Who here is trying to or has eliminated (or really reduced) their wheat/sugar intake? I have a friend who lost 40 lbs just getting rid of these 2 evils...so I'm open to it. Would appreciate advice from those who have been there!

    Hi

    I have reduced processed sugar from my nutrition plan over a couple of years. I take sugar with raw fruit intake. I do not use processed sugar nor sugar substitutes.

    Unless you have a medical professional advise to do so, I would not eliminate a food category.

    Good luck in your healthy journey

    Whether or not wheat and sugar are evil, cutting them out of your diet doesn't necessarily mean you'll get the same results.

    The reason anyone loses weight over a period of time is because they consume fewer calories than their body uses.

    Certainly, eliminating certain foods, especially if you have a weakness towards them, can be a strategy towards creating a deficit and therefore losing weight. But be careful about labeling food groups as evil. It's all about the overall picture of your diet.
