[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I limited myself for years and just craved desserts all the time.  Now we have sweets in the house and don't limit desserts and I'd say most of us will have it 3-4 days a week.  It really does make a difference for us to know that it's there, but not make a big deal out of it.  Typical desserts range from a hershey's miniature if it was a big meal to a bowl of berries with homemade whipped cream, to a piece of a cake or pie. We are a very fit family and I'm at my best when I don't limit my food- around 5'4" and 118. [/quote]

Interesting.  I'm Kenyan and grew up with absolutely no, and I mean no refined sugar in my diet as a kid. Cookies, cakes, ice cream, candy, sugar cereal, never had them. Fruit such as mango, passion fruit, and banana were the only sugar we had.  I'm from a family of 4 kids. None of us like sugar. When I have a dessert I can't finish it. The sugar so so overpowering,  it is almost as bad as grabbing a handful of salt and putting it in my mouth. I think the American diet craves it because your babies are given it pretty early in life and you crave it, making it very had as to ever step away from. Because I dont like sugar, and I'm in charge of the food, i never have it in the house. Though my kids are not as extreme as me in my dislike for sickening sweet foods, they certainly dont ask for it.[/quote]
