So today I've decided that I will have no junk for a month! I've been allowing myself too many sweets and need to break the habit. Anyone wanna join me?

What counts as junk? Are sweets in fruit flavored yogurt ok?0

You're transitioning to veganism AND cutting out all sugar (do you mean added sugar?) for a month? That's a lot to take on all at once.0

No sugar? I think I'd lose all sanity.0

That's going to be tough, especially over Christmas.

Instead of cutting it all out, maybe slowly reduce how much you're eating? Try sugar or sweets just once a sweet and don't fuss over things if it fits in your daily allowance0

At Christmas time? Not a chance.0

Not to seem harsh but it sounds like a good way to set yourself up to go overboard with sweets on Jan. 2nd.0

I'd do no sweets for 6 days then one day a week have sweets.0

@natalienwilson9 welcome to MFP forums.
Best of success on reducing your sugar. Just cutting out most all processed foods will enable you to make that work for you but it does remove 90% of food items in the grocery store from your shopping list. I did it for a month last year and got to feeling so much less aches and pains now over a year later I am still not eating processed foods for pain management.0 -
Coconut oil is a processed food.0

I have been sugar-free for 14 years, it's so worth it and friggin' tasty!! You just have to expand your horizons!0

I'm assuming you mean all added/processed sugars? Can't be cutting out fruit/veg totally until then!
Best of luck to you!0 -

I stopped all added sugar or processed stuff with added sugar (like soda and even ketchup) 3 years ago for health reasons. It was hard at first but got easier. I hope you can do it for this month, and hopefully you can keep some reduction when you end it.
Whenever you are tempted, remind yourself you can have a taste in a month or 2. You don't have to give up everything forever...just a month. And when that month is over...see how it goes.
That one change is pretty big.
Good luck.0 -
Good luck Natalie. Sorry for all the haters. I am kicking as much of the sugar and processed foods as I can for as long as I can (I started Monday) and alcohol too. I know the holiday season may derail me, but even more reason to just say no, because it's not just the holiday foods that are packed with sugar, but pretty much everything else in the house. The carbs tend to set me off on a cycle where I am constantly hungry and seeking more of anything but healthy foods. Just giving it up cold turkey seems to work best. I've done this in the past, and while it only lasted two weeks, it really jumpstarted my diets.
