Sugar Fast....
Replies

not good for you... hard to lose weight while using it... You just plain feel better physically without it... Mind over Matter- show that You are in control and not the Sugar.... Step Away From the Sugar!!! Seriously it's the ending of day 14 and I think its like another hurdle to get over. I think I dreamed about sugar last night... lol... I dreamed about that little bitty 1" brownie I put in the freezer during one of the first days on this Challenge. You know what though? I do feel better! I do feel more in Control! inches are falling really good right now. I can tell by my clothes. This is definitely doing me some good so I'm not giving up... Day 14 was a Success!1

Day 15... Done! Made it!2

Well done! My day 15 is over too. Bring on the next two weeks of sugar free living!2

In. So easy to mindlessly consume sugar!1

Day 16 Done! Made it!2

@Spears1354 what are you going to do when the challenge is over? Will you continue for longer or start to introduce sugar again in moderation? I've been thinking about that and what's sustainable. I definitely don't want to go back to how I was before. I was thinking I might do the first two weeks of November and then try maybe just having sugar at special occasions eg birthdays, parties, Christmas etc. All I know is I feel too good to go back!2

I think I'd like to join! I've tried to do a sugar fast in the past and have failed miserably in the first week. I'll need your help, if that's alright.2

I totally agree with you. I feel too good to go back to the way it was. I've been thinking about this also. I think I will definitely have something Chocolate on Nov 1rst...lol...probably that tiny brownie in the freezer also...haha... then I think what I'd like to try is pretty much staying most days like we're doing now but possibly pick one day out of the week that I can treat myself to something sweet if I really want it. if not then the next time I really want something I will have it... once I do eat something sweet then I have to wait another week, etc.... does this make sense? I was thinking that this way, with the holidays approaching, I can kind of manage to hold off for those days if need be so I can have that piece of pie on Thanksgiving, etc... Day 17 Done!

That sounds sensible. I think I'm going to stick to just special occasions. I would love to steer clear of alcohol completely though, but given how often I drink, I'm not sure that will be possible lol!
Day 18 - done. It is getting much easier as time goes by. Im grateful that it isn't really an issue at the moment.

Day 19 Done! Made it!2

Hi guys. I'd love to join in on this but we're nearly at the end of the month. Would anyone mind if I just reduced my sugar for the next week with all of you so I'm not going totally cold turkey, then start up a new challenge in November?2
-
Hey @tolkienite!
Feel free to do whatever works for you. We are on day 22 today, depending on timezone (I think). I'm not sure what's going to happen in November. I have a few birthdays and so presume I will eat sugar on the special occasions, but otherwise I defo want to continue being sugar free!
Welcome!

Day 20 Done... Made it!1

For some reason I'm craving a fizzy drink. Think I haven't drank enough water today so I've bought some sparkling water and some limes. Will make my own refreshing drink!2

Day 21 Done... Today I was just really hungry all day but I made it on the Sugar Fasting part! 1

Day 22 Done! Made it!1

I just found this post but I would like to join. I had a lot of sugar today....so tomorrow it is

A colleague and I were talking about how much sugar we eat. I literally eat soooooo much sugar, it's not good at all!!! I eat multipacks of chocolates and there's always cake in my office. I know I have zero self control. So we made a pact that we would not eat any added sugar for the rest of the October, in the hope that it will get us back under control. If anyone wants to join us feel free. We can perhaps post when we need motivation to stay away from the while stuff lol, we can also confirm when ila day has been successfully sugar free!!
That's not sugar.
That's food.
The issue isn't sugar, the real issue here is how you lack self control around cake and chocolate.
As a side note, my clients eat dark chocolate regularly because it's good for you.1 -
Day 23 Done! Made it! 3 more days!1
-
I went to a vegan festival today where there was free food galore, lots of vegan cakes, chocolate etc but I wasn't even tempted! I stuck to real food and had rice n peas, chickpea, sweet potato and pumpkin curry and plantain. Absolutely delicious!! I'm finding that real food is tasting really sweet now that I'm not having really sugary processed foods.
I've kind of lost count with the days but know that Monday is the last day. Defo think I'm going to continue!!
Well done @Spears1354 you have done so well!!!!2 -

Day 24... Done! Made it! It was the only Challenge I stuck to today! It's becoming second nature just to avoid sugar... I will definitely splurge on Tuesday but I won't go overboard to where it messes me up. I will def stick to some form of this I think because I just feel so much better!2
-
Day 25 done! One more day left!1
-
I haven't had any chocolate for a whole month, no cookies ,cake ,or ice cream. Only sweet I have had is Altoids .3
