I LOL'd at that. This IS an interesting group of people.
Smh
I should have added that they are brighter than they might seem. I sometimes wish they would discuss things a little more respectfully, but hey, maybe then it would be so boring I wouldn't be tuning in.

I got bingo. Sugar is evil, processed foods, mean people, abstinence is easier than moderation, name calling when you can't put together a constructive argument to prove your point and fake accounts. OP, you want to cut out sugar, go for it. But the others arguments are valid and name calling makes you look small. Some of the others......oh boy.0

I'm so excited! I haven't read through the entire thread, yet, but that's exactly what I'm doing (3 weeks without sweets/chocolate). Chocolate is my N-E-M-E-S-I-S!
I'm only 4 days in, but! Only 17 more to go! ;D
Good luck to you on your goal!0 -

^^ Aren't those mini's the best things ever? Love them, well worth each and every little calorie. Is it just me, or do they taste better than the larger ones.

I think it's hilarious how uppity folks get when anyone mentions cutting out processed sugar. Nobody is trying to force it on anybody else. Some people feel better when they don't have sugar in their diet. What's the big deal?0

And the longer you stick with it the easier it becomes. The cravings do subside and in my case, when I do have some sort of candy or baked good it is so overwhelming sweet I only need a couple bites.0 -

If I had mentally grasped the the craving would subside I think I could have pushed through the two hellish weeks it took for my cravings to start fading away years ago. Well falsely thinking carbs are a needed food group also held me from cutting out added sugar too.

how's about you do what you want and the o.p. can do what they want?-1 -
No need to lecture the guy - not gonna fix him. Meanwhile, the stupid comments are briefly fun to read. Might be a troll anyway - 13000+ posts, are they all like that? See, this why "ignore-user" was so great.0

OP, what improvements have you noticed?0

Keep at it! I'm on paleo and have cut added sugar, caffeine, dairy and gluten it for 2 months, it was hard at first, but gets better. My doc ok'd reasonable amount of stevia and 100% dark chocolate(if your can handle it :-)). Now fruit is all I need for sweetsmikediverfl wrote: »no sugar for three weeks. On track feeling good.

No sugar for three weeks? Congratulations on your impending hospitalization and death. :-P0
-
I don't eat added sugars. So just naturally occurring sugar. It's always hard the first week! Great job for getting to 3 weeks! Ignore the haters. Your doing what works for you feel free to add me 0

mikediverfl - I'm on day 10 of cutting out added sugar and I don't eat too many sweats and I'm feeling good too! Still struggling a bit for my super sweet coffee fix but that will pass...........so I hear 0

You do know that Honey is sugar and that blueberries contain sugar as do most of the things you've been eating. I think you use the word sugar and do not know what it means0 -
Just wondering how you avoid all sugar? I understand not eating any highly processed foods, because they pretty much all have added sugar and/or sodium, but what are you eating to avoid sugars that are in raw fruits and vegetables? Even meat has some naturally occurring sugar.
I guess I am a hater, but I don't see how it is possible or sustainable.0 -
In his defense, he did clarify in a later post that he meant he cut down on sugar in his snacks:

I log everything I eat plus everything I do in the gym. I eat within my limit to loose 1-2 lbs a week. I do not eat candy/cokes/pies/brownies ect ect . thats what I mean by sugar. Junk food was the love of my life.. I did't mean to start an argument here. Looks like I posted in the wrong place and to some didn't clarify what I meant..

The thing is making bold statements like I've quit sugar is meaningless as is I've cut out all Junk food. I personally don't really care what people cut out that's there look out. It's this strange attitude especially to sugar that because they count it as 'processed' it's going to miraculously make them healthier. Honey has the same chemical make up as HFCS so one is good just because bees make it? That's just plain silly.0

Another sugar is the devil thread.......as I have said hundreds of times, I eat sugary foods and have reverse my heart issues and this past Monday my doctor said I am great health. So I will keep eating sugary foods in moderation. 0

I personally think it is unnecessary to cut out ANY food (unless of course you have an allergy or it makes you feel ill, etc.). Eat in moderation and exert yourself every now and then. Figure out what works for you and follow that plan.
