Truth be told, the best way to avoid the sugar blues is to, well – simply not eat it.
Easier said than done, I know.
The thing is, there are plenty of sweet options that don’t have to involve refined sugar – things like honey, and agave nectar, or coconut sugar.
I even discuss this (briefly) in my FREE HOLIDAY GIFT – “44 Ways to be Gloriously Gluten-Free, Through the Holidays and Beyond.”
Yes, it might seem like an odd thing to even mention in the midst of the holiday season, with sweet temptations beckoning to us from all directions.
However, it’s not all that uncommon for someone to be diagnosed as either allergic, or sensitive, to sugar.
So, I try to keep this, and all other allergens, in mind.
Another thing to be aware of, is that it isn’t just white sugar in its traditional form that’s the villain, here.
Too many carbs in general – especially the “white stuff” like potatoes, rice and flour – are empty calories that offer little nutritional value.
So why not experiment with other sweeteners, for some of your holiday baking?
