2 week sugar detox

My aunt is a nutritionist and she recoomened me to do this for 2+ weeks....i'm willing to do it for 2 weeks lol. Anyone else ever heard of this?
It is a little like any other addictive substance, there is a period of time that you must endure, to make the cravings subside. Two weeks should do it, if you go cold turkey without any sugar. And yes, honey, syrup....... is considered ... See Moresugar. The fruits like bananas, water-mellon, & grapes are higher in sugar content than berries. But, in my opinion - I would rather see you use fruit to sweeten, than sugar or honey. The sweeteners that are on the low-glycemic index (that don't spike your insulin levels) are: Stevia, Xylitol, Lundburg's Brown rice syrup, & Agave. I don't know which one is the cheapest. But don't overload on any of these, overloading causes problems.
When you have successfully weaned yourself from sugar, things like plain cinnamon will actually taste sweet to you. Sometimes I use it for my sugar, especially in my healthy cereal.
Another thing you need to watch out for is milk. The lower the fat content - the higher the sugar content. What I have been learning from my Chiropractor/Nutritionist and other sources, is that sugar seems to be the problem child - not necessarily the fat. That is a whole other detailed topic in itself. So it is best to choose the things GOD made, the way HE made them. Try to stay away from packaged stuff. I am learning this too. Hope this helps, but is not overwhelming.
