| All packed for my east coast trip, thanks to Bhu Foods! |
The chocolatier, the better. I've made no qualms and secrets about it over the years. When they go salty, I go sweet. I'm not gonna sit up here and act like it's not a problem, though.
In the totality of my fitness journey, taming my sweet tooth has been the most difficult part of the ride. Meal prep? No problem. Lift heavy weights? My pleasure. Cardio? Ehhhh....(I'll still do it though).
But give up the sweet stuff? Nah, sprinkle me mayne.
Up until this point, I've straight played myself with the "everything in moderation" mantra - which basically means walk the straight and narrow Monday thru Thursday, and go off the rails all weekend long.
Problematic, for sure.
That cycle has run it's course, and I've gotten on my own nerves enough to the point where I'm ready to do something about it. I've decided that if I'm really serious about reaching my 2018 goals, I best get my butt into gear. I mean shoot, it's almost July already. (Where did the time go?) Not to mention, the negative impact on my skin and psoriasis.
That's why I'm teaming up with Bhu (pronounced "boo") Foods to give myself 30 days to get this sugar habit in check. Bhu Foods is a fit food company based out of San Diego, California and prides themselves on creating alternatives to sugar-laden snacks that are lower carb, high fiber, keto friendly, paleo, vegan, etc.

Starting today (yes, in the middle of the week while I'm outta town 'cause I ain't got time to wait for another Monday to roll around), I'm committing to taming my sweet tooth within 30 days, with the help of Bhu. My goal is simple - any time I crave a cookie, chocolate bar, cupcake, etc, I'm reaching for a Bhu Foods snack. For the next month, I'll be munching on:
- Bhu Fit Primal Protein Salted Caramel + Pecan Bars (220 cal / 17g fat / 10g carbs / 13g protein /1g sugar / 9g fiber)
- Bhu Fit Primal Protein Vanilla Almond Cashew Bars (210 cal / 15g fat / 9g carbs / 15g protein /1g sugar / 9g fiber)
- Bhu Fit Protein Chocolate Chip Cookies (200 cal / 16g fat / 16g carbs / 10g protein /0g sugar / 8g fiber)
- Bhu Fit Protein Double Dark Chocolate Cookies(200 cal / 16g fat / 17g carbs / 10g protein /0g sugar / 9g fiber)
(Oh, and you can totally find Bhu goodies at Vitamin Shoppe!)
I'm expecting great things to come of this experience - and hopefully some progress that helps me move the needle toward my goals. At the end of 30 days, I'll be checking back in here on the blog. But in the meantime, you can follow me on Instagram @maneobjective and @30daysofdope to keep up with my posts and Instastories along this sugar-busting challenge and my journey overall!
