A mini goal! For the next 15days try not to go over sugar intake! Who's in !? At the end of the day we can post it we reached our goals of not going over our sugar intake goal and at the vary end of the 15 days we can post days we reached our goals next to number of goal days. For example let say some one went one day over then they would sat 14/15. :-)

    Well I'm all for it, this is what I intend on doing. I don't know if I'll post daily here about it, but I'm up for the challenge. Sugar needs to be kept at bay. :laugh:

    Yeah, sorry. Same here. I don't eat refined sugar or processed food, so all of my sugar comes from fresh fruit. But if it means you're cutting out sodas and other nutrient-lacking high-sugar calories, then you go girl! I definitely wish you luck. Nobody ever went to the hospital from a powdered doughnut deficiency!

    It's got 26 grams of sugar for a reason. Sugar is excellent to support vigorous exercise and the recovery thereof.

    There's nothing at all wrong with sugar. Don't limit yourself for no good reason.

    I've stayed well under 50g of sugar a day since this thread started. I don't see a problem keeping up with that, its not that hard to do. Just cut out the excessive stuff.

    I think I just had my months worth of sugar this afternoon. It was fun and I don't regret it.

    I just saw this today and I am totally in. I've been without any sugar for last 2.5 weeks (other than sugar in vegetables and plain yogurts). I am intended to do it for a month, so count on me for support!

    I eat fruit, and that puts me over the MFP magic sugar cap frequently. I've also lost over 10% of my body weight eating this way (and drinking wine daily). IMHO I don't believe that sugar is the dietary equal to punching babies, killing puppies, or tripping old ladies. For me, it's moderation, balance, and honest tracking, not restricting specific things like sugar, fat or carbs.

    No reason to limit sugars, just watch your calorie intake. There's really no point in demonizing foods or macros.

    My Goal intake has been 35 but that means no fruit or no recovery drink. Only 12 more days left. :-)

    I'm in. My sugar goal is 150 grams.

    Same. 150 I can do, 35g a day is a recipe for dietary adherence disaster for 99% of people.

    I like the taste (and fibre) of fruit and cereal... not to mention icecream.

    Yeah, it's not that hard to do when you don't eat any fruits and not many vegetables...
