I. Love. Sugar… There are actually days where I come to the end and reflect on my nourishment for the day only to be deeply saddened by the list before me. Latte and pancakes for breakfast.

{Update January 2016: I’ve tried many programs over the past couple of years since I started sharing my addiction journey in this online space. This is the food plan I honestly believe I found the most success on. I’m starting it back with a few tweaks, including adding fasting days. Please follow along in my current…
