No sugar 100 days today. I feel great! I've lost 20 plus pounds and my arthritis thanks me. Once you go just a few days the sugar cravings dissipate. Today, I am not even the slightest bit tempted. I've taken my life back and clean eating is here to stay. :)

I brush and floss my teeth after I am done eating dinner. It keeps me from eating anymore because I dont want to brush and floss my teeth again.

I couldn’t stop sugar without intermittent fasting. By Day Two of my 16/8 fast, my sugar cravings were GONE. No psychology needed! I’m 55 and have been morbidity obese for 23 years. Now, instead of my coffee with cream and sugar first, I have plain tea, then eat from 10-6. Life changing! I’m free of sugar cravings 😄

"Pie is short lived enjoyment, living in a fit healthy body is lifelong freedom." TY, great statement gonna type that out and put it in my fridge!

March 12 will be my two year anniversary of being sugar-free. I ransacked my house and got rid of everything. The key is you have to allow enough time to pass for your palate to change. I don’t know how long it took me but since I had nothing in the house and I really don’t go out to eat that much those first eight month’s weren’t too hard.
I went to my mothers house for Christmas. It was my first Christmas sugar-free so I was slightly concerned but I kept telling myself I had made it this far so I must keep pressing on. Now – she made my favorite cookies and she’s 80 years old. I didn’t wanna hurt her feelings so I told her I would sample them which meant one bite and let her know how they came out.
These were my favorite cookies! I used to bang down three or four with a cup of coffee with no problem. I took one bite and the sweetness just locked me up LOL I couldn’t eat anymore, neither did I have the desire to. It didn’t taste the same. It was way too sweet and amazingly enough, I didn’t like it anymore. That’s when you know you’ve turned the corner!

I was a total sugar addict. Haven’t had sugar in 20 months with only 3-4 exceptions. Feel so much better and felt 🤢 when I did give in this very few times. Love these tips. They work!

I went on a sugar bender yesterday so this was just what I needed! Thank you

Sugar free for 2 years. Reading labels is key on everything. Sugar is added to so many things that absolutely don't need it. The food industry is figuring out that people want healthier alternatives so you can find many foods that are labeled "no sugar added" including ketchup, pasta sauce and salad dressings.

The most important step to abstaining from sugar is to completely eliminate sugar from your home, and this is what I did when I decided to follow the keto diet a year and five months ago.
Once you follow keto, you will discover that it works wonders .

I’m so glad I found your channel! I was sugar free for years…. And now I need to get back to that practice. I’ll feel better, lose weight and actually eat like a queen! I can do it and I’m excited to have your channel as a guide and inspiration! I’m on day 1!!!😎

[joebarbuto]

I've minimized my sugar intake and it has benefitted me in achieving my weight goal as well as my health. But Dr. Becky you are sweet and that's one sweet I'm having difficulty eliminating. 😘

Before / after photo, wow. Spectacular job dialing in your diet and exercise! You look spectacular!

Dr. Becky! How can you be so right? Such great advice that makes SENSE! I have changed to a lo-carb, high fat diet, no sugar and I have lost 4 lbs. in 1 week. I just had a lot of belly fat and arm/back fat that was really bumming me out. Never had that 10 years ago! I am 59 and post menopausal and a fitness instructor. Just want to transform my body to get rid of that fat. Also, I was HUNGRY ALL THE TIME!!!! I am eating the healthy foods I love MINDFULLY! It’s working! I don’t need that “dessert” after each meal. I was making “healthy desserts” but still full of carbs like dates, almond flour, monkfruit sweetener, apples...that just does not work for me cuz it keeps that sweet tooth alive, as you say! The number on the scale is encouraging for sure but not my ultimate goal. Thank you, thank you!

[ncprice]

You have come a long way! I remember when your husband was in the video's too. I always liked your sensible approach to low-carb/keto weight loss and am happy to see that you're still going strong. Best wishes!

I dropped sugar completely 3 months ago. The first week was a bit hard. I was craving it, I was a tad cranky and was tired in the afternoon. But for me, when I got past that period, everything changed! My energy soared. My cravings went away. Even today, 3 months later, I have no desire for a cookie, or cake, or dessert. I can serve it to others as I did this weekend when we had guests and watch them eat, and I do not feel a craving.

Thanks Dr Becky! I appreciate all the info you give us. You info makes a lot of sense!

Been sugar-free for two years now. My next challenge: Caffeine Addiction

[susancrowshaw]

Great video. Be kind to yourself, if you fall off the wagon get back on. Tomorrow is another day - the day will come when the cravings go away. I'm no longer tempted by things I used to enjoy because now I feel horrible after eating them. Good luck to everyone xxx

[Chhipz]

Stoppers are a great idea. I'm definitely going to try implementing them, thank you!

Well done dear Becky. I am following your steps "in my way" (Diabetes type 1 here). Greetings from Bosnia.
