Subject: Clean eaters: what are your vices? Question for those of you who avoid processed, refined and chemical-full foods and have adopted a clean eating philosophy: What's your vice? What thing(s) do you feel you maybe should give up but can't? I tend to make good choices all day long: whole oats, fruits, egg whites, greek yogurt, non-hormone chicken, cooking dinners at home every night, homemade gluten free bread, almond butter made of plain almonds. But the one thing I cannot give up is Splenda/fake sugar. I don't do regular sugar at all (but maybe once in a blue moon and I always feel pretty yucky after) but I love sweet. I can't live without Splenda in my coffee, my oatmeal, my tea. And I also take a splash of processed to crap sugar-free Coffeemate in my coffee every morning. And while I'm confessing, I must chew at least 3 pieces of sugarless gum a day. It's a processed chemical, the jury's kind of still out on Splenda but I just doubt it's great for me. I'm just wondering who else proclaims themselves to be a clean eater but can't give up that "dirty" little something?? |
