At New Years, I gave up sugar.
Of course, this does not mean that I never have sugar but I make a conscious choice to not eat sugar or sugary stuff.
If you had told me a year before that I would no longer be driving up to the Right Bite for an incredible cinnamon roll (or two).
It was a short leap from no sugar to raw food.
Leap might not describe it best because the journey begins with short steps.
I stopped sugar by avoiding the cinnamon rolls and the candy and sweets and desserts that were a large part of my life.
Then I began extending my sugar free journey by cutting out other sources of sugar.
  I knew I had it the sugar addiction over and done with when I went to my friend's house for a meal.
She served home made beans, rolls, red wine, and fruit cocktail.
It sounds healthy enough.
Lentils, fruit, and a glass of wine now and then is good for you.
After I ate, my heart began to pound.
It was literally knocking against my chest the sugar rush was so bad.
  Her beans were made with brown sugar and molasses, and the fruit cocktail was canned and she had added pumpkin preserved in a heavy liquid.
The wine was a sweet wine.
There was more sugar in that meal than in three cookies.
I was sugar sensitive and the journey had been almost invisible.
Just one step at a time.
Raw food transition would be about the same procedure.
  At least for me.
I plan to begin slowly by trying vegetable juicing and cold vegetable soups.
