I tried it and failed miserably, like a sore loser only after 5 days.
I don't mind the 2sp sugar in my coffee anymore.

Well, the good news is that you "failed" at a completely arbitrary and unnecessary thing, so no loss!
I live to eat, too. No shame and no regret. Food is awesome.0 -

I think I have bad cravings honestly. I crave sugar in the afternoons when I have down time (I've been trying to stay busy) and when I have a particularly savory meal, other times too. I try when I shop to buy healthier options to curb those cravings, one of my goals by doing this 21 day thing is to help curb them.
Best of success @Cylie5 and welcome to MFP forums.
When I went off most all sugars and all forms of grains in Oct 2014 due to longevity concerns I found my physical cravings for all types of carbs just quickly lost their grip on me after the 14 day mark but the mental cravings can still pop up after 18 months of eating <50 grams of carbs daily but that is more rare 1.5 years later.
Now I did try to taper off of sugar and grains during all of Aug-Sep 2014 and was a total failure is the reason I left them cold turkey Oct 2014
Please post if you have similar results and what happens craving wise when you return to sugar say on day 28.0 -
Almost any diet that has you significantly restricting fruits and vegetables outside of specific medical issues is a bad idea.0

Yeah to be honest, I don't care because it's just not sustainable.
How far is one willing to go to eliminate sugar eh?

No, I don't really do cheeseburgers, but sadly he broke me and I got a simple chicken wrap.0

Well it didn't murder my Radar...however it certainly did upset my stomach, but then again my stomach's been kinda revolting this new diet for a couple days now.0

ThIs diet in my opinion sounds too complicated.One that you will end up breaking the rules. E.g cheeseburgers and wraps
Someone said already work on eating in moderation instead
A diet that restricts fruits is strange if you don't have medical issues
Good luck0 -

Maybe your stomach acting up is a sign the diet is not good for your body. I certainly wouldn't want to eat anything that made my stomach upset for a substantial period of time.0 -
When I think of sugar detox I think of eliminating sugar cane specifically from the diet. To do that you need to look at every ingredient of every single thing you eat because sugar cane is addictive and they put it in everything these days! If you do this type of "detox" you will lose those cravings faster; but if you only do it for X amount of days there really isn't much point because you will just go back to eating the way you were before and go back to cravings and gain weight back. Making a lifestyle change is the better choice than any 21 day or 14 day or any number of day detox or cleanse or diet or whatever else they call it.0
