It's 100% worth it!!!!!!!!!!! Try and eat as natural as possible, veggies, grains, meats, poultry, try plain Greek yogurt with a bit of Cinnamon it is a great way to elevate you blood sugar levels. Good Luck

You stated earlier that you "stay as far away from it as possible" but coupled it with " a great way to elevate" blood sugar. You admit to eating things with sugars. The contradictions are astounding.0 -

If sugar is so bad then why is 25 grams or less OK?

Maybe the poison doesn't activate until you hit 26 grams.

Sugar is so evil that the body can produce it from non-carbohydrate sources ... that seems to contradict the sugar is poison, sugar is horrible position expressed here.0

I said something about sugar on here and you'd think I knocked the candy bar outta peoples hands. lol. Look on the internet for some tips. The fact that you want sugar outta your diet is a personal decision. The less sugar you eat the less you crave, I cut out sugar a while back and now I don't hardly look twice at it. Good luck!0

yea, google sugar on the internet that sounds like a great strategy to learn nothing.

right, is that when the fiber runs out?0 -
Cutting out sugar (truly eliminating the "poison") requires eliminating fruits and vegetables from one's diet. Carbohydrates, which are predominantly consumed in the form of sugars, are one of three macronutrients the body needs. Weight loss from low carb is primarily in the form of water weight as the muscles no longer store their preferred source of rapidly available energy ... once the body has again has the opportunity to store glycogen, it does along with the required water resulting in a weight fluctuation.
How a person divides their macronutrient ratios is a personal choice. Demonizing any of the macros with fallacies is not required and fallacies must be corrected.0 -

If you haven't already, watch "Fed Up" on Netflix...
I have been trying to eliminate added sugars from my diet...mainly by stopping soda etc. Yeah there's sugar in pretty much everything, but you really dont need all that sugar. When you eat things with added sugar you are not doing your body any good.. releasing all that insulin because you dont have the fiber with the sugar to aid in digestion.
Naturally occuring sugar isnt bad for you, its the straight up added sugars in food and especially fruit juices that are bad for you. I've been limiting added sugars for a week and a half now and I can already feel a difference in my body.
Watch "Fed Up," its an eye opener... and when you're done with that try out "Bite Size." Also on Netflix.0 -

Because fiber is the antidote to poison! Have you not been paying attention?

Fed Up is bovine excrement. I fail to see the logic behind basing nutritional choices on a scare mongering pseudo-documentary that fails to withstand the most basic scientific scrutiny.0

3 pages in before someone mentioned Fed Up in a sugar thread??? Impressive. I was starting to hope that everyone had learned that mockumentary was mostly bunk....apparently not.0

Hey guys, Lol I didn't think this would start such a chain of reactions but I honestly don't mind. So the "diet" is called a 21 day sugar detox. For the record, I have discussed it with my doctor and he is all on board. I mainly posted on here for some creative recipe ideas as I don't want to get bored with the same old recipes. I am cutting out breads, most carbs and fruits (with the exception of a green tipped banana or a green apple). I can have lean meats, 1/2 a cup of legumes, quinoa, brown rice, and nuts except for cashews and peanuts. Again I am only doing this for 21 days as a way to curb my sugar cravings. Due to recent events in my life I seem to resort to these types of foods that are omitted by this plan which will hopefully help to curb those cravings and allow me to reintroduce "sugars" in a much more healthier way. I work better with structure so following a plan and learning about different types of sugars and how they affect my body works best for me. It definitely is not for everybody but with doctor supervision and careful review of changes in my body I am comfortable with this plan. So.. if anyone has any recipes that are "paleo" that are full of flavor I'm all ears as I'd rather get my recipes from word of mouth rather than a generic online recipe 0

A fat or sugar cleanse is the best thing to do for yourself, because sugary foods, as well as fried and fast foods are so devoid of digestive enzymes that they collect by means of cellulite and excess fat. Try Green Tea in order to eliminates fatty wastes, and add Ginseng Extract to control sugar cravings...
Here is a recipe for a delicious MORNING juice:- 2 apples
- 2pears
- slice of fresh ginger
- 2 cups water
- 1/4 cup green chard or kale
- 1/4 cup green onion
- 1/8 cup firm tofu or AVOCADO
- 2 tbs white miso paste (I like the kind with BONITO flavoring)
- 1 sheet (1/4 cup) nori (dried seaweed), cut into large rectangles , optional
Peppermint tea, apple juice (homemade), or licorice tea rebalance and restore normal body pH...
Fiber from whole grains and veggies gets rid of excess sugar, improves glucose metabolism, promotes weight loss and reduces sugar cravings.
A 15 minute dry sauna 3x a week really helps balance sugar levels.
8 glasses of water a day.. #1 catalyst for fat burning, and flushing of toxins.
