1 Welcome to my Sugar Free World Since I have given up sugar and many other often harmful (legal) substances such as gluten, dairy and others, I have improved my energy, digestive issues, overall health and weight. All my clients have managed to get rid of sugar or at least decrease it substantially and improved conditions such as high cholesterol, pre-diabetes/diabetes, inflammation, chronic pain, weight and of course their energy and stress levels too. Here are my favorite 3 R tools which I like to share to help you getting rid of sugar in your life and a bonus recipe to make your own delicious sugarfree chocolate.

7 Bonus: Sugar, dairy and guilt-free Chocolate This has become my favorite. Can a totally guilt-free chocolate taste this good? I think yes but you have to try it out and let me know your opinion. Ingredients: 1 cup of Extra virgin, organic Coconut oil ½ cup of Organic raw cocoa powder 1 TS of Stevia (you may want to add more or less depending on the desired sweetness. Stevia can be bitter, so be careful) 1 TS Vanilla Essence 2 TBS Maca Powder (optional) 1/8 cup of Nuts (almonds, walnuts or hazelnuts), cut roughly Combine the first 5 ingredients in a bain-marie (also called water bath or double boiler) until smooth and liquid, the water should only simmer, not boil. (Follow the Wikipedia link to see how to set up an improvised bain-marie) Pour the mixture as a thin layer of around a ¼ inch into ice-cube holders or small Tupperware containers and sprinkle the nuts over it. Freeze for 2 hours, keep in the fridge or freezer and remove 5 minutes prior eating. Enjoy the melt!
