Hey I thought I'd reply here for the benefit of everyone...but feel free to drop me an email if you want to keep anything private!
Giving up sugar is no mean feat..I was probably as addicted as you. I gave it up totally cold turkey and I had what we term in naturopathy as a 'healing crisis' in which your body displays all the major symptoms you suffer from in order to rid your body of the junk- in other words I felt ILL for a few days...headaches, belly etc...but after that WOW!!! Some doctors are not in support of doing it cold turkey, saying its too much stress for the body...I believe personally it depends on what type of character you are...you have to decide how you would like to do it!!
My typical diet(everything is organic):
morning - giant mug of peppermint tea, peppermint cap and probiotic
breakfast - oatmeal, or an 8 grain hot cereal like oatmeal, with almond milk.
snack - banana, prune, date.
lunch - two wholewheat pitta breads with a huge salad of leaves, tomatoes, radishes and olive oil with egg whites.
snack - cashew nuts, almonds, pear.
dinner - split pea, red lentil soup with vegetables, barley and brown rice. Apple.
dessert - carrot cake made with brown rice flour and sweetened with pear juice concentrate and a bit of raw sugar!!

Thats just what I ate yesterday...the menu can vary!!

I would be delighted to help you...just let me know if you want to do it cold turkey or not!! :-) Congrats on giving up the jelly beans etc..I promise it will get easier!

Feel the fear and do it anyway!
