Sugar free month is on for the first time this year. It was held in September and it was free to participate. We participated in this and enjoyed ourselves.
Sugar free month is a month where you have to read the labels for most things and cut out white or refined sugar which is more than 5-10g per thing. Some of the included sugars are alright especially in milk. The aim of this is to teach all Australians and International students alike to have a healthy diet which is not full of sugars.
You get used to not having sugar for the month after a few days. Here we had all sorts of snacks which didn't involve sugar such as peanut butter, cheese, milk and the like. Occasionally we would have things which have added sugar in them which we did not know about.
The mood swings varied. As a woman I did have pms at one stage but we effectively managed it by eating lots of proteins, exercising and the like. The sleeping patterns were always good except for just a little bit of bad night's sleep. I didn't have a lot of sugar cravings to begin with but sometimes at events I did.
I think for the next sugar challenge I need to learn to control these at events. But I do recommend that you do it just to learn how to have better health.
