Sweet foods aren't actually bad for us. What we have is an issue where our ability to appreciate naturally sweet foods has been distorted.

Sugar is the easiest form of energy, our brains love it! So if it's an option we will naturally pick it over all other things.

As food production has evolved this natural preference has been honed in on & exploited to drive sales. We buy products packed with added sugars &/or sweeteners, & suddenly we can't get enough of them or tell how sweet things like fruit, veg, nuts, seeds, coconut & cinnamon are.

However, with 7 days of effort, your taste can reset. And then we can get back to enjoying naturally delightful & nourishing sweetness as in this wonderful recipe.
