My husband and I, being the good Christians we are, decided to give up something this year for Lent. But being the competitive jerks we are, we made a bet out of it. We both had to give up our biggest unhealthy vice to see who would crack first. Hubby gave up fast food, and I said I would give up sugar. Then it dawned on me just how daunting a task that really is! I checked out a Suzanne Somers' book, and the idea of cutting out all sugar and all things that turn into sugar is really appealing to me. I've wanted to get rid of sugar for a long time, and now I have a good reason.According to some more reading I've done, sugar could be a culprit in IBS as well. But my question is, has any IBS type done that diet and how did it work? Was your tummy okay? I'll have to modify only a little because I can't tolerate red meat, but I see nothing that would hurt by removing sugar! Sugar is nutrionless, empty calories.Wish me luck! I intend to beat my husband!! And lose some weight too!!Amy
