Sugar free Cupcakes!



Ok, a taste of what is to come in the real world. Sugar is a mean mean thing for anyone trying to watch their weight! I can really find agrave syrup in health store in Melbourne but try and read the abstract from Goop.com and share the world of an alternative way of dealing with sugar addicts.

I guess she is still eating cupcakes so that is a good start of staying normal?

Maybe this is the future of our revamp lifestyle?

GOOP: What effect has it had? What are the health benefits of being wheat and dairy-free?

Erin McKenna: I was never overweight but I dropped about 10 pounds by taking out the gluten, dairy, caffeine, processed foods and sugar and replacing them with whole foods. There was no dieting involved, no carb-counting or fat gram tallying. I was just very careful about my food choices and made sure that I knew what was in everything I was eating before I indulged.

GOOP: What are your must-have ingredients? And where do you get them?

Erin McKenna: My top 3 must have ingredients are coconut oil (it’s really high in lauric acid, stimulates the thyroid and gives almost identical flavor of butter when used properly), agave nectar (I prefer Organic Nectars – it’s low on the glycemic index, non-toxic and tastes just like sugar without the aftertaste) and Bob’s Red Mill gluten-free all purpose baking mix (my whole baking empire would collapse if he went out of business! His product is so incredible). You can get these at health food stores or Whole Foods but if there isn’t one near you, they’re all available online (check out www.nutiva.com, www.organicnectars.com, www.bobsredmill.com).
