Well done. I ...Hi Sarah, great effort on your part. Well done. I truly believe that sugar really is toxic, especially for children and it is definitely the culprit when it comes to weight gain. I have lost so much weight and still eat muffins and even a little cake, but they are all sugar free and gluten free and still the weight drops off me. I have also started substituting quinoa flour for part of the rice flour just to use less rice flour. Quinoa is also high in protein and I am trying everything at the moment to increase our protein intake, without resorting to meat everyday. As far as the sugar goes, use fruit instead, even dried fruit and bananas for the sweetness. Very soon you will think that everything else is sickly sweet. Stevia is also a good bet (you can find it unprocessed at the organic store but it will turn everything green). You only need the tiniest amount for sweetness. Patrick Holford is also a believer in xylitol. That may work especially in the beginning stages when you are trying to break the sugar habit. Good luck:)Edwinahttp://mymezzaluna.comnoreply@blogger.com
