   Can you resist cream cakes? I miss my sugar! I've decided to lose weight and I had to give up cakes. It's difficult because I have a sweet tooth and I love cream cakes.

Not having treats can be good for your health. I've heard that the Burtsa family of five in South East Englandlived sugar free for a whole year after they found out their daughter had diabetes (糖尿病).It wasn't easy. To avoid temptationI don't go to any bakeriesbut this family actually owns onewhich makes up to 3000 cakes a week.

They were in shock when the doctor said that their 16-year-old Lucy had to check her blood sugar levels regularly and take insulin (膜岛素).He advised her to eat a normalbalanced dietbut the Burts went further and got rid of sugar altogether.

And how does it feel to live without sugar for a while? Jason Burt said that for a month they felt weak. But later on it all changed. He says he feels "more awake" and full of energy.

And what about the Burt family business? It had to keep using half a ton of sugar a week and any cook worth his salt knows that you have to taste a recipe to know if it's right. No problem theresays Jason Burt's wifeClare. She points out that she's got lots of people offering to taste the cakes for them. The family is also thinking about selling more delicious products.

    I wonder what makes us have a strong desire for sweet food. Anyway I've decided to forget about the sweet taste of sugar for a while. As British model Kate Moss says: “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels. ”
