我真骄傲今天能写下这个回答。
My biggest vice is processed sugar, particularly chocolate. As part of my ‘Sexy by June’ challenge (and my general health), I knew I had to clean up my diet.
我最大的恶习就是吃加工过的糖，尤其是巧克力。我自己设定了“六月份之前瘦下来”的挑战，饮食就是其中（也是我整体健康的）一部分，我知道我得改善饮食了。
I tried in November. I failed.
我11月份尝试了，失败了。
I tried in December. I failed.
12月份尝试了，又失败了。
I tried in January. I failed.
1月份尝试了，再一次失败。
But I had been going about it the wrong way. In February, I decided that I would abide by one simple rule — if I wanted something sugary, I would make it a sugar-free version of it myself, from scratch. I first started with chocolate desserts:
我一直都做错了。二月份我决定要坚守一条简单的原则——想吃甜食时就自己做无糖的。我先从巧克力甜点开始：
Low-carb mousse with double whipped cream and 100% cocoa:
低碳水化合物的慕斯，含有双倍生奶油和100% 的：
Low-carb red kidney bean brownies with 100% cocoa and cream cheese
低碳水化合物的红芸豆饼，含有100% 的和奶油芝士
And then I found myself craving chocolate less and less, so I moved on to non-chocolate desserts:
然后我发现自己对巧克力的依赖越来越少，所以我就开始尝试不含巧克力的甜食：
Low-carb cinnamon cookies with 100% cocoa in cream and cashew milk.
低碳水化合物的肉桂曲奇，含有100%的奶油和腰果乳。
Low-carb carrot cupcakes
低碳水化合物的胡萝卜纸杯蛋糕
Tofu bread with sesame seeds, crushed walnuts and chia seeds
豆腐面包，含有芝麻、碎核桃仁和奇异籽
And then soon after I stopped craving even those, so I turned my attention to savoury baking – this was a low carb cheese, mushroom and spinach pie made with cream cheese, almond flour, feta and mozzarella.
后来很快甚至连这些我也不想吃了，我就开始尝试咸味烘焙——就是低碳水化合物的奶酪、蘑菇和用奶油芝士、杏仁粉、羊乳酪和意大利干酪做的菠菜饼。
I started off wanting to quit processed sugar and ended up developing a massive love for baking. This would have been virtually unthinkable a year ago.
我开始时是想要戒掉加工过的糖，但最终却爱上了烘焙。这在1年前几乎是不敢想象的。
But it worked. I now have a freezer full of frozen desserts that I’m not eating, and I find that with every new thing I make, I crave sugar less and less. I think that the crucial factor in this is that I wasn’t restricting myself, so I never felt like my favourite desserts were in any way made scarce.
但真的有效了。现在冰箱里装满了我不吃的冻甜点，而且我发现每做一样新食品，我对糖的依赖就越少。我觉得其中的关键在于我没有限制自己，所以从未感觉自己最爱吃的甜食被剥夺了。
And the fact that I stopped consuming sugar altered my taste buds completely. I had been going sugar free for so long (and using 100% cocoa with only the tiniest bit of stevia if anything) that going back to the real thing was unbearable. When my best friend and I went to a cocktail bar and I couldn’t even handle the first sip of the cocktail because my mouth burned with sharp, unfamiliar sweetness and my teeth hurt after.
我戒掉了糖也彻底改变了自己的味蕾，这么久不吃含糖食品（有时100% 的里只加最少量的甜叶菊）了再吃真正含糖的东西都受不了。我和最好的朋友去鸡尾酒吧，刚开始只是抿了一小口鸡尾酒我都受不了，我的嘴被那种很冲的不熟悉的甜味灼烧着，后来牙也疼了。
So how did I overcome my sugar addiction? Very ironically, by learning to bake.
所以我是怎么克服吃糖的瘾的呢？真的很出乎意料，是通过学习烘焙。 |
