd better find a way to amp up my energy in a natural way. And I never liked the crashes that sugar caused anyway, so I'm excited to end my dependency.

If it's something that you think you'd like to try, I'd love for you to do it along with me. Don't be scared by all of those side effects I read on the show today; they'll only be temporary. And we're working toward a long-term, healthy goal.

I'll keep you updated as often as I can. I'll also be shooting flip videos of my progress. I'd love to hear how you're doing, too. Just click on the "Sweet But Sugar-Free" button on our site.

Well, I'm ready to eat a sugar-free snack. Please don't tell me there's sugar in éclairs.

We can do this!

Ps- If you've already given up sugar and you're ready for the next step, there's a great cleanse in Kathy Freston's book "Quantum Wellness." You should check it out.
