About

I’m Joi. I went through several years of knowing there was something wrong, and not finding anyone who could tell me what it was. I went from doctor to doctor and could never get a straight answer.

I took matters into my own hands, made some changes to my diet and found out I had Candida Related Complex. It gets misdiagnosed all the time, which is why it took me so long to finally find out what it was.

In 2008, on March 7th, I began the Attogram program to heal from CRC. It required me to go without sugar, in any form, for at least 15 months. Before that, the longest I had been without sugar was a week! I had no idea how I was going to make it, but my health was more important to me. So on that day, I said no to sugar and yes to my health. I started this blog as a way to focus on the foods that I could eat, instead of whining about the foods I couldn’t have.

It’s been close to two years and I have survived, actually thrived, without sugar. Though I’ve been on the Attogram program for a while, I still have more healing to do. So I continue to make as many sugar free treats as I can.
