We all know that sugar is a significant cause of weight gain and aging, but the taste of sweetness remains a powerful seductress that often gets the best of us. It’s true that by cutting refined sugar out of your diet you can curb sugar and carbohydrate cravings. But the fact is, a little bit of sweetness in our lives produces endorphins that make us happy, and happiness is important!

-No Carbs (For those of you still stuck in Atkins- land)
-No Sodium
