New Year, New Diet!

Okay, okay, I'm back. And this time, I have a new plan up my sleeve. It's February in Chicago so it's too cold for raw food, but I've been sleeping like crap and my pants are a bit too tight. To remedy, or experiment anyway, I've recruited mrmacbri to help me give SugarBusters a whirl. For those not familiar, here are the rules we'll be working with:

-No refined sugar (this includes honey, maple syrup, etc)
-No refined carbs (white flour, white rice)
-No corn, beets, white potatoes, parsnips
-Basically nothing with more than 3g of sugar in it, unless the sugar is from fruit
-Red wine is allowed, but no other beer/alcohol
-3 servings of fruit are allowed, but I'm going to try to keep it to 2
-3 (1/2 cup) servings of whole grains are allowed (again I'm trying to keep it to 2)

Also:

The question of dairy has been very confusing (most dairy products have more than 3g of sugar, due to lactose), but I'm going to eat it minimally, as I see fit.

Though whole wheat is allowed, I'm planning on going without, just because.

Co-conspirators always welcome. Otherwise, please keep me away from baked goods and send me some sugar free chocolate.

Onward!
