I went to a vegi and vegan fair today, lots of free samples but I didn’t feel like gorging on them at all. I tried most things, wasn’t tempted to eat my sons icecream and didn’t fancy a cake at the cafe.

Breakfast – porridge with nuts and dried fruit

Lunch – avocado, spinach and 2 bits of toast with olive oil and pepper

Dinner – baked potato and tuna mayo in the pub with a pint of beer

When I got home I had some mulled wine and a couple of biccies, I didn’t really fancy them but they were there, gingerbread iced ones. 2 biccies was enough.

During the Go Lower experiment I had no sugar for a couple of weeks and when I did have some it was far too sugary popcorn that we made at home. I just couldn’t stop eating it and I felt pretty rough after for hours.

I think it made me realise that too much sugar makes me feel awful, it is just not worth it!
