Hi all!
I lead a paleoish (I eat dairy) lifestyle 95% of the time with the other 5% being special occasions/holidays where I'm not so strict and will have bread/pasta or a dessert. Recently, as in 5 days ago, I started a very strict no sugar challenge for myself. The only sugar I get is from the milk in my coffee, sweet potatoes, carrots, and the occasional beet. I did this for several reasons: the most important being that I noticed when I went over 30g of sugar daily I would get intensely nauseated for hours at night time. I also tend to overeat (2,300 cal/day instead of 1,400ish cal/day) when I'm not watching my sugar intake. And lastly, I want to see more muscle definition and I make better food choices without the sugar which will help lower body fat %.
So that's my story, and I would like to add others that are doing this too! Whether it's no sugar/limited sugar/ or thinking about starting a sugar challenge of your own making. I'll be doing this until July 25th- there's an outdoor 3 day event I'm going to. And then I plan on adding back fruit and the occasional chocolate.
