I am taking a challenge starting January 14th thru February 11th. Eliminate sugar from all fluids and see how much weight you drop in one months time.

Replace Pop with seltzer water and fruit slices, eliminate sugar from coffee and tea, eliminate fruit juice and replace with real fruit instead, and as always consume more water.

I am siked so far and can't wait to start. Whose with me!

    Not to be a debbie downer, but what you're doing is just making sure you're in calorie deficit. Sugar isn't the issue it's overconsumption of calories that is.

    and you aren't eliminating sugar in drinks if you are adding fruit.

    My guess is diet and packets are ok in moderation. I heard about this challenge on the talk show called the "doctors."

    Thanks to the personal trainers that put their input in. I for one know that I have a problem with drinking way too many sugary drinks so this will be good for me. It will help me break some of my bad habits.
