Hi there*

I'm an ex-sugar addict & I was hoping that I could have MFP friends who also quit sugar for motivation and encouragement. I'm quite new to this but doing extremely well. Quitting the white stuff is the best decision I've made for my health & if you haven't already, please go check out Sarah Wilson's I Quit Sugar website!

    More power to you, that stuff's a drug, just as much as cocaine is. What was the hardest part in the beginning, for you?

    Ugh...anyway, OP...

    I have a huge sweet tooth myself and went without sugar, fruit, and white carbs for three weeks, grasping for a solution to my digestive issues. The WHO does recommend no more than 25grams of sugar a day, equivalent to 6 teaspoons. The problem is sugar is in practically everything that's processed, and it's really easy to go over that amount. During my sugar abstinence I went through three weeks vilifying sugar and everything that had sugar in it. Eventually I lost my sweet tooth and came around to a saner approach to dealing with sugar. I make much of my own food to control my intake of sugar so I can save up the occasional sugary treat.

    Your arrogance hints at an underlying insecurity. Although... I could just be judicious and just chalk it up to ignorance or childish ego-centrism.

    Sugar is addictive. I'll be fair and say more addictive to some rather than others, maybe not someone as fortunate as yourself.

    OP, I'm going for sugar free myself! All-or-nothing It certainly isn't easy, but I believe it's the best decision for my long-term health.

    I gave up sugar in my tea (well it's a start!) I need a little education about sugar, I recently got a lab result for an A1C test that was 5.7 and the doc said that is in the pre diabetes range. I had never heard of the A1C test and so now I am looking at what to do about it and kind am a little confused with all the info from reading about refined sugar as opposed to sugar in fruit, and the GI index .... confused : /

    There have been a few studies on how sugar affects the brain and findings are that it's highly addictive for some people.
