What’s the Sugar-Free Team Up To?
We just got the scoop from a few of our Sugar-Free team members…

I have cut out cookies, cakes & Vitamin Water. The baked yummies have been replaced with bananas, grapes, canteloupe & apples. We had a double baby shower at work on Monday and luckily they had fruit, cheese & crackers. I was strong & stayed away from the delicious chocolate cake, brownies & other goodies!
I tried adding Silk French Vanilla in my coffee to replace the mocha syrup & sugar. I’m not a coffee drinker, I’m a cafe mocha drinker and I drink decaf. It’s mostly the taste that I like. So I am also considering switching over to tea (with honey if needed).
I am thirsty more often so I have been drinking more water, which is very difficult for me since I hate water. I miss my Vitamin Water the most!!

So far I’ve cut out white bread, although I love that crusty french bread at restaurants. Also, no more dessert at restaurants! I’ve cut back on wine with dinner, although I did have a few sips last night…but it’s better than the usual 2 glasses!
I’ve filled the fridge with fresh fruit and am eating pretty healthy. Using sweetener in my decaf coffee (I use Sommersweet) and drinking more green tea, because it doesn’t need sweetening.
The real temptation is we go out a lot, and the question is what to order in restaurants. My latest cheat was to get my husband to order dessert so I could have a taste, then eat most of it! So, I am watching that. He’s not ordering dessert right now to help me with this.

I’ve given up Sugar (ice cream and doughnuts) and substituted it with fruits (pineapple) and granola. The frappuccinos, mocha lattes and macchiatos have been replaced with sugar-free iced tea and green tea water.

I’ve given up Splenda! I can’t believe it. I used to put it in everything- coffee, oatmeal. I use agave in my oatmeal now and it’s just fine! Also, instead of a cookie, yesterday, I had an apple.

Is a a certified hypnotherapist with a private practice in Santa Monica. She made a major career switch about 3 years ago, when she decided to leave her former career as a victim’s rights and family law attorney (stressful!) in order to pursue what she loved (helping people reach their highest potential!). She works with clients of all ages (although my favorite group to work with is kids and teens). Her areas of expertise include: smoking cessation, insomnia, test anxiety, performance enhancement, confidence building, fears/phobias, habit elimination and eating disorders. She received a Juris Doctorate from USC and a BA degree from UC Berkeley. She is in a committed relationship and has no children (yet), but looks forward to being a mommy someday!
