I stopped eating sugar in March. I eat fruit, dates, raisins and dried fruit with no added sugar. I do not eat dairy, or bread and pastas. If you have any recipes to share I would appreciate it. TIA.

    I pretty much eat the same as you. What type of recipes (breakfast, lunch, dinner, dessert)? Do you like spicy food?

    Fruit, dates, raisins and dried fruit all have lots of sugar.

    Look up category you want to eat, select 'last week' and 'most favourite' then pick a recipe.

    That's what I do, though I don't avoid added sugar, because that's just silly. I avoid soy, (most) nuts, dairy, eggs, gluten, and a few other things due to food sensitivities that make me very sick.

    So you cannot have any dish with any veggie, eggs, etc as all contain sugar

    Is there a particular reason for the dietary restrictions? I just ask because understanding that may help with further assisting you in recipe hunts, etc... It sounds like a very restrictive diet, but I do enjoy myself a variety of foods, too, so I'm a bad judge.

    You can't say "I stopped eating sugar" and then, in the very next sentence, say you eat fruit. You can say, "I don't eat foods with ADDED sugars," but you certainly do eat sugar.

    If you stopped eating foods with added sugars, dairy, bread, and pasta as a weight loss effort, it's completely unnecessary. Most of us lost weight eating all of those things. It's calories in vs. calories out. If you eat 5000 calories worth of bread and pasta, you'll gain the same amount of weight as you would if you ate 5000 calories worth of vegetables.

    If it's for digestion issues, I'll keep my mouth shut because I know nothing of that.

    As for recipes and meal ideas, try paleo recipe sites.

    Oh, Gawd, food porn! I do the gluten-free, egg and dairy free due to allergies too.
    Thanks for the link!!! :p

    Yep, sounds like you are pretty much doing some form of a paleo diet. I don't personally agree with all the restrictions but hey, to each his own. There are a lot of great paleo recipe websites out there.

    From what I hear bacon is king with paleo. Maybe bacon wrapped fruit, dates, melon and steak.

    Is it Paleo if you wrap sugar cubes in bacon?

    I guess I might as well shoot myself right now because, aside from the sugar, I can't eat any of that stuff. :sad:

    I quit eating these foods because I suffer from Fibromyalgia. Its caused by inflammation and these foods make it worse. So I am motivated to not eat them. Not even in moderation. I have lost 30 pounds since
