It really is amazing. That, and not eating dairy makes a big difference in energy level for me. Night and day.

Same with sugar (like you said). Try Agave Nectar. That is what we use. Only other sweetner you should consider is Stevia (Truvia brand is made from stevia).

ETA: A comment on "Fish Oil". Consider buying Omega-3 tablets. "Fish Oil" typically has both Omega 3 and Omega 6. If they are not in the right combinations (which they aren't in most packagings), then it throws the whole game off (and can actually be more harmful than good). Our bodies definitely get enough Omega 6 in foods. Just buy Omega 3 tablets (I recently stole Fish Oil from my mother and replaced it with Omega 3. ha!). It will be right next to the "Fish Oil" in the aisle.

I'll dig out my capsules and post what they are - Julie actually sent them to me for Christmas and they aren't just straight fish oil. They have a bunch of wonderful things in them besides the fish oil
