Coconut & Almond Truffles

smc

I had a lovely lunch last weekend with Alex and we were discussing how much sugar impacts on how much we eat. We’ve both had a similar experience – by reducing sugar we have reduced the craving for more food. It’s like sugar runs another program in my brain that overrides my ‘satisfied’ belly. We have both found that by cutting down on sugar of any kind, the feeling of ‘enough’ could truly be felt and over-eating is no longer a driving force at meal time. Inspired by this conversation, I’ve created a ‘sweet treat’ that is lovely to offer … Continue reading Coconut & Almond Truffles
