No flour, No sugar

So my life really does revolve around food. I am constantly thinking about it. What is for dinner? I can't wait for breakfast. What will I make for lunch? For the boys? For me?

This past summer I changed the way I eat. I was having acne issues and changed my diet. No more bread, or anything with white flour (including gravy) or white or refined sugar. I started experimenting with different kids of sugar and flours. Some good, almond flour, some not so good, garbanzo bean flour. (makes gravy and especially sweets taste weird)

But overall I did okay. Once I stopped eating sugar, the less I wanted it. Chocolate was a whole other story. I ate 75% to 86% cacao. After a while, milk chocolate just tastes gross. (too sweet) Two good things about the diet is that my acne cleared up and two, I lost 15 pounds in 3 months! And I have managed to keep it off. Around the holidays it was really hard to do and so I just gave in and ate crap (cookies and bars and yummy Christmas food) Then I had house guests and made tons of bread and sweets for them so I did eat some of that. Now I am back on the diet, my face was getting bad again. I eat lots of berries and salads and they are yummy. I have been wanting to make chocolate chip cookies but have not caved yet... I long can I go. This is now day 3 and counting...
