Sugar-Free Diet

edited November 2024 in Health and Weight Loss
I am starting a sugar-free diet, which sucks because I LOVE sugar. Anything sweet. Now I do a lot of baking so often my sugary treats were home-made from scratch. But that didn't seem to matter too much to my weight scale :(
The diet plan I have started is natural sugars only, sugar naturally in fresh fruits and veggies only. Along with that I can eat chicken fish and eggs for protein, but no sugary sauces and such.
I am on Day 1, and the sugar cravings are already driving me crazy. I am avoiding the pantry at all costs so I am not tempted.
Has anyone else tried this? Any recipe recommendations for meals? I am hypoglycemic so I need to have proteins, I cant just live off of fruit 24/7 or I get sick (which sucks because I love fruit so I would totally do that if I could)
Any tips would be great.
Thank you

    You really, really should pay your doctor a visit and get a good idea of what type of diet you should be eating.

    A yearly physical is good advice for us all and everyone should see a doctor before beginning their weight loss journey.

    I think you're on the right path by cutting out sugary treats, but your doctor would be able to advise you best on how to go about this in a healthy way that is right for you.

    (The cravings get easier over time. At first, you'll have a spoiled-child reaction to not getting what you want. But, just like a spoiled child, it will get easier when you're accustomed to discipline. :) )

    Tips?

    I suggest a diet based on adequate nutrient intake and moderation. Unless directed by your doctor due to health reasons I see no reason to completely restrict any foods.

    My dad is a doctor and I have plenty of doctor friends so I dont need the "see your doctor first" speech I was just looking for recipes and suggestions from people who had done this before.

    Saying "my dad is a doctor" is kind of a vague statement. Is he a registered dietitian?

    Starting sugar free diet by eating sugar. Sounds legit. Best of luck!

    There's a saying about catching more flies with honey than vinegar. I guess your sugar-free diet made you try the vinegar route?

    Should also mention that's there's zero difference in the way your body recognizes and processes natural vs added sugars.

    OP - it's kinda weird but works for me. When I have a sugary craving, I eat something sour. I was once told to eat a pickle when I wanted sweet and lo' n' behold it works :)

    Just move past the nay-sayers, everyone has an opinion, so take what you can use and garbage the rest :)

    Why even bother posting on this forum if all you do is tell people to go to the doctor. It's people like you why health care is so damn expensive.

    This, from a fellow baker.

    If I had thought in the beginning that I had to give up all sugar I probably would have give up ages ago. Thankfully I found a group of friends who subscribe to the philosophy of eating enough fat, protein, and veggies, and leaving a little room for the sweet stuff. It works wonders for me and looking forward to that treat at the end of the day keeps me on track.

    I stopped binge-eating when I went sugar-free on 1/1/14. Then I got hit by a car on 5/3/14 after not binging all year and used binging to get me through it and went sugar-free to stop binging again. Going sugar-free for a handful again resets me into non-binging mode. I also lost weight like crazy, it melted right off effortlessly (I'm currently not SF).

    Doctors tend to tell people to cut out sugar because it's an easy way to cut calories without tracking. But if you're already tracking it's not really necessary.

    But a year physical IS a good idea. Monitoring, preventing and catching things early is much cheaper in the long run than avoiding medical care until you are very ill.

    You really, really should pay your doctor a visit and get a good idea of what type of diet you should be eating.

    A yearly physical is good advice for us all and everyone should see a doctor before beginning their weight loss journey.

    I think you're on the right path by cutting out sugary treats, but your doctor would be able to advise you best on how to go about this in a healthy way that is right for you.

    (The cravings get easier over time. At first, you'll have a spoiled-child reaction to not getting what you want. But, just like a spoiled child, it will get easier when you're accustomed to discipline. :) )
    Why even bother posting on this forum if all you do is tell people to go to the doctor. It's people like you why health care is so damn expensive.

    Meanness level: Expert
    Do I get a prize?

    Yeah, this.
    Then maybe you won't be so sour.

    You do realize that your body doesn't care if sugar is from an apple or a cookie, right?

    You do realize it's not the same sugar and it has a completely different effect on the body, right?

    You do realize that your body doesn't care if sugar is from an apple or a cookie, right?
    You do realize it's not the same sugar and it has a completely different effect on the body, right?

    WRONG

    Sugar from a cookie: sucrose which is a disaccharide consisting of equal parts glucose and fructose. Sugar from an apple is fructose and glucose.

    LOLZ

    I should add OP, if you have hypoglycemia I wouldn't be just doing whatever you feel like (especially if you decide to truly go sugar free after realizing sugar is sugar, no matter what source). Talk to a dietician.

    I am starting a sugar-free diet, which sucks because I LOVE sugar. Anything sweet. Now I do a lot of baking so often my sugary treats were home-made from scratch. But that didn't seem to matter too much to my weight scale :(
    The diet plan I have started is natural sugars only, sugar naturally in fresh fruits and veggies only. Along with that I can eat chicken fish and eggs for protein, but no sugary sauces and such.
    I am on Day 1, and the sugar cravings are already driving me crazy. I am avoiding the pantry at all costs so I am not tempted.
    Has anyone else tried this? Any recipe recommendations for meals? I am hypoglycemic so I need to have proteins, I cant just live off of fruit 24/7 or I get sick (which sucks because I love fruit so I would totally do that if I could)
    Any tips would be great.
    Thank you
    Oh Dear lord!!! Whats going on today is it International sugar hate day or something

    Just eat food normal food. You don't have to cut stuff out
