I haven’t had sugar for 3 months and I don’t even want it now. It doesn’t take will power to stay away from it if you go without for long enough. I stopped consuming sugar to improve my mental health and it helped so much! If you’re trying to stop sugar, keep at it! It gets easier the longer you go without it.

after 2 weeks without sugar, you will be amazed how good a tomato or a mango tastes.

Truth: You searched for it, YT did not recommend this.

I just removed everything in my pantry that conatins sugar. That left me with 3 items left in there. Time to go shopping!

[adamisaac]

33 days without sugar!
Still crave it when I go to the grocery store and see it sometimes.
It’s so hard. But I’m done with my my toxic love affair. Talk about a love hate relationship! Lol!!!

Let's not forget that stress is a major reason why we eat sweets. Most people go to sweets to help them deal with stress. It's not just sweets. Stress causes us to use smoking, drinking, drugs or whatever to jump on the addiction train. Many people feel hopeless when life is not working out the way they thought it would and the cycles of addiction continue. Giving up sugar is good but we also have to deal with stress. Otherwise we'll go from sugar to some other addiction to help us deal with stress. Then the cycle continues again because we aren't focused on what's causing so much stress in the first place.

3.Drink a lot of water
4.Eat balanced meals
5.Lower your stress levels

Bread is another food that needs to be avoided. People don't seem to realize that you get a sugar rush from eating bread.

I'm mainly doing this because sugar makes my acne really bad, but Im amazed out how detrimental it is to our bodies

[TannerCLynn]

Sugar in fruit isn’t bad because fruit has fiber which drastically slows the release of said sugar to a point at which the body can process it without damage.

[tigamarkes]

Sugar is a socially accepted drug. Period.

[CodingMazaa]

So, basically we are replacing heroin overdose with sugar overdose

I moved abroad to France 6 months ago, and it’s crazy to realize how this is something I still struggle with because of the eating habits I had back home in the US. I’m ready to change though this is our wake up call really for anyone trying to make a lifestyle change. There are many benefits to letting go of sugar, when you’re tempted to eat, remember that the healthier version of you is telling you to stop. Letting go of sugar is the best thing we can do for ourselves..

Don't eat processed carbs either. The part where it says to have carbohydrates, proteins, and fats could have been explained a little better. Carb heavy food like pasta and bread is not good for you if eating it consistently. When digested, these foods get converted into sugar as well.

I have quite sweets for 6 months. No candy, cake, ice cream, soda, fruit juice and fruit. I still eat bread and if my wife's recipe have a small amount of sugar I still eat it. The results are incredible my hair has thickened my hair loss seems to have stopped. Despite having quite my workout routine a while back I haven't lost mass the way I used to if I hadn't worked out.
My weight doesn't fluctuate the way it used to and I haven't been sick since I quite. I used to get colds all the time because I work in a freezer and would always cause me to get 3 or 4 colds a year. Sugar is indeed poison.

After reducing my sugar intake to the recommended daily limit, I no longer wake up with excruciating pain in my feet and I'm more sane. 25 grams max now, before I was doing 70+ grams

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be that food. So much of what I teach my client is about this very thing, and yet the mindset to switch away from what they have been told is monumental. One person at a time, it will get better!

If you want to lose weight and keep it off for good, avoid processed sugar. If you crave processed sugar, find natural alternatives such as eating fruit.

I stopped drinking anything with added sugar in it when I was in my early teens (because I didn't like how it feels in my mouth, not because I was a health freak at such a young age). So I only have a glass of milk in the morning and drink water during the rest of the day. My problem is with sweets and chocolate. Can't seem to cut those out of my diet. So now I'm watching whatever anti-sugar video I can find to be more motivated to cut them out 😅
