(33,643 posts)It is funny though I miss the starchy stuff more than the sugary stuff. I used to drink 'fruit juice' constantly, and/or soda ... I cut that out w/little difficulty.
It's the stuff you eat with meals that's really tough for me ... bread, rice, potato, tortillas (though I have TEENY, paper-thin multi-grain ones I'm using for street tacos still, with very high ratio of good fillings vs. starchy tortilla when I assemble) ... those 'sides' have been so much a part of life for me.
Also ... chips aren't easy for me to cut out. I LOOOOVE tortilla chips and my homemade pico de gallo. So I have the Late July organic tortilla chips, full of healthy other things like chia, flax, and quinoa ... and then limit myself strictly on how many I eat. 5-10 chips max/day, and not every day.
And apple is now my dessert, lol ...
I'll do like 1/3 of a Honeycrisp, every 2-3 days, try to have it on days when I was 'better' earlier in the day They're AMAZINGLY good when you don't do much other sugar that's for sure!
Also ... you had to go and say bagel ... lol ...
