I don't buy into fear-mongering articles. Unless you can find scientifically-proven data that does make a case, then there is no need to give up sugar unless you have a medical reason to.0 -

There is no evidence in your links. Just a bunch of naturopath nonsense.
Come with peer reviewed studies or don't bother.-1 -
Yes I think I'm going to try it, I'm trying to choose between 2 books on Amazon, the David Gillespie or Sarah Wilson ones. I live in France, but would like a book by a UK author so I know what the ingredients are! I have weight and energy issues, skin problems, and a definite sugar addiction. I don't expect to live sugar free forever, but if I can lose weight and cut those habits of snacking on sugary things it's worth a try!0

Fear mongering without scientific backup is always fun to read while enjoying a Pixie Stick.

I once had a manager who bought those all the time. Yeah, he was always a little wired.0 -
I highly recommend the Sugar Impact Diet by Virgin. All about keeping your blood sugar level low by knowing what is high , med. and low sugar impact for all food groups and trying to only eat 3 meals a day with adequate protein and fiber to allow your blood sugar to really come down before you eat again. I think it is the missing piece for me.0

I'm not going sugar 'free' but I will be cutting back on my sugar because this is something that was working for me previously before I stopped doing it.
Unfortunately in the past few months I have found myself snacking more and more on sugary things and I need to stop. I firmly believe that FOR ME, the more sugar I have in my diet, the more I want. This is not to say that there is anything wrong with eating sugar, only that FOR ME, if I have sugar I tend to want more and this turns into a roller coaster of high calorie sweet snacks which seriously impact my ability to stay under my calories. I am not cutting back the sugar for any other reason apart from trying to stay under my goals. I don't NEED 100g of sugar / day - which is how my days have been going lately.0 -
No because I don't believe in cutting out something that doesn't harm me and I enjoy.
As for books, I prefer Don't Quit Sugar by Cassie Platt, who actually knows what she's talking about. http://www.amazon.com.au/Dont-Quit-Sugar-sugars-important-ebook/dp/B00HZ2ZXB20 -
Lost 83 lb. so far by cutting back my portions and eating more whole foods and cooking more. I have not cut out anything (although I did have to cut back my carbs on Dr's orders after a T2D diagnosis). I enjoy the occasional candy, cake, glass of wine, bottle of beer, whatever even WITH a medical reason to limit carbs. No reason whatsoever to cut them out.
ETA: went from medication to diet and exercise controlled diabetes in less than a year, still having the occasional sugary treat.0 -

A macrobiotic chef, a chiropractor, and a former teacher .... which of those is a viable, vetted source reporting on a scientific study?0 -
