Default The Guardian: "My Life Without Sugar"

Can't say I could do what she did (she ate less sugar than I do to BEGIN with), but it's still interesting.

"Olivia Judson is an evolutionary biologist and writer."

Last paragraph:

"...Im not so militant in my avoidance that I interrogate restaurant chefs about which vinegar they use, or whether they add sugar to the cooking water. On special occasions €“ an anniversary, perhaps, or a birthday €“ I will eat a mouthful of, say, lemon meringue pie. But only as a rare treat, perhaps five or six times a year. Always in the past, after one of my experiments, I would take up the old habits. But not with sugar. Its not just the long shadow of possible illness. Its that €“ like others I know who have stopped €“ I feel so much better without it. I like knowing that, if I need to, I can hike all day without eating. I enjoy being free of rampaging hunger. Running in the mornings has become a delight. I prefer feeling more serene, less prone to mood swings or afternoon fatigue. My mind feels clearer. I cant imagine going back. Life is more savory this way."
