That's the point. You aren't really going sugar free. Honey, even raw, organic, gmo free, gluten free, and dairy free honey is still sugar.
Tasty bee barf.
But then I like dairy too! ;-)

I agree completely with watching the carbs (even healthy ones). Our bodies don't react the same to carbs. I juice because honestly I enjoy it and I see less hormonal acne when I have a glass of juiced fruits and veggies every day. Would I do a juice fast again? Probably not because I don't think it's necessary, but it wasn't so bad and it got me interested in making my own juices.kamakazeekim wrote: »You have to love Mondays!
Not much I can add to this thread but there is one comment I would like to make to the poster who is juicing...you stated that you have PCOS...I too have PCOS. Stay AWAY from the juice! It's mostly sugar. Many women with PCOS find that their bodies do not handle carbs very well (sugar=carbs) and many end up being insulin resistant or diabetic. It is not "added sugar" you have to be concerned about but your overall daily intake of carbs. If it made you feel better but cutting stuff out then that's awesome and good for you! I personally believe that moderation is the key to long term success but I do concede that some people have "trigger foods" and they find they are most successful when totally eliminating the temptation.
I subscribe mostly to the theory that as long as I'm under my daily alotted calories then I don't sweat what I eat too much, but eating the cookies, candies etc puts me over so I'm trying to cut back on the amount I'm eating. I have a huge sweet tooth and it's something I've made a goal to get under control because I just FEEL BETTER when I eat less of the junk. I can eat a bowl of strawberries with some redi-whip for under 60 calories whereas a candy bar will set me back a cool 280 which I'll gobble down quickly and then regret because I didn't enjoy it THAT much.
So at the end of the day all the "internet science" people are providing to disprove my theory that I feel better with less junk food in my system really doesn't matter to me. It just matters that I see and feel a difference.
Nobody has said that or are trying to disprove your theory. Everyone is saying.....the sugar is the same between "junk food" and juices....that's it. You're reading way more into this than needs to be.
Lulz at "internet science" jab at those who do their research.
Research PCOS, PCOS diets and PCOS reversal.
Have a nice day.
Wait, if I use Google to do this, do I turn into a dreaded "internet science" person?0 -

I have PCOS and was explicitly told by multiple doctors not to juice or drink juice...
For someone suddenly advocating research, you didn't seem to want to hear from anyone willing to provide research previously.0 -

OMG haha. I'm not normally bothered by discussions of bee barf and such, but you made me cringe.

I am sorry I ever posted hear and if I offended anyone on wanting some information on this I am sorry. I can't figure out how to remove my post. I just know when my kids get sugar from candy vs fruit they act differently.

OP, I don't know anything about detoxing, but I will ask you a question about what "sugar-free" means to you? Are you hoping to eliminate all sugar sources from your diet or just reducing as much added sugar as you can in your diet? Eliminating all sugar will basically be impossible. You would have to stop eating not only cakes, cookies, chocolate but fruits as well. You could survive by having complex carbohydrates since they will break down to supply your body with sugar. However, sugar and salt and fat add a lot of flavor to foods so eliminating these types of things will leave you with food that is just not going to be satisfying, and ultimately not sustainable.
If you find yourself overeating sugary foods, then eliminating them temporarily from your diet may help you. It can change your taste as well as force you to seek out new foods that you may really enjoy. However, moderation will probably be key. As to my personal experience, I have gone up and down with my weight as an adult. First, I lost about 45 lbs with weight watchers and then gained it back slowly and hit my highest weight while pregnant with my first child. I did low carb dieting to lose 30 lbs but then started to gain that back. I tried low carb again after my second child was born, but only lost about 18 lbs and since put that back on and then some . I am now using MFP to track my calories, and no foods are off limits. My past experience with low carb has helped me to find dinnertime meals that don't involve additional carbs. I have room in my diet for proteins and fats to keep me satiated and to hopefully (along with exercise) minimize my lean muscle mass loss, and I can still enjoy sweet treats in moderation and yummy sandwiches for lunch. Oh and I have lost 14 lbs in the past 6 weeks! If you want to reduce sweet treats then that is fine; however, realize that sugar is sugar, and you can overeat fruit as well as cookies. Use your new cookbook to try out recipes that will expand your cooking horizon but please don't feel that sugar will ruin your diet goals.0 -

You can do it! You have the right idea, get rid of as many processed foods s you possibly can. Shop in the produce and frozen sections to purchase whole foods.
Natural sugar found in fruits/vegetables is what our bodies are meant to handle.
I also do not advocate artifical sweetners!0 -

Dairy's not quite as gross. Unless it's yogurt, then it's bacteria barf.
Tasty tangy bacteria barf.

wouldn't frozen foods/vegetables count as processed?
what are you defining as processed?
do you have a medical condition that makes sugar bad for you? I do not limit my sugar and my blood work was nearly perfect at this years physical.

You mean the sugars that are identical to those in candy bars, soft drinks, pastries, etc? They are identical chemically and in the way they get processed by the human body.
