Virgin Diet vs. Sugar Impact Diet

JJ Virgin has two diets that she has created (or lifestyles as I like to say). The first one is the Virgin Diet. In the Virgin Diet you cut out 7 foods (sugar/artificial sweeteners, corn, dairy, eggs, gluten, peanuts and soy) and then reintroduce them to see which foods you are intolerant to and are causing you to gain weight. This is the diet my dad and I originally did. I then heard about her Sugar Impact Diet which I am IN LOVE WITH! 

I am a sugarholic. If there are donuts or any type of sweets in the teachers lounge at school I will not stop thinking about them until I have whatever it is. I crave sugar all the time and hate that it has taken over my life. When I heard about JJ's Sugar Impact Diet I was so interested. I read the book and was ready to get going! (I also watched Fed Up which got me even more excited!) Basically what you do is for two weeks you eliminate ALL sugars. I know this sounds hard but it only 2 weeks of your life. You can do anything for 2 weeks! 

The week before (last week for me) I tapered off of sugar. Do not go into it cold turkey otherwise you will most likely end up failing. You need to slowing taper yourself off of sugar. So this past week I tapered and today I have begun DAY 1!! I will be logging my success on the Sugar Impact Diet as I go. 

I am ready to kiss my sugar cravings GOODBYE!!
