“Nothing. At least I didn’t use any substitutes on my 30-day journey. Sugar alcohols, like xylitol, for instance, still program your brain to want sugar, so it doesn’t break the cycle. Alternative sugars—whether they are “natural” like honey or not—all switch on the brain’s dopamine centers and mess with our biochemical pathways. Remember it’s addictive and it acts like an addiction in our bodies! I typically rely on more spices to flavor—cinnamon, vanilla extract, turmeric, cayenne, chili, and cumin are some of my favorites. Eating two fruits a day should be suffice for sugar intake if you don’t want to remove fruits entirely.”
On getting in the kitchen:
“Use good, stable oils for cooking like olive oil and coconut oil. Stay away from vegetable oils like canola, as they are harmful at the cellular level. Roasting, steaming and eating fresh veggies are all very good. I’d avoid juices and in most cases, smoothies as well. Cooking with vinegar is okay!”
