Hi,

I know there have been a lot of threads recently tiled:

Quit, cutting out, weaning myself off - Sugar.

Most of us realise you mean cutting back, reducing your intake, as opposed to cutting out altogether.

However there seems to be a minority of members who seem to believe you mean you are totally taking sugar out of your diets and I think you are causing them too much stress and anxiety (in fact for some I think it has blown their minds).

Therefore in future post please can the wording of your threads be better thought out - come on lets take everyone's feelings into considerations - not everyone can read between the lines.

Thanks guys.

P.S. - can we also cut back on the A - word (seems to provoke needless discussion).

    I am thinking the A word is addiction.

    As featured in all these 'I have a sugar addiction!!!' threads.

    Sorry - yes it's the addiction word.

    I didn't want to actually say it - as it may cause an argument. lol

    Probably not because there may be studies somewhere showing white sugar in oxygen!.

    I just think the people saying they are quitting/cutting sugar sound ridiculous. It's not that I don't understand what they really mean. Words matter, and how can you be taken seriously here if don't even know what it is you are giving up?

    I need my sugar. I run/bike 1-2 hours per day so I need the energy. So I'm not too worried about it. Plus, I get 95% of my sugar from healthy sources, like fruits. It's all the processed junk and sugar sources I avoid.

    Luckily for me, I don't have a sweet tooth. I'd much rather prefer my homemade chicken marsala or my quinoa black bean chili to a double fudge chocolate cake.

    Agreed, because splitting hairs is tedious work for no calorie burn.
