Earlier this year, I aimed to cut down on sugar. This didn’t seem too big a feat since I'm not a dessert person. Sure, I like the occasional good scoop of ice cream or frozen yogurt, but I've never been a big cake, pie, cookie or brownie-type guy. I also have a sheer distaste for "sweet" savory food. I want my savory food to be deeply rich and, well … savory, with no errant sweet undertones whatsoever.
Unfortunately, if you mix some form of dairy with some sort of sweetener or flavoring and a few shots of espresso, you've got me. Between coffee drinks and Mountain Dew, in all its effervescent, neon green glory, I love a sweet drink, but even those indulgences are relatively easy to curb.
